It's just a basket… isn't it?

In this sequel to The Amazing Sarong, Xiaoming finds all kinds of uses for a beautiful Chinese wedding basket. He delivers ang ku kueh in it, turns it into a lion dance prop and wears its cover as a sun hat. At home in a second-floor shophouse, the basket even goes up and down on a rope to pass a comic book and a bowl of noodles! Winner, 2019 Singapore Book Awards (Best Children's Picture Book); shortlisted for the Hedwig Anuar Children's Book Award 2020.
