They're quite fun to use, heehee. Onigiri molds can sometimes be found at 88 peso stores like Japan Home---just keep coming back until they restock it. If you're in the Makati area, Hatchin along Kamagong in San Antonio Village (durn, I really should do a formal post about them already) stock them too.

Doing them by hand still beats the clingwrap technique when it comes to making perfect triangles. And I've never seen any onigiri molds yet--sounds good, I'll look for some so I can have more than the usual triangles or round onigiri. Oh, I'll subscribe to your blog :D I really love your bento! I ought to try them soon! Oh yeah, where did you buy your craft punch? I'd love to buy some so I can make faces on my onigiri, too :) Thanks! Wow, I’d love to have your high tolerance for heat!

Justhungry is such a lovely site, I have her feed delivered to my bloglines account but I have to admit, a lot of the older posts, I've yet to read. About bare handed rolling though, I have a high tolerance for heat. I actually enjoy doing it by hand rather than use an onigiri mold. I'm sure a lot of people will find the clingwrap & bowl idea useful though.

Your bento are so nice to look at. I can't tell you how happy I am to find a Pinoy bento site, because you'd surely know how to put a Pinoy touch in them! I started making onigiri early this year, too. At first I rolled the rice with my bare hands (really hurt), until I found <a href="http://www.justhungry.com/2007/01/onigiri_omusubi_revisited_an_e.html" rel="nofollow">an easier procedure</a> at www.justhungry.com :) I usually put tuna in mine. I wasn't able to take pictures of them, though. Love your entries! Looking forward to more! :) Hi! :) I found your blog through LP, it’s so cute! Your bento are so nice to look at.
