nonya cake.

After starting to sell some of the dessert, i have started to make some sweet potato durian oneh oneh and started to have a group of customer that really like this treat. I have even started to make some new cake such as durian tapioca cake, baked caramelized tapioca cake, which i was able to sell off. I do hope this could sustained as this has become one part of my weekend income that enable me to cover my expenses.

Radio 1003

Managed to get a broadcasting over the Radio FM1003 on last friday morning in the segment "Mana Pergi". This is the segment where listener could called in and recommend a shop or stall where they found it worth while to recommend it to the other listener. The DJ Wen Hong, Li Mei and Jian Wen was kind enough to let me recommend my stall and my food. I have recommended Buah Keluak Babi,Red Curry Chicken and Green curry pork. Once after the radio broadcasting i got the first customer, coming to my stall to try my food at 11:15 that very day, and he came over 3 consecutive day and Sunday he brought the whole family to join him, i was very touch by his action.  Some of the listener do identified themselves but i guess some did not. Thanks to those who came over to give the support to me and talking to a few know that some came a long way such as from paris ris, bedok, bukit pangjang etc.

Guess media do play an important part in doing business, the dessert stall that appear in the TV show have a fair share of attention where you will see long queue for the dessert, well do hope one day i would be getting this kind of queue for eating at my stall.

Peranakan Food Fair-Actual Day

It was a busy weekend on Saturday and Sunday reason need to prepare food for both the fair as well as food for the stall. Had prepare extra portion of sweet potato durian oneh oneh to be sold at the fair, having an impression that people would like to have finger food while walking around. Lucky for our stall we manage to finish our durian oneh oneh as guess that was something special that you see in the market. Food wise was not too bad as well.  The show have also educate the visitors about the different dishes such as buah keluak and Babi ponteh and even have cooking demonstration teaching them how the two dishes was made. As this may have created some interest in trying out this dishes.

There are stage performance, food and craft for the visitor, as deciding in participating in such a fair was not a wrong one. Thanks to my sister, brother in law and brother in tending the stall for both days. I have also distributed quite a bit of my card and hoping those who had like my food would really find the way to the stall.

Peranakan Food fair

Taken a stall at SMU for the peranakan fair, thanks to glann who relate this message to me when he saw it in the classified. Think this would be a chance for me to sell my stall to more people hopping that would come in and look for my stall. We will be serving some of the food that i served at the stall such as curry chicken, buah keluak, babi pongtay,ayam sio and the sweet potato durian oneh oneh. Hopping this new flavor will attract some attention. Well if you have the time do visit us at the craft and food section on 28 and 29 Nov 09.

Rainy day

Rainy day for some of us will be flavored day as it will be a nice time to sleep, for me it seem to be the worst day, as it is more difficult to travel to open the stall and sale for the day will be falling into the drain. This particular food center or market that the stall is in, is a very unique block as it don't have a block number to it. The market is surrounded by three other block so for stranger to this area might have difficulty in locating the market.  There are not connecting shelter from the surrounding three block. From the main road there are also no connecting shelter as well. As this is a aged district where there are a lot of elderly around, why they don't have a shelter for them so that they could travel around even in the raining season and don't have to get wet, which could cause them a bomb if they happened to get sick. Well had read the paper indicating that the raining season will still continue to the month of January. If this still goes on, don't know how the business is going to survive.

Today Special

My sister brought for me a white board, she see that i have been creating impromptu items such as the durian sego,durian cheese swiss roll as mention in the dessert posting. The white board is for me to write these impromptu items so that customer can see what i have to offer and don't have to really ask every single customer. Today i have made beef rendang lasagna for my today special menu, two of my very supporting customer come back for it, after i have mentioned to them that i will be having that. One of the customer who had never taken lasagna before also find it nice and tasty. Another one requested that i made chicken one as she and the family don't take beef but do love lasagna, since there is such request will made lasagna chicken the next round.
