Malaysians love to eat – all the time. Breakfast, lunch, tea break and dinner meals don’t do justice to us and our hungry tummy anymore.
In short, food is glorious.
Nady Nadhira, like most of us, loves to eat too. So much so that she decided to combine food with her passion for doodling!
The self-proclaimed "doodle addict" spends her snack time being creative with a sketchpad, building illustrations around cookies, candies, and chips.
The 21-year-old Pahang native uses many of the childhood snacks we grew up eating in her work. Some of the snacks include M&Ms, kuih bahulu and Honey Stars!
Nadhira is currently a teacher trainee at the Teachers’ Education Institute of Malaysia, majoring in Mathematics Education.
We're getting hungry just by looking at her work!
Nadhira told Daily Objects that doodling is able to calm herself down or to make herself feel better when she’s sad. She also said she's constantly inspired by everything around her.
Nadhira's art includes pop culture references to the 'Star Wars' franchise, 'The Simpsons' and Pixar's 'Up'

Obviously, the rule of 'never playing with your food' doesn't apply to Nadhira! Just look at the level of detail in her work:
