"Nasi Lemak Seller" Diorama, Made In Penang Museum

Nasi Lemak Seller diorama, Made In Penang Interactive Museum (25 November 2013)


The Nasi Lemak Seller is one of the dioramas at the Made In Penang Interactive Museum. Installed in the diorama gallery, it is one in a series of dioramas depicting the various occupations in present and yesterday Penang.

The Nasi Lemak Seller diorama depicts a Malay woman selling the packed oily rice. She has her makeshift stall by the five foot way of a traditional shophouse. The stall receives three customers in the form of two young boys and a foreign tourist.

Notesworthy in this diorama are the details of the newpaper wrapping the nasi lemak, the plastic container used to keep change, the plastic bag in the seller's hand and her apron. The parking meter and newly painted parking lots on the road also add to the charm of this diorama. The entire makes the scene appear as though it happened at night or in the early morning, as the stall is lit from a single, unseen street lamp.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
