Day 18 + 19: Not really Competition + 2011 Bakery Fair

Day 18: Had a quick lunch at Eastwood to check out a place recommended to Nee. Not really our competition but it has a similar concept. Quite good - tasty and flavorful. Would definitely suit our market. Nee can't help but feel that their concept was 'borrowed' by a successful venture in L.A. Don't they say imitation is the greatest form of flattery? Teehee...

Day 19: As Nee is away frolicking in some part of Asia, I enlisted the company of my cousin to attend the 2011 Bakery Fair (http://www.bakeryfair.org/2011/) held at the World Trade Center. Mainly I wanted to check out the Food Safety seminar (thanks for the tip Ms. D!). Felt a bit overwhelmed by the number of exhibitors but merrily went home with a bag full of brochures for prospective suppliers ranging from kitchen equipment to printing companies. These will definitely come in handy as we further delve into the Planning phase.

Nee don't forget to bring home pasalubong for meeee!!!
