It was a sun-kissed day at Warren Golf & Country Club Family Day. The theme this year was Food Fiesta and over 800 visitors were expected. We set up our booth at about 10 in the morning amidst over 30 other food-related stalls. Every booth had something yummy to offer and it was hard to resist eating.
The crowd slowly trickled in and only flooded in around 3pm. In the meantime, we took a walk around, made friends with neighbouring booths in an attempt to check out the competition.
Mid-afternoon came and even the crowd seemed pretty small. We really hope that the organisers will focus on inviting more visitors on top of getting food vendors.
Just four booths away laid a Turkish ice-cream vendor that arrived late in the afternoon. Our dear Adelene was finding it very challenging to resist the call of nice cold ice-cream amidst the hot afternoon. As she waited for her ice-cream, the Turkish ice-cream man bedazzled her with some tricks. Unfortunately, her anticipation was dampened by tasteless goat ice-cream. Luckily, she had our Fruitty Satay to top her ice-cream with and managed to finish the ice-cream. We thought that Turkish ice-cream was pretty bad but it could be just this one.
Soon after, Joycelyn from Gone Fishing cafe dropped by to lend us a hand and support.
Overall, we did not make much sales but we learnt alot. We will be applying this to our next flea market and hope to increase our sales.
Our luck temporarily turned when Delcie won a $50 cash voucher from their lucky draw! However, amidst the excitement, she forgot to collect her Identity Card and had to drive all the way back on a Sunday night to retrieve it.
What we sold on site:
Kid loves our Fruitty Satay!
This is our Malay neighbour who offered more than 30 varieties of traditional yummy-looking malay kueh that were selling like hot cakes! So finally until 5pm, we decided that we couldn’t resist the temptation any more and decided to try a few. We felt that it could have tasted better. I wished she put in more filling in her kueh; maybe they might have tasted better.
Cheers,
