Went to the Singpaore Food Expo yesterday to see see what kind of new foodstuffs I can find there. Reached Expo at around 8.15pm and made my way to the hall. It was fairly crowded but definitely not as bad as those PC shows. There are many stalls there promoting things like instant coffee, canned drinks, instant food, sauces, dried foodstuffs, dairy products, kimchi, etc. There were also some stalls selling cooked food like sharks fin soup, fried bee hoon, barbecued chicken wings, etc. There's a very pasar malam kind of feel to the whole event.
I walked around and sampled some stuff like biscuits, coffee, joices, instant noodles, etc, but I ddn't really find anything I really liked. In the end I bought some instant noodles from Hong Kong, which I though was quite good compared to Myojo or Maggi mee. The noodles are very thin and firm and I like the texture. The soup was above-average. The sales staff told me it costs $4 bucks for a pack of like, I think 5? Since they didn't sell them in packs, I bought a set which consists of various flavours for a discounted price of $10, still definitely more expensive than your average instant noodles. Also bought some dried fish crisp in 2 flavours - original and wasabi. I guess you can get the original flavoured ones from Malaysia where it's much cheaper, but I won't be going to Malaysia soon I think.
Besides the food, I also saw Mediacorp stars Nick Shen and Le Yao hosting a promotional show for a shark's fin company. Too bad I don't have a camera phone due to company policy. :(
There's a few cute girls doing promotions and I bought some carbonated drink from a very cute girl at the PH Sales and Marketing stall. It's sort of blueish, quite a nice color and I liked the taste too, think the name's I-plus or something.
