While some of us may recall our childhood lunches as a series of soggy sandwiches in boring brown paper bags, two lucky children in Singapore are bound to look back on all their meals as miniature worlds of cute and delicious fun.
It’s all thanks to their mother, who decided to expand her skills beyond the humble bento lunchbox, and bring the cute to any meal of the day. Check out her amazing collection of healthy meals after the jump. It’s the best collection we’ve seen yet!
▼ Li Ming, the mother behind these creations, started out on her cute design journey several years ago with Super Mario.
▼ Her two young sons usually request the characters or designs they like.
▼ Totoro, from Ghibli’s My Neighbour Totoro, is a firm favourite, popping up in rice dishes and pancakes.
▼ Frozen‘s Olaf makes his appearance when the weather gets cooler, frolicking in winter soups.
▼ Even the Minions from Despicable Me get a look-in.
▼ Line characters hug it out amongst adorable heart-shaped berries.
▼ Kitty desperately tries to reach the fish before anyone else devours them!
▼ The mealtime menagerie includes ducks, chicks, bears, penguins and more.
▼ Sleepy animals are perfect for dinner-time meals that help to set the scene for bedtime.
▼ Nothing says relax like Rilakkuma relaxing on a Rilakkuma shaped rug in a Rilakkuma lounge room!
