FHM 2007-Culinaire Malaysia 2007 Pt. 1

In conjunction with the Merdeka post, here is another Malaysian event. I was fortunate enough to drop by KLCC Convention Centre last Thursday for FHM (Food&Hotel Malaysia) 2007 as I have not been to one before. Held every 2 years, FHM 2007 (22 August - 25 August) showcased food/drinks, service equipment, supplies and related technology etc. All three levels of the hall were filled with over 600 international and local exhibitors and it was definitely a nicer experience for me (as compared to going to the same place for PC Fair! Hahaha...). Of course, there were lots of drinks and food sampling, I guess this is why the show is not open to the public but only to those from the food industry. I could have spent the whole day here as there were so many things to see and food/drinks to taste. Anyway, here are the photos (mainly food shots!)...

Wa ha ha, you are there too.
I visit FHM 2007 on Friday afternoon, about 2 hours just able to have a quick look on Culinaire Malaysia.
Then I make a personal trip again the next day, using my "working permit" and i almost spend half a day there. ha ha~
Anyway, I regret for not able to attend everyday as the competition are very from day to day.
Saturday's exhibition not that interesting, some stores already close shop. And, i dun have the chance to try the Gelato Ice Cream!
I would like to learn the way you take those photos, looks great. My one very "flat".

joe : I was actually working "part time" for someone who is a restaurateur, so I went in legally per se!

NKOTB : There were a few exhibits that didn't allow us to take photos but most did. A lot of us went in with cameras. It was great be able to take photos.

Judy : Nah, here's a tissue... :o)

tigerfish : Yah, it does look like a lion head from the lion dance. I like the green colour, hence I chose that as compared to the rest.

Jackson : Non stop food sampling and you still say NOT FAIR??? I definitely didn't have any non stop food sampling leh...

firehorse : Haha...anything to be in my shoes??? Mmmm....let me think. LOL
