Thai noodles
 Momos (a south east asian dish originally) but is relished in India like anything. It is served with an "ohh so hot and spicy" chilli sauce that is sure to make your tongue burn..yet you will ask for more!!! :-)
 Chicken curry
 Steamed fish
 Abalone fish
 Cherry pie with a cup of coffee
 Fruit pie
A japanese bento box (with rice, salad, fried chicken, salmon, mashed potatoes)
 Kebabs..a delicious indian preperation made with minced meat (is served with onions and lemon)
 Jalebi - an indian sweet (served on a newspaper in a typical serving style at the local shops)
 Gulab jamun...ohhhh it is a sweet soooooo sweet, submerged in sugar syrup :-)
Dhokla again, a gujarati snack
I am in awe of miniatures completely....the kind of detailing and perfection that miniaturists bring in their creations is just so incredible. It is truely inspiring for me. There is one thing that i feel is very unique about my creations too :-) I make "indian dishes" in miniatures. This gives me an opportunity to try and create dishes that are new, different, entirely unique and interesting to make. There are a lot of indian dishes in my mind that I am yet to make..i have made only few as of now.
 That is a collarge made by a friend of mine..my miniatures and I :-) I'll post their separate pictures too:-)

'Paella' in a wok..the wok is also made out of clay

Dhokla (a very popular Indian, to be precise 'Gujarati' snack, topped with chillies and mustard seeds)
Unlike most of the miniaturists, i use air dry clay for my miniatures. Polymer clay is more commonly used  for food miniatures but I have not tried my hands on baking clay as yet...hopefully some day i will, when i get better with time :-)

Introduction

Hi everyone,

My name is Nayab, I am from India living in Singapore for work.

As the name suggests, this blog is all about miniature food. I am an amateur at this art and thought of creating a blog, hoping that i'll get a larger and interested audience for my humble creations. I have checked out hundreds of blogs and websites on miniature foods before creating one of my own. They would always bring sparkle to my eyes and i looked at the creations completely bewildered at such immense and rare talent. All those miniaturists are an inspiration for me, they make me feel that i can also do something worthwhile with my creations if i continue with the same passion. I love food and miniatures, both!! :-)
