Konapun Bento (Japanese boxed lunch)

I am so amazed when I watch this video...it is so cute..hehe..hence, I start googling bout Konapun...

But, tell u the truth.. I never think that I can play this..it is so tiny & need a lot of passion..not too forget ~~swabar~~ PATIENT.. I think I will end up ~~baling~~ throw out all those tools..haha..it is so me..ngeeee...

Lil info bout Konapun by RRcherrypie who posted the vid above...

(1) It's not edible.
(2) It doesn't cook with actual heat. It is just powder and water with the sound effects.
(3) The fake food made of Konapun will rot soon.
(4) It's not for children under 8 years old. And must do play under the adult.

Basically, it's chemicals that are made to look like food. The kits make elegant looking meals and deserts, so it's a shame you can't eat them. There are a lot of videos and they're rather addictive. Visit RRcherrypie's site if you'd like to see more (http://wyvernspeakwriting.blogspot.com/).

so What is Konapun??? - Info credited to http://www.edgyjapan.jp/

Konapun is a miniature, non-edible sample food making kit for kids, manufactured by Bandai, one of the biggest toy manufactures in Japan. Each Konapun kit contains a set of powders and what you do is to mix these with water and imitate cooking process -- your favorite spaghetti, curry rice, fried chicken, and even sushi is ready for you (A petit-version though.)

This magic powder is mainly made from Alginic acid, seaweed's constituent, and each food powder contains different additives to create the color and viscosity required to imitate the designated dish.

... Before you start to cook, you need a kitchen set, (JPY5,250) or RM230 which contains literally what you find in a typical Japanese kitchen.
