Wow... it was awesome at the Brunei 5th IHPex 2010! Alot is going on. Very grand and happening! There were so many exhibition to look at, alot of things to see (and buy!) and alot of food to sample. I think people love these food samplings. Make sure to come with empty stomach. There were not only food, there were free drinks too, lol. The expo attracted so many people and were joined by some other 10 countries around the world so there were really alot to digest. We were there amongst the crowd on saturday and ended up spending almost 3 hours. Well.. lets the pictures do the talking lah.
The stage where the launching took place by His Majesty the Sultan of Brunei at the International Convention Centre (ICC).
The Brunei very own halal logo.
Em... not really tie in with the label of halal but anyway, its good to see all these new technology Plasma/LED and LCD tv.
This is me trying the Samsung 3D tv, forgot how much it cost but it came with 2 3D glasses.
Some of the exhibits.
Perfume.
At the inside stage, we stumbled upon celebrity Chef - Bobby Chin of World Cafe Asia from channel Travel and Living. I knew he was there for some cooking demonstrations yesterday but I didnt know he was still here. No cooking when we were there but he was signing off autographs to his fans, where there seemed to be alot of them. I am not going to disturb, hehe.
Look at him engrossed and entertained all his female star struck fans!
I was browsing through Bobby Chin book, they were for sale, I didnt buy it though. It cost B$33.00 each.
Interesting mini road sign inside the ICC.
Very nice local made biscuits for sale.
Its hubby turn engrossed on Halal Review magazine.
These were Yemeni selling honey. We tried one they offered and it hurt my throat. Didnt know some honey was really hot (pedas). We noticed one of the honey glass jar were sold for married couples only! LOL.
A sales person from Singapore selling brown rice porriage. We didnt buy this but we bought their Brown Rice tea which is supposed to give benefits like reduce migrane, high blood, uninterrupted sleep and so on.
Outside the gallery, the flowers and plants caught my eyes. They were really pretty.
Look at this lovely flowers. 
The most famous products from Malaysia, the Keropok Lekor. There were abundance of them, just lay there in the open. Make me wonder what happen when its time to close at night. Do they leave them just like that, cover them or put them back in the boxes? I hope its the latter, imagine if they just leave them like that, with all the rats or coachroaches wondering around at night, yuck! Didnt buy these!
A big crowd gathered at Indonesia stall where they made prawn crackers from a special machine.
On another part of the ICC, there was a pavilion from Thailand, they occupied a big area with so many items for sale, all from Thailand.
This young lady was amongst the talented lads and lasses from Thailand, their jobs during the exhibitions were to show their talent on how to engrave different fruits to other beautiful creations.
I was looking at some pretty slippers.
One of the Thai Muslim girl at the Thai Pavilion. Love the dress!
Well, after spending always 3 hours at the expo, we went home and these were the things/food that we have bought! Didnt realise it was really alot.
At at the Brunei Halal Cooking from the Heart booth, we got free aprons which were really nice.
