Visual artist Lui Cheng Thak picked a mouth-watering theme for his first online art exhibition.

He wanted to capture that feel of excitement and discovery when people hop from stall to stall, sampling street food, both sweet and savoury, that have stood the test of time and remained firm favourites among the young and old.
