Ah Ma's miniature food

         

Ah ma is 85 years old, she is one of my oldest student in miniature classes. She holding her recently handmade miniature food                       

She made a plate of mix miniature vegetables, a mini bowl of rice and a miniature cup of coffee, all the miniature bowl, plates and cup are done by her too. I am so proud of her.

The average age of this senior citizen miniature class is 65+ the youngest lady is my class assistant .

Nicole and her Cinnamoroll's cafe house

She is a very quiet girl with lots of ideas in her mind. As requested , I teach her to make her favorite cartoon character,  Cinnamoroll and his friends, ...Capuccino; Mocha; Espresso; Chiffon; Milk;in miniature size and  together with the mini cafe house too.

                                                Making her favoutite characters

        I am sure beside what I have taught her, she will add in some more her own favourite     food/snack/decorations for her miniature Cinnamoroll cafe

        Cinnamoroll and his friends, Capuccino; Mocha; Espresso; Chiffon and  Milk are having fun at Cafe

Burgers Lover

I like to make miniature clay food that I like to eat most.  I do not like to eat plain bread alone as I like to eat the fillings inside. Thanks to the one that created sandwiches and burgers, so that I can eat them both together.

            The burger looks nicer with a bit round "head". I used the real sesame  seeds.( you need to do something to the seed first)

           There is a hook on top of the mini clay burger, you can use it as a hand-phone strip or key chain.

             This mini burger is different from the others. It has a mini tomato and the colour of the meat is  
              darker. This is a miniature clay beef burger.

      To make all these miniature and live size burgers, you really need  to have a lot of  patience .

 

古早味Ice Kachang (live size model)

Below show a typical Singapore's style Ice  Kachang. This is a custom made real size clay Ice Kachang. During a hot day, this ice kachang really make you cool! I like this

              This bowl match the fake ice kachang so nicely.  I love it so much but need to give it away. I may not make the same like this again but  good things need to be shared and I hope you like it too.

              The fake red beans, corn etc  are surrounded the fake Ice Kachang to make it looks more  
               delicious!

                        From the top view of the fake Ice Kachang.  I like the corn on top.

Fake Drinks

I seldom make drinks as fake beverage need a lot of materials and these solution is actually not cheap. But I have made some real size fake drinks and ice cream. Hope you like them.

 
              This is a miniature  milk shake with whipped cream and strawberry on top

                     From the toothpick you can know the size of this miniature drink
     

         
                                                This is  a real size ice mocha

                                    With some chocolate on top, make it more delicious!

Miniature Beggar's Chicken

"This dish of Beijing origin, Beggar's Chicken also called "jiaohua ji" 叫化鸡 in the Shanghainese dialect, and the chicken is stuffed, wrapped, and roasted in this traditional Eastern Chinese recipe also this dish is very popular with Far Eastern gourmets."


Why it is called Beggar's chicken, that is a story behind, please visit:   www.foreignercn.com for more. 


I remember the last time I ate this beggar's chicken was about 30 years ago at a quite famous Chinese restaurant in Japan. I don't really remember what type of ingredients was placed inside the stomach of the chicken, but I still can recall the taste!

I have made this miniature Beggar's Chicken, well, the name doesn't sound nice but the taste is fantastic!

My handmade miniature clay beggar's chicken

  
                         I just put the things that I still can remember into the stomach of the chicken.

                         There are some chinese herbs and some chestnuts.....I have put some red dates too.

   
                     The size of this miniature beggar's chicken is shorter  than a toothpick.

Nayab and her master piece

My student, Nayab is from India. She came to Singapore last year and is now working in Singapore . She loves miniature so much and used to use play dough to make fake food in India as clay is difficult to get in her country.

She learnt from basic and now she is able to make her own doll houses as showed below.

This is Nayab's first lesson and she has made her first piece of miniature art work." Happy Birthday"

             She is holding her master pieces : the Ancient Kitchen and the mini noodles stall.

she is concentrating on her mini stall 

She has made the miniature kitchen and she made some clay food and placed it on top.

       

Nayab and her master pieces

Top view of the ancient oven, she added some other miniature food at home beside what I have

 taught her.

This is the mini vision of my hawker stall. 

Step by step , you can also make your own stall like Nayab. 

Miniature Ice Kachang

Singapore 's desserts are so colorful and Delicious. for example Ice Kachang. It is so good to have one in a hot day.

This is my handmade clay food: Miniature Ice Kachang. Hope you like it.

                                              Miniature clay food : Ice Kachang.

                  At the bottom of the transparent bowl, you can see I have put in some liquid milk and strawberries. Of course this cannot be eaten although it looks so............delicious!

                 

                  On top of this miniature clay ice kachang , I put some corns with milk on top .

              From my hand, you can see that the size of this miniature ice kachang is slightly bigger than the one I used to make. The size of this ice kachang is about 4 cm in height.

                To make it looks more real and nice, I added my handmade metal spoon too.

Clay Food Model/ Replicas - Curry Chicken

I love curry so much although I cannot eat too spicy food and curry chicken is always my first choice when buying 杂菜饭(mixed vegetable rice)

The picture below shows my handmade clay food : curry chicken. This is a real size curry chicken  ( slightly bigger than the real one) It looks good but so sorry cannot be eaten.

I will make the same design in miniature size for myself when I am not so busy. I cannot make the same thing twice because it is handmade,  every piece of my art work, no matter it is mini or big ,good or bad , it is the same to me as they are all made  from my heart and my both hands. I love them all!

                             
                                     My handmade clay food:  curry chicken  

    From the top view of the clay food model , you can see the clay chicken , clay  potato and  clay curry   leaves

        The plate use for this clay food model is very big, so I have to make the clay food slightly bigger to match the plate.
