Summer Fancy Food Show Part 2 - Guest Blogger

There were foreign countries that showcased their products including Malaysia. Some duplicated each others products like olive oil from Spain, Italy and other Mediterranean countries. Enjoy viewing the pictures.

Indomie (#1 selling ramen/instant noodle in Indonesia)

Snacks from France

Miso soup and soba noodles

Italian cheese (60% of the show was filled with Italian food)

Milkmaid model promoting Dutch cheese

Italian roasted pig (Little did I know Italians serve their pig similarly to the Chinese, LOL!)

Malaysia's booth (Kind of pathetic as it was poorly executed. Nothing to shout about compared to other countries.)

Not sure if this is a fancy food show or a World Cup event. South Africa's booth.

India's booth (Usual briyani rice samplings)

China's booth

Spain's booth

Korea's booth

Turkey's booth

Morocco's booth (Attendant promoting his teas. Where is my sheesha?)

Vosges chocolate that everyone is talking about. They have chocolate with bacon bits.

Greek Yogurt seems to be promoted everywhere. Here the Greek Goddess was enthusiastically promoting the product.

Finally, what's everyone is talking about is the fruit called Baobab from Africa. (Hint: The gigantic tree that is always featured in African safari movies and documentary). It seems like it is already a big thing in other regions but has not appeared in the US's food chain yet. I didn't know the tree produces fruit. It was said to have lots of functional benefits and can be added into food or beverage. We shall see whether it will be in our daily product. If you see it add to your packaged food or drinks, do let me know.

Summer Fancy Food Show Part 1- Guest Blogger

I was offered to go to fancy food show at Jacob K. Javits Center in New York City. I was thinking.....it is either working at my office or going to event outside my office. So I decided to check out the most discussed fancy food show.

The entrance of Fancy Show

It is kind of reminded me of IFT Annual Meeting + Food Expo. If you like food both events would be blasting for you.

One note from the organizer kind of annoyed me as no photography was allowed except for the press. What's the point of showing your products at a trade-show if you do not allow attendees taking picture of it?. It is like going to a car show and no pictures taking are allowed. Duh.....! Haven't they heard of trademarking or copyrighting their inventions? &^%$#@*

To avoid getting thrown out I either took the pictures with permission or discreetly. He he...! Hence the pictures quality might be a little off.

BBQ Beef with Stubb's sauce (Defying me taking picture anyway)

Italian Gelato

Mona Lisa made of jelly bean (s)

Salami (aka Italian sausage)

Fresh mushrooms

More to come. To be continued...!

The Beautiful Game

Thank you Gary & Rosa for thinking of me -- even when you were both in the Far East! My little Zakumi came all the way from Wal-Mart in Shanghai :).
