Miniature Bakul Siah



Saw this miniature "Bakul Siah" on sale at Jonker Walk. The actual-sized "Bakul Siah" is commonly used to deliver gifts by a bridegroom to his bride house during a Chinese wedding. When I was a child, my relatives used to send cakes using this basket. But these days most would just place them in Tupperware containers.

Have you seen a "Bakul Siah" before?

Those are lovely mini nonya baskets. My late mom had a bigger one. I think it is still in my brother's house hidden somewhere in the storeroom.

"Use your first smile, your first form of generosity, of love, of kindness—use it at home; start at home. And if there is something left over—if … your plate is just full of abundance of patience and goodness and smiles and joy, then by all means, you should go … and offer that to others. But we must begin at home." by Dr Robin Smith
