The “32nd Food Expo” will be held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center for 5 consecutive days from today. During the period, there will also be a home appliance expo, a beauty and health life expo, and a tea expo. However, due to the epidemic, no food tasting arrangements will be provided on site. Before the opening, there were already many citizens and elders queuing to enter the venue. The first citizen said that this Monday (8th) has begun to queue overnight. The goal is to win 150 cans of ready-to-eat abalone. The last event was won by 2 ladies; Many citizens brought shopping carts with them and budgeted to spend more than HK$1,000 to buy moon cakes and other food to prepare for the festival.
The exhibition officially opened at 10:00, and a group of people who had been waiting in line for a long time quickly entered the venue and walked to the favorite booth. Mr. Liang, who was in the front row of the line, said that he would come to the food fair every year, because exhibitors will offer a lot of discounts, and some products are not available outside, so he will pay special attention to the “1 mosquito discount”. Liang also said that because there are consumer coupons, there will be “hands loose”. But this year, there will be no trial food. Leung also thinks that he will be a little disappointed. He feels that the difference is a little bit, and he will think less about buying new products.
Jacky, who was in line to buy a mosquito health food, came to the line at 8:00 this morning. He complained about the arrangement of queuing to enter the exhibition hall. He believed that the queuing position was going around, which was worse than other exhibition arrangements. He said that he didn’t have a good heart yet, and he would tour the venue for a week to see if he had any heart.
Some exhibitors hold the “Abalone as a Bottle” event. The first 10 people present can participate. Every two people form a team. Put 50 abalone models into the basketball hoop at the earliest, and you can get 300 cans of ready-to-eat abalone; Even if they lose the game, each person will receive 50 cans of ready-to-eat abalone as a consolation prize. In terms of rush-buying for a mosquito, the instant chicken pot brand launched a chicken pot with a mosquito and abalone, which is limited to 10 pieces at 1:00 p.m. every day for the public to snap up.
