Those childhood memories inspired Joyee Tan to start a business in February selling miniature keychains and earrings in the shape of keropok roda (wheel crackers), iced gem biscuits and fish-shaped biscuits. “The idea came about after my mum brought home some iced gem biscuits and a rush of childhood memories flashed through my mind. Tiny trinkets: Tan’s creations include keychains and earrings shaped like wheel crackers and iced gem biscuits. Then, I will bind it into an object using epoxy putty, AB silicon liquid, mould putty, shaper brushes and craft knives,” she added. Tan and her close friend Renee Wong, 23, also make other miniature food items like croissants, onigiri and kuih kapit (traditional love letters).
