Jin Jin Miniature Hawker Stall

     This is another version of my handmade miniature hawker stall.


This miniature hawker stall is bigger than the one I did before. The base is  about 15cm x15


           This is a traditional hawker stall in Singapore  in the 1970s.  You can still find this type of hawker
            stall in some  countries like Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam etc.


I cut every part of the wood  and joined them together and form this miniature stall . After that I
 start making all the miniature food stuffs, such as noodles, veggie, roast duck, chicken
and roast pork.
 
 I have made a wooden miniature chair too. There is a cup, a bowl of noodles and miniature chwee kueh
on the shelf table. 


                 In order to make it look a bit dirty and old, I purposely paint the shelf table.



                    
                             This is viewed from the back of the miniature hawker stall.                        
In order to match this  mini stall, I made the mini chop board, the miniature  knife and the mini soup port 
The size of the plastic basket just match the table.

Miniature Drink: Fake Beer

Do you like my fake oreal  cookies? I have added a glass of mini beer with it. From the picture below , you can see how small is the glass of beer.




               This mini glass of fake beer is different from the one on top. As I  find the white portion is too              
               tall so I redo again.
   
                   I

                                         I have made the mini glass too.

Miniature Cakes

Do you know by watching all those miniature colorful cakes are son tempting! these mini cake  in the showcase can change you mood.  If you feel moody or unhappy just go to a cake shop and take a look at those beautiful cakes , your mood changed! (Don't stand too long or they will ask you to buy one)

I always stand for a while when I pass by a cake shop, to get some ideas and also thinking what types of cake should I want  next time for birthday.

Making miniature cakes consume a lot of time. because  you need to prepare a lot of toppings, icing and design etc.   I have finished all these cakes in few hours time. Hope you like it!


                                        Which miniature cake do you like most?


These are 1;12 scale miniature cakes




                                                 I love all these mini cakes!  Because I have made them all !


                I like my miniature cake model to be simple and neat . Prepare  all the toppings, miniature  
                     fruits( if you want a miniature fruit cake) fake peanuts etc before starting the cake.



 
                     The miniature wooden show case match the miniature cake models very well.

                             I bought the miniature showcase in Thailand few years ago.

Miniature Bak Kut Teh and Curry Rice

Singapore Local Delight: Mak Kut Teh has turned into miniature size! I have repeated making this miniature   bak kut teh upon request. I have added some miniature clay garlic and clay sliced chilli.



          The colour of this miniature bak kut teh is a bit lighter as you see at the hawker centers.(after
           cooking for a long time, the colour of the meat will become darker) but I prefer this colour
          (the original meat colour ) because I do not want the colour of the soup and meat look the
            same.


                                  Added some sliced mini red chili and  mini garlic.                                  





                                          Have a plate of curry rice with bak kut teh?

Miniature roti prata

The metal plate that I use to serve my miniature roti prata is made by me. 
In order to cut the plate nicely you need special equipment to do it.



                           My handmade local clay delights : miniature  roti prata and miniature ice jelly . The fake
            orange juice look good from this view.

   
                               Oh, my mini straw is not straight, the fake orange juice looks delicious too!



           Miniature clay food model: roti prata with fake curry and potatoes on my self-handmade metal
