Wonderfood Pasar Malam Diorama

Wonderfood Museum's Pasar Malam Minatures (15 May 2016)


The Wonderfood Pasar Malam Diorama is a set of miniatures by Penang's imminent miniature sculptor Khoo Chooi Hooi. It depicts a scene at a pasar malam, or night market, with stalls selling various hawker food. This is the first time I have seen a Khoo Chooi Hooi miniature set of a night scene.

Once again, his observation skills and faithfulness to details shine through. Every item on the scene that appears so casually strewn is not casual at all, of course, but the result of carefully arranging every item in order to capture a snapshot of an actual scene in miniature. And that's what makes a Khoo Chooi Hooi miniature so engrossing. The darkness is also nicely authentic, with little bulbs providing ambient light.

These miniatures were incredibly difficult for me to photograph, due to the challenging light condition.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
