Miniature Singapore local delights (1)

I love Singapore food so much , that is why I try my my best to make them into miniature size . I will try as many local food as possible and will make it until I satisfy.  :)
Here are some of my handmade local miniature clay food, chwee kueh , rojak , mee siam and chilli crabs and bak ku teh  etc.I like the Hokkien mee on the brown warping paper.

These miniature local food are all in the 1:12 scale sizes. They are really very very small and mini.

Miniature Kayaking

When I first heard this name "kayaking" I thought it was a kind of bread ( because of the word kaya )
This is a kind of water sport and I think I am too old for that. But I promised to make one miniature kayaking for her although I never try this water sport before.

I like to try everything, not only miniature clay food. So if you have something special that wish to give it away as a gift, I am very happy to help you to fulfill your wish.

The size of the base is about 8 x 4 cm . Picture below is the back.

爱心mini chicken rice

Never never get tired of making miniature chicken rice, because I love chicken so much.  I got this heart shape plate recently, so I made my favorite dish, chicken  rice together with tomato and cucumber. 

Below this a mini  bowl of noodles with pork meat

                           From this picture, you can tell the size of these two miniature clay food.

Miniature Nasi Lumar

This is my newly made miniature nasi lumar.

About 4 years ago, I have made a mini clay nasi lumar,  is much more bigger than this one. (I used the real banana leaf plate.) I like this new miniature clay nasi lumar because the size is not too big nor too small and everything is clearly been seen.

This is not a real food, this is a miniature clay food for display only.

The size of this mini plate is about 5cm x 5 cm

Miniature Bakua & pork floss

I promised my student to make this miniature clay bakua and pork floss for her. Here they are.

 It is so difficult to get the right colour of the bakua. I have tried so many times, and I think this one is the closer colour I can get.
Beside the bakua is the miniature pork floss.

Miniature prawn mee (noddles)

It is so difficult  to make a miniature  prawn with shell, I have tried several times but did not look good. so at the end, I will usually use the mini prawn  without shell.

The miniature clay prawn noodles shown below already sold. I have only make one of a kind. 

For this miniature bowl of noodles, I have added more food such as pork, veggie, fish cake, sliced red chili with seeds and of course 2 mini prawns. This is a very nice piece of work. I like it very much.

Play Dough

Play dough is a modeling clay  usually used by young children for art and craft. It never get hard and can reuse for many times. Children use it to make simple ornaments as play dough is a non-toxic, non-staining, reusable modeling clay. I use play dough too. 

These miniature fruits are made with play dough. They will not get hard and remain soft. The colours are so bright and beautiful. 

         These two pictures are taken under low light, look a bit dark.(so sorry) . The actual colour should look like the one showed in the first photo.

Miniature curry chicken noodles

Singapore food reflects the very best of our multicultural island. For example, this curry chicken noodles. Curry is belong to Malay cuisine and chicken noodles is belong to Chinese cuisine. They mixed  very well with each other and form a delicious dish! 


I have made this miniature curry chicken  noodles recently. Those who have already learned how to make miniature curry and miniature chicken rice during the lesson can try to make this dish too. Very simple and easy.
I have added a basket of breads to it.Hope you like it!

                               This is my handmade miniature clay food: curry chicken noodles.

I have also added a mini clay basket with my handmade miniature clay breads to go with the curry noodles.Make a pair of wooden chock-sticks and place them on a mini tray. Looks yummy......

I used the mini bowl is about 5 cm in diameter

The difficult part is the fake curry.
