Local Fare at the Library!

massive load of pictures!!! 

kolo mee, aka wantan mee, aka char siew mee, aka roasted pork noodles with dumplings.

fishball and minced meat with flat noodles (supposed to be dry type but i overdid the resin XD )

fishball kway teow soup

this tiny thing makes me feel a little bit of rage, wasted 2 days trying to make the darned red/green chillis. and in person, it just looks like a black mess, but not so bad in pics....gah. please excuse the blu-tack 

one of my fave breakfast items...chwee kueh, which is preserved radish on steamed rice flour cakes (?) mmm oily goodness! 

for my non-singaporean readers, these food items might not seem familiar to you, i hope they are immediately recognizable to my regional readers though!! the chee cheong fun, or steamed rice rolls in sweet sauce is another fave of mine. 

they are wound up a little too tightly though, just like me XD the real stuff lies a lot flatter.....

 and of course, deep fried dough fritters, or you tiao aka yew char kueh!  with beh huay jee (butterfly fry??) which is dough with sugar and sesame seed topping, deep fried to chewy yumminess. i love eating these, but i recall as a kid being rather terrible and tearing off just the sugary bits.

ok if i were to eat them now, i would do the same, only with more guilt XD

dipping these into a hot cuppa milo and letting it soak up the hot chocolatey drink...before attempting to manoeuvre the long floppy dough stick into my mouth without creating a big mess. THAT was a challenge. when you are 6, of course.

or have it with porridge!

i never tried sliced mushroom porridge, i would imagine it would be nice? or maybe it'll look nicer than it tastes....

if it were plain porridge, a bit of pickled veges would add ZING!

 i made all of these the past month because i realized i had not been focusing on any local fare since i started making minis. so why not now, eh? ^ ^  they are made mostly with air dry clay and epoxy resin, and given my limited experiences with ADC i'm glad they turned out reasonably well (barring some colour issues, curse those greens and reds! XD )

see all of these next week (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! omg....i'm not prepared!) and more....at the library! i had been invited a few months back when they 'found' me via theminifoodblog and asked if i would like to talk about miniatures :O  i will talk about ....gee basically whatever i usually discuss here in this blog, as well as some business aspects, but that to me is the *yawn* boring stuff :P
