[media invite] Café Asia 2022, International Coffee & Tea Industry Expo 2022 (ICT Expo 2022), Sweets & Bakes Asia 2022 and Restaurant Asia 2022

The Café Asia 2022, International Coffee & Tea Industry Expo 2022 (ICT Expo 2022), Sweets & Bakes Asia 2022 and Restaurant Asia 2022 were held over a span of 3 days at the Marina Bay Sands Singapore Expo & Convention Centre.

Check out this Next-Gen Ripple Maker II by ripples and Print & Digital Media! This machine can literally turn any foam-based drinks such as beer or coffee into a customized drink through printed designs, images and messages that can be personalized in real-time. 

Both Jasmine and I did a live testing of the machine as we tried to print a selfie that we had taken on the spot on to the coffee foam and it turned out pretty well! In just seconds, our selfie was nicely imprinted on the drink.

One of the highlights of this event was the Hawkers’ showcase which was the government’s initiative to promote hawker entrepreneurship and to encourage young Singaporeans to join the industry in order to help sustain Singapore's colorful hawker culture.

There was also an additional section within the exhibition, whereby there was a 'Hawker Street' that showcased some of the different Hawkers that were available.

We tried some yummy skewers from Volk, which was recently awarded the Promising New Hawker Award. Their skewers bowl comes in four different forms, with sushi rice, brown rice, salad or soba. I was so ready to go down to their stall to try them out.... until I learnt that they are located at Taman Jurong Food Centre OMG! It is too far from me, luckily, they do offer delivery with a minimum of spending!

There was a relatively small crowd formed at the next booth. We tested the local favorite, Fried Carrot Cake from Tian Kee. OMG! There were no regrets trying this as it tasted awesomely delicious! Tian Kee is located at Marine Parade Central, and apart from selling Fried Carrot Cake, they also offer Fried Hokkien Mee and even Fried Oyster Egg.

Do check out the DA-SH Sparkling Water with 0% sugar and 0% calories that comes in 4 different flavors - Peach, Cucumber, Lemon and Raspberries. 

We both chose Peach flavor to try it at home, as it was our favorite. Before leaving their booth, we took a photo together at their photo-wall. 

We came to the Korean Pavilion, where we got to try some of their specialty cocoa and chocolates. The products are made in Korea!

We were also provided with 2 cans of Organic Energy Drinks from DARK DOG for a taste test. They are one of the best energy drinks and are distributed in more than 30 countries worldwide. They were created in Austria in 1995 and launched in 2000, and each can of drink is high in Antioxidant and Vitamin C.

Lastly, we visited OAT-LY before leaving the exhibition, and the friendly staff from OAT-LY welcomed us with a cup of Oat-Milk Coffee and ice-cream. I tried the Hazelnut flavored Coffee, and both of us loved the Oat-Milk ice cream. 

We were lucky to be the first few to try it out as it's not out in the market yet! Thanks for the pack of OAT DRINK CHOCOLATE (Totally vegan)! 

We took some random photos at the OAT-LY booth photo-wall. 

Thanks for all the lovely samples and try-out from the exhibitors that were present at the show. 

Lastly, thanks for the invite and I look forward to the next edition!
