USING big spoonfuls of imagination, 80 youngsters used craft materials to ‘cook’ up fake food during the Malaysia-Japan Children Art Festival in Penang.

With a bit of paint, they transformed cardboard, foam and plastic into ‘sushi’, ‘noodles’, ‘rice’ and other delicacies for the festival’s craft competition.
