"Lemang Making" Diorama, Made In Penang

Lemang Making diorama, Made In Penang Interactive Museum (2 November 2013)


The "Lemang Making" Diorama is one of the dioramas in the Diorama Gallery of the Made In Penang Interactive Museum. It depicts three men busy making lemang, a glutinous rice cake cooked with coconut milk and a pinch of salt. The mix is cooked in a bamboo container that is fired until the rice is cooked.

During the process, the bamboo container is turned at regular intervals to ensure that the rice is evenly cooked. At the end of the cooking process, the bamboo container is split open, to reveal the cooked rice, which is then sliced into circular pieces.
