Versace, Gucci, or Lv? Leave these tedious task to the boys.

But unless, you don't even know how to use a knife, or else, this is just a PIECE OF.....

Ok, basically, I will teach you guys how to do the basic thing, and how to decorate it, and what ingredients you want to use actually is optional, depends on personal preferences.
1st: How to make your rice brown?
Ok, I am not going to teach you how to cook the rice as everyone has the rice cooker.
But if you want your decoration bear to be a "Brown Bear" instead of the "Polar Bear" or "Panda" , mix your rice with the soy sauce.
DONE.
2nd: How to shape the rice?
Use the cling wrap. Always use the cling wrap.
You can use your bare hand tho, erm. Just that it's not that hygiene.
See? The Brown Bear's head is shaped.
You can achieve a better result while the rice is still sticky and warm.
Mine is actually quite a bad example....
3rd: How to make the octopus decoration?
It's pretty simple.
But always remember to buy a bigger sausage.
The length is not the vital but to get the perfect Octopus Deco, you have to make sure the sausage is thick enough for you to cut.
Cut a cross, and another cross again. ( so hard to explain lah, use your brain here )
Left it half hanging to form the Octopus head.
Now you'll have 8 tentacles.
Fry them on a pan/wok with a little oil. And you're done with the octopus.
4th: How to make the freaking cute Hen Decoration?
This is also very simple.
First, prepare a boiled egg.
Cut a small thin slice of carrot in this shape.
And poke into the egg.
Cut another slices of carrots into some shapes as these.
And yes, poke them into the correct place.
5th: How to make the awesome flower deco!?
This is also very very simple.
Cut the strawberry into half, and into shape like these:
Cut a slice of the cucumber and cut them into shapes like these:
Use a toothpick and joined them together.
6th: How to make the cute rabbit decoration ah?
Ok. This is something hard.
As it is kind of hard to explain with my utterly finite vocabulary.
If you cannot get it through the picture, just don't do the rabbit deco okay? *RAGE*
Basically you have to crave a shape like below on your apple.
And gently slice the rabbit ear. ( DON'T CUT IT OFF MORON)
And do a upper cut lah. like below:
Your rabbit basically will look like this.
It can be a base to make your strawberry flowers stand.
Something extra?
You can actually fried some nuggets to make as base too.
Do a cheese roll egg if your bf loves cheese.
It's pretty easy, just fry the egg into 7/10 cooked and roll the cheese on.
Mama-mia!
Decoration start.
Oh well, to make the eyes, you can always cut the seaweeds into the shape you like.
for the nose part, use a toothpick and draw on the cheese!
Slowly modify until you are satisfy!
Use some cucumber slices to be the separator.
Ok, I use black sesame to make that ASEAN eye for the hen.
xoxo
Good luck girls!
p/s: Leave me a comment if your bf likes it!
ehhem, or your girlfriend loves it! :D
