Taipei International Food Show 2008

The Taipei International Food Show (Food Taipei 2008), organized by TAITRA (Taiwan External Trade Development Council) is being held at the newly opened Taipei World Trade Center Nangang Exhibition Hall from June 18th to June 21st.



The 3-in-1 show along
with the Taipei International Food Machinery and Technology Show (FoodTech Taipei) and the Taipei International Packaging Industry Show (Taipei Pack) brings operators from the upper, middle, and downstream segments of the island's food industry to the show arena.


Indeed, relocating the 3-in-1 show to the newly opened mega-showground helped contribute to more enthusiastic participation in this year's trade event, the largest in Asia's food industry, with guests of yesterday's opening ceremony lauding the double-digit growth in participants.


Of note is the fact several countries are showcasing their best cuisines at this year's show by organizing national pavilions, all located at the Food Taipei show arena on the 4th floor of the Nangang hall.

Malaysian National Pavilion will be one of the most exciting places to visit during the Taipei International Food Show. Besides many quality Malaysian exhibitors providing food products and services, there are also cooking demonstrations of various traditional Malay dishes, and best of all, you can taste for yourself all the mouthwatering dishes freshly made at the booth.

In order to help local Taiwanese companies understand Halal products and services and how their overseas markets can be expanded through Halal certification, related information is available in the information booth of the Malaysian National Pavilion. Particularly on June 21, a Halal workshop will be held in conference room 502 inside the Nangkang Exhibition Hall by the renowned Halal Journal.

Sinouk Coffee - Café Gourmet Lao

I bought this Sinouk Pure Arabica Instant Coffee from THAIFEX - World of Food Asia 2008, Bangkok. I was just bored of Nescafé Gold and needed a change of taste. This one tastes different and even better and is made in Vientiane, Laos PDR. I bought this coffee for 200 Baht after they offered a free tasting glass of the Sinouk fresh ground coffee at the booth which tasted amazing.



On the front cover (pictured above) the print says Freeze-Dried Instant Coffee, Café Gourmet Lao, Sinouk Gold, Pure Arabica.



On the back cover (pictured above) it says Sinouk Café Lao with the address and a lot of text in the Laos language. It also has a picture of Mr. Sinouk Sisombat, President of the Lao Coffee Association with his quote "Do share my passion for quality coffee". From his name he appears to be the owner of Sinouk Coffee which is a competitor to "Dao Heuang Lao Coffee" another major coffee brand from Laos.

Since I tasted too much coffee that day I had to skip the Dao Huang Lao Coffee booth, and just found out recently that this brand seems more popular!

UFC Mocha Arabica Coffee

Just found this new canned coffee at 7-Eleven and grabbed one. I just cannot resist all the fruit juices by UFC, so thought of giving a shot at their coffee and see how it tastes.

I haven't been drinking much canned coffee for a while, maybe because I've heard people ask the following questions about coffee:



Can coffee cause headache?
Can coffee cause acne?
Can coffee help you lose weight?
Can coffee help you gain weight?
Can coffee make you fat?
Can coffee make you tired?
Can coffee make you sleepy?
Can coffee stunt growth?

and another dreaded one........... Can coffee kill you!?

Dim Sum and some ancient ice coffee

Tuesday evening stopped by at a restaurant opposite Seri Center on SriNakarin Road. Had to park the car behind the restaurant and enter from the back door! Anyway, ordered lots of Dim Sum and had some ancient ice coffee (kafe boran) which wasn't that good, just mediocre. The dim sum were really delicious costing 30 Baht each set. Also ate a plate of Khao Moo Daeng (Red pork rice). Missed the desert though, as I ate so much that it got me full for the next 5 hours or so.

A-Ha Coffee with a new look

A-Ha coffee has got a new outfit now, looks even better! The gold color has been replaced by yellow and the roasted coffee beans appear at the top of the package. The wordings appear clearer and the overall design is more eye-catching.

A-Ha Coffee, that's the way (aha aha) I like it


Been drinking this A-Ha brand coffee this entire week! It's a cappuccino + chocolate ready to drink cold coffee (200ml) which is quite tasty, I used to drink it months ago and stopped, and now I'm back at it once again. It's available at every 7-Eleven store! This one tastes unique.
Somebody please take them off the shelves so that I stop buying them, they're just irresistible!
