Mini Roasted Chicken & Suckling Pig

In my whole life I only see a real suckling pig once if I am not wrong. The head of a real suckling pig does not look good to me so when I made a fake suckling pig, I made them in a cute way.  so it won't look so scary .  I also made a mini roasted chicken and to make it looks oily and crispy you need some special technique and skill.   The other dish is a plate of curry fish head, as the head is covered with most of the veggies and curry, so it does not look so clear.
