World Food Fair 2015 @ Singapore Expo Hall 5 (10 - 13 Sep 2015)

I reached the EXPO at around 11am (I thought I was very early) but was surprised that there was already a huge crowd of mostly old uncles and aunties there. 

Decided to have a proper brunch first before snacking around.  Ordered the Penang Prawn Noodle from this booth.

 Penang Prawn Noodle at $3 per bowl.  Nothing fantastic.  The place was quite crowded already and I managed to share a table with 3 nice aunties.

 The colour kuehs from this booth attracted my attention.

 Decided to buy a packet of carrot cake/ yam cake (5 pieces at $2.50) to snack first.

 Kueh at $3 a pack or 4 packs for $10.

  I bought a box of Ginger Drink with extra honey at $5.  There are 10 sachets in a box so I am going to go on a detox for 10 days.  Haha...  Just kidding!

 This was one of the most popular booths as there were free food samples!  Fried fish fillets, popcorn fish, salmon tempura etc.

 I couldn't resist the temptation and bought 1 kg of salmon tempura ($10) and another 1 kg of popcorn fish (also $10).  They threw in a slab of fish fillet into my free cooler bag.

 You can get a free cooler bag for purchase of $20 and above.  I think it is very useful to me if I were to go to market or supermarket for grocery shopping.

 The 4 packets of kuehs and glutinous rice that I bought from Hougang Nonya Kueh's booth ended on our dining table as dinner.

Singapore Food Expo 25 - 29 May @ Singapore Expo

The Singapore Food Fair will be held at Singapore Expo Hall 5 from 25 to 29 May 2012 from 11am to 10pm.  Admission is free.

We went at around 11am before the crowd kicked in.

Hubby bought "Shark-fin" Soup ($2) first to warm our stomach.

Even though we were already very early, we couldn't find any table for us to settle to enjoy our meal.

 

 City Satay got quite good business here as one of the stalls with the longest queue.

 Roasted Duck Stall

 We bought the Peking Duck crepe at $5 from here.  It was such a disappointment.  Don't think this tasted like Peking Duck.  No cripsy duck skin with very salty sauce.

 Cute signboard captured my attention.  Asked hubby to queue here to buy deep-fried mushroom.

 However, this was awful.  Fried mushroom is one of my favourite snacks but this one, they did it quite badly with too much flour and not really crunchy.

 We bought 3 packets of Muar Mackerel Otak from this stall as we had tried before and we know it is good.  This stall, not sure what is the name, used to sell similar items with similar setup at our neighbourhood  before.  However, the business then sustained only for a few weeks.

Seriously, I think you won't miss much from this food fair.  If you are going to Expo this weekend, you can still hop by to the Popular book fair or even the electronics fair at the other exhibition halls.

NATAS Fair 2011

Hubby and I went to Natas Fair at the Singapore Expo yesterday, hoping to get some good travel deals.  We had our lunch first at "Yummy Chopsticks" at Expo before going to the exhibition halls. 

The fried rice photo in the menu looked so appetizing and it tempted me to order their fried rice.  I saw this fried rice on almost every other tables too.  However, it tasted like those fried rice designed for kids, with lots of mixed vegetables which I didn't really like.

Mango and Shrimp pancakes

The flattened shrimps could be found in between the mango and the skin of the pancake.

Crispy Tofu

I liked these big fried wanton with tofu inside but the bottom part of the skin was very oily.

Xiao Long Bao

Definitely cannot be compared with those restaurant type of standard.  The skin was thick and inside was not juicy.

After lunch, we bought the admission tickets at the mastercard counter whereby we could get a $1 off per ticket.  Thus, we paid $7 for two which was later refunded back to us by the travel agency after we bought the package from them.

We signed up for 8 Days Yunnan Shangri-la Deluxe tour package with CTC.  This is the fourth time that I took up China tour package with CTC.  The staff who served us was really helpful and very service-oriented.  We got the dates that we wanted and signed the package with him without going to the other tour agencies to do comparison.

Looking forward to the trip in December!!
