Miniature Chicken Rice

One of our local delights : chicken rice, is also one of my favourite food. For a long time, I didn't make miniature chicken rice (too many other food wanted to make) and recently I made these two mini chicken rice  in different scale.




My handmade miniature fake food:  roasted chicken rice 



Singapore's beloved chicken rice in miniature form. 



From the back view of the plates.  I made the black sauce, ginger and chilli for my chicken rice , without them chicken rice is not a chicken rice



If you look carefully, the super mini rice that I made is different  in both my miniature chicken rice.



As this is the bigger version ( 3 times bigger than  the smaller one) so I added some bean sprouts and make a bigger black sauce and ginger .



This size is slightly bigger than a 20 cent coin. 




Look for supper mini sauce bowl to match this size is very difficult , so sometimes you need to make your own bowl.

Mini Pig Trotters & Mini Braised Pork

This is a custom order from someone who love pig trotters, I really love this piece of art work as I think I made quite successfully. It is not that difficult that I think it was , but as there are so small and mini , a bit difficult when holding it. .... keep dropping and redo many times!!
I also made the braised pork with a  half cut egg .



My handmade mini clay Pig trotters 




The size of bowl is about 50 cent coin. I put 2 braised eggs into it. 



I do not make the whole pig trotter as we do not eat it like that... this version seen good for food




See.. how mini the pig trotters are !




My mini clay  braised pork , This is a 20 cent coin size of scale.  



Accidentally made my bowl dirty ........  =-_-= as the eggs are so small , it is very easy to get damaged or dirty once your are careless ... and if you dropped on the floor , I think you must remake another one as they are so small , you may not find them so easily

Sam called me the last minute to book a lesson for her girlfriend on her birthday. It is a very unique and fun idea for couples to have a miniature lesson together and enjoyed the special moment together.  I shared the happiness with them too!

These are what they made during the lesson, a mini size of fake KFC and a container of Dim sum

New series of my Breadtalk

Stylish and delicious! My handmade miniature bread! Making a nice and delicious miniature bread is actually not that easy as colouring or highlighting on a mini clay need practise and  practise.

Displaying these irregular shapes of bread into a basket or plate is also quite difficult for beginners as sometimes the size/shape does not match well when putting them together.

PS: I have tried many times to put them nicely into the basket and finally I decided to put them into 2 containers. 



My handmade miniature clay bread.



I used a basket and a wooden box to place all my miniature bread. 





From the top view of my mini bread




Before arranging. I made different sizes of bread just in case I may need a smaller piece of bread to fill the basket nicely.  I forgot to fill the fruit into the flower -look bread !




Hope you like my miniature bread. 

You can sign up 1 lesson on bread : http://www.kinsminiatureworkshop.com/185134063
