Event: Bazaar Ramadan kedua di Dubai on 12th September.
Modal: Ingredients paid for by urs truly, hard work at the kitchen with lots of motherly love by LiL, enthusiastic help from Luqman, Haziq, Amirul and Angah!
Menu: Asam pedas, kuih muih.
Profit Benefits : Lots of fun and joy being part of a small community of Malaysians preparing foods for Malaysians - home away from home!
Time together with childen doing something we don't normally do - Buat Business!!
For a brief moments my childen appreciated how difficult it is to earn money!
Last night, post the Bazaar Ramadan and while driving to a supermarket, I asked my children what they thought of the day's venture?
Their replies....

Luqman, "It was fun! I want to do it again....but, not during hot day like today!"

Amirul, "Quite embarassing when there was no customers....but was very happy when almost everything was sold in the end."

Haziq, "Too much hard work!! I prefer to be a photographer!"

Angah, "Penat tapi seronok!!"

They did well, not only at the stall but also at home by helping with the preparation.

Our deal was that they got to keep the profits....as it turned out, I hope they will keep the exprience and the joy of it all. There were not much financial gain at all...hehehe!

But at the supermarket last night, I did reward them with Baskin Robin ice-cream!

cantik rumah tuan CG siap ada swimming pool menyejukkan pemandangan.

sempat berposing dengan Mr Fnd! The cowboy hat is very functional in the summer heat! Baju sama biru, menu lain2! hehehe.pic from Din.

The second Bazaar was as Meriah as the first one. There were definitely more stalls and also more foods! Malaysians did not just visited the Bazaar for foods but also for meeting and catching up with friends. Many were seen mixing and socializing long after the buying were done. As one of the organizers, it was satisfying to see happiness on peoples' faces.
please also read the story told by Imeirda, here.
Pictures tell more accurate stories than words.....

  1. He he, gambar tu masa angkat tong kosong selepas berjualan kira2 45 min. Pasal tu tersenyum riang walau angkat tong sorang2.

    It was a good experience. Ramai rakan2 Malaysia hadir pada hari tu. Tak menang tangan.

    Terima kasih kepada yg sudi hadir dan sudi membeli dan bertanya khabar. Terima Kasih juga pada tuan CG yg sudah berkira2 nak sewakan tapak pada Bazaar Ramadhan tahun depan. ;). Dan tak lupa yg berusaha keras, PP, yang turut berjual bersama anak2. Tak tahan tengok orang lain kira duit pada bazaar yg pertama saya kira.

  14. Salam Pak Payne,
    Pertama, Selamat Menyambut Ramadan untuk anda sekeluarga
    Kedua, Mohon maaf kerana tidak berkesempatan bertemu sewaktu di Kuala Lumpur tempoh hari.

    Dan ketiga, seronok sekali suasana bazaar ramadan di sana. Pembelinya datang dari Malaysia saja ker?
