Wonderfood Museum

This guide to the Wonderfood Museum in George Town follows Sean Lau, a graphic designer who took one commission to sculpt a restaurant's fake dish, apprenticed under Penang sculptor Khoo Chooi Hooi, and built a business supplying plastic food to restaurants across Malaysia before filling this 1940s Art Deco hall with his oversized creations in 2015. Walk the rooms slowly and look closely at the gilded pizza near the entrance, dabbed by hand to catch the light like real grease.
