SOUNDBITE 1 (Cantonese): POON KUEN FAI, Exhibitor
"More exhibitors participating in Food Expo will bring a good atmosphere and encouragement to the industry, and everyone is happy. As traders, we should be patient in our business. Like cooking, cooking on low flame can produce delicious dishes. With a controlled 'flame,' I believe we will achieve our goal at the end of the year."
 
SOUNDBITE 2 (Cantonese): TERRY LAU, Exhibitor
"This year, we collaborated with Disneyland to design a mooncake container. It is not only a mooncake container, but also a lantern with an on/off button. We hope to let more people know about us through Food Expo and buy our products at favorable prices."
 
Exhibitors said that they will offer favorable prices and new products to attract customers, and they feel confident in the business.
