Didn't know you were involved in such big events!<BR/><BR/>It must be very exciting and hectic at the same time. My eldest girl was toying with the idea of becoming an event manager. After being in the organizing team to organize several youth events at our church for 200 youths, she's having second thoughts.<BR/><BR/>I really enjoyed myself at the exhibitors booths. I paid RM5 for the food making competition but I was greatly disappointed. There was really nothing new or exciting. By the time we arrived @ 12p.m. the food on display looked 'very tired'.<BR/><BR/>The small Japanese selection was coated with a glaze to try keep it looking 'fresh' but that didn't work either coz it looked fake.<BR/><BR/>They were having a cocktail or mock tail competition when we were there and it was so quiet on stage with the poor judges yawning away. Hehe! So boring! Didn't even have some music - I guess they didn't want any distractions. These competitions look a lot better on TV. <BR/><BR/>In this Culinaire competition, lots of people were taking photos but come to think of it I didn't see many people taking photos (prob journalists) in the other exhibition hall.<BR/><BR/>Ok then I don't feel so remorseful that I didn't bring my camera. Thanks for the info.<BR/><BR/>Mmmm...spider roll, I'm going to make that once I get my hands on some soft shell crabs! Watch out for it!Bento Pethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16712867596618586380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3939411475431504418.post-82053165402165941162007-08-24T12:45:00.000+08:002007-08-24T12:45:00.000+08:00I forgot to add that I order Spider Roll at every ...I forgot to add that I order Spider Roll at every Japanese meal. Love that sweet savory sauce it is dripped in! <BR/><BR/>By the way, photography is usually not allowed in exhibition halls. Security and copyright reasons. It is an official rule published in small print somewhere, so do ask the organizers for permission before snapping pics. Otherwise, your camera may be confiscated.Rita Hohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13777602037418303561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3939411475431504418.post-45274382332297695382007-08-24T12:38:00.000+08:002007-08-24T12:38:00.000+08:00Such a small world!

It was a lot of fun, especially the food making competitions. It's great to hear that the show has grown into 5 halls! You would like their sister show in Singapore, FHA - Food & Hotel Asia - largest in Asia then, probably the world now. :)Rita Hohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13777602037418303561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3939411475431504418.post-31296868824189641652007-08-24T11:27:00.000+08:002007-08-24T11:27:00.000+08:00You shouldn't miss it, especially the konbu sheet ...You shouldn't miss it, especially the konbu sheet experience. It was the first time even for the Japanese chef!<BR/><BR/>I think the best way to promote a product is sampling and the Japanese were just so hospitable. My friend and I are already making a list of things to purchase. <BR/><BR/>Unfortunately consumers couldn't purchase on the spot and some exhibitors only sell in large quantities (especially the local exhibitors). The Japanese are so polite that they try to accommodate as much as possible. It was an inspiring experience!Bento Pethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16712867596618586380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3939411475431504418.post-62404341421742842252007-08-24T01:10:00.000+08:002007-08-24T01:10:00.000+08:00So you were at FHM.

Wow, it certainly a great trip to FHM cos a lot of food to eat ya. Too bad I can't drop by tomorrow.Sue Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11967553123657190527noreply@blogger.com
