It was honestly one of the best fairs Ive been at( not that I go to alot of fairs, not at all haha ) but I think this will be the best still.
Thanks to Xueli, I had a chance to work at this fair as a promoter for one of the exhibitors in this very very huge fair that is held only once every 2 years.
This fair is only open to trade visitors meaning the public is not allowed and even for trade visitors the entry fee was pretty expensive if im not wrong! Oh my, what a great opportunity that I got to go to this fair and get paid! *you have no idea how fortunate I felt I was when I entered the fair, It was better than striking 4D ! *
ha ha
Ive never heard of this event at all before, so It was an eye-opening experience and a very inspriring and educational time working there at this fair for 3days. (the fair lasted 4days!)
This is the booth I worked at :
A taiwan company who distributed a famous Taiwan noodle brand: 度小月擔仔麵
and pork/condiments sauces
The Boss and lady boss with the Taiwan ambassador in Singapore I think.
She was famous! the taiwanese exhibitors all wanted to snap a picture with her when she was "patrolling".
the crowd was huge wherever she went hha and her "paparazzi followers" all wore suits as you can see. HOW ATAS . I like !!!!
*At this event, almost every man was suited up. *
nice nice niceeeee! :D
It was a pity they didnt had the utensils and props to let people try the noodles like what the other booths were doing!! Since it is their first time getting a booth at this event.
though they did let me cut a few Honey cakes that is part of their "food stuff ".
THE HONEY CAKE WAS SO GOOD, I secretly stole a few more bites than I think I should have. HAHA
It was fun wearing gloves , slicing the cakes like I was some pro-chef. HAHA.
genuine people came to try but like any other free give aways there were always the freeloaders who just want to eat.. ( I AM ONE AT THIS EVENT I ADMIT HAHAHA)
During the whole 3 days, Ive met so many interesting people from all walks of food-life, had countless of tastings and saw plenty of food products that perhaps would never get a chance to be sold in Singapore!
People who visit this fair would most likely be dealing with food or the service industry.Stretching from hall 2 to hall 10(@expo) , you can imagine how huge this event is!
I was in Hall 7, mainly the food section and boy, the people who were grazing the event had the most awesome job. SHOPPING FOR FOOD?!
Part of my job scope was to get name cards and exchange business contacts for the company I was working for and wow, some of the ppl I met includes the Merchandising manager of walmart China! (didnt know china had walmart!?) , bosses of supermarts and markets in indonesia/thailand/hongkong etc, pretty impt person from penang chef's association etcetc. and even a director of a dessert cafe in Singapore!
:D
and within the span of 3days, the variety of food I tried that were offered at almost all the different boots in the halls ,definitely could not be counted with my 2 hands. (ill need to borrow yours!) HA HA HA
There was also so much to see and learn :D
Demonstrations, fresh seafood, new techonology , breakthrough -gourmet
From desserts to meat to pastries and even liqour! everything was there and there was no food you could not find im sure!
This event gave me another idea of a possible career path in my life.
working in the food industry!
haha how nice would it be , If I could be paid to shop for food ? taste food ? buy them?
OMG :D lol
*continue dreaming~~ *
I believe nothing's impossible though, so MAYBE.. maybe one day I would be doing something like this and maybe in 2012 I'll be visiting the event this time as a trade visitor instead!
hahaha.
Gosh. Darn long post that is so IMAGE HEAVY.
time to sleep !
ciao!
