I was recently invited to the media launch of three new Lee Kum Kee products:
- Chu Hou Paste (The first in Singapore!)
- Pure Sesame Oil
- Tomato Ketchup
At the event, Crystal and I spent an enjoyable evening learning how make our very own bento sets for the first time making use of the new range of Lee Kum Kee condiments taught by Shirley.

THE COOKING PROCESS: Whoopie Spaghetti & Buddy Bun Bento Set!
So here’s our workstation which Crystal and I shared with 2 other bloggers – Maybelline Sim and her friend.
Started off with writing my name on my banana (part of the bento):
And here are some of the photos of the cooking/preparation process of the Whoopie Spaghetti & Buddy Bun Bento Set! Most of the ingredients were already prepared earlier so it was pretty easy to do the cooking!(:
Here’s making the meat patty with Lee Kum Kee condiments added into it:
And then cooking the patties:
Cooked the mushrooms as well!
The end product: our delicious meat patties!
These patties are placed on top of the pasta which is tossed using the Lee Kum Kee condiments:
And then spoon them into little cute boxes:
The vegetables ‘salad’ with the Lee Kum Kee tomato dip were also put together by us as seen here:
At the same time, Chef Crystal was helping to make the sandwich fillings – it’s gonna be an egg sandwich btw!(:
Finally moved on the fun part – learning how to make the adorable buns characters from Shirley.
It was really fun and here’s the outcome of our hard work! Our lovely and super cute bento boxes!(:

Hi Shirley!
Thanks for dropping by my blog! And your creations are super cute, both on your blog and what you made yesterday! Thanks for teaching – hehehe Cant believe I made them! and surprisingly easy to make too 😀
I might try my hand at making others when I have the time, but its rather time consuming! >< You really must spend a lot of time doing it – I really applaud that!
Best of luck in the Best Cooking Blog! I've dropped you a vote(:
Cheers!
Its not that hard to make bentos! try try 🙂 thanks for the vote too! grateful~~ <3
Good morning need help on chu hou sauce. Couldn’t find them in fair price or cold storage. Do u know where can I get a bottle in Singapore? Thanks.
Hi Lawrence,
Maybe you could try Giant instead? I’ll keep a lookout at my nearby cold storage to see if I can spot the chu hou sauce for you as well(:
Cheers!
