Incredibly detailed miniatures will make you nostalgic for old timey Asian snacks
Miniature clay art has been known to get pretty realistic, but a Malaysian hobbyist has absolutely slayed it with a realistic doll-sized provision shop stocked with various miniatures she's made.
The retro-looking store is reminiscent of the mom-and-pop outlets you'd find across Singapore and Malaysia, and includes details like the iconic Chinese lunar calendar hanging on the back wall along with old Coca-Cola posters.

The artist, Lim Pui Wan, who goes by @picoworm on Instagram, has also documented her work in progress on each miniature in the store.
She even made individual capsule shells to go into the vending machines.
Lim told Mashable she makes all of the food out of air dry clay, and paints them with acrylic colour.
Depending on the complexity of the item, it can take a day to several days to complete an item.
This durian took her over three days, she said.
She started constructing the provision shop from scratch in October 2014, and completed it about half a year later.
The Malaysian university student occasionally sells her pieces, but most of these are for her personal collection, said Lim.
Here are more adorable creations.
This is a rice dumpling she made to mark Thursday's Dragon Boat Festival, widely celebrated in China and ethnic Chinese communities around Asia.
