Ayie, hello! Am back.. and so amazed at this latest posting. Just look at that color! I agree with Mei, it looks like food from the Deepavali. My carpool buddy is Indian and she gives me lots of their cakes during their Deepavali Festival. I am curious about that Malaysian Rice Art -wanna take a bite!
Tes, long time you didn't post in your blog, busy? I had prob in my blog follow...for some reason your blog isn't in my list, I better check it out. So this one is from the deepavali? Cool, didn't know about that...thanks to you and Mei. Maybe you can ask your indian friend to give you the same rice and let us know how it tastes. =) Nice to see you back! I checked your blog earlier...will come back in a while. =)
ah deepavali, that make sense now. we rarely have indians in our part of the country. thus rarely we were exposed to indian friends. it would be expected that we have no chance to take a look at the real thing either. :)
I just come across with this website when i'm actually looking for some diwali stuff. I'm an Indian residing in Malaysia. The above picture is what we called as "KOLAM" or "RANGOLI". Its just like we colored the normal white rice with pastels/watercolors and let it dry before we make design (any flower shape or peacock shape) on the floor somewhere in the living hall or at the main entrance. We decorated it with lights and flowers. There is no such things as colourful rice, we add the colors to the rice.
This rice art is a new addition to the food designs family. The vibrant colors make it look so pleasant to the eyes.
my eyes feel so good after seeing this...great... i call it as a great relief =p
ReplyDeleteNice rice art. Was this for Deepavali (Indian celebration)? Because it does look like the ones they have during Deepavali in Msia.
ReplyDeleteHi fufu! Feeling proud? You must be...it's from M'sia!
ReplyDeleteHi Mei! I think so but not so sure...it was among colorful cloths and items when I spotted this rice art. It was like a festival.
ReplyDeleteYou're a special mention on my upcoming post for jif photojournal. =)
That is incredible.

Rachel/Vanie,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info...it was just named literally as colorful rice art to give emphasis on the colors.
