Eat, Laugh, Share 2.0 Food Sales

The Eat, Laugh, Share 2.0 Food Sales of SCSC Sunway University is back! If you happened to pass by the Energy Hub of Sunway University and wondered what was it that smells so good and makes you drool, that must be us! On the 17th September 2013, we SCSC had our one day food sale at Energy Hub from 10am to 5pm. The food that were on sales included cookies, satay, sushi roll, banana chocolate sandwich and our best seller, FRIED ICE-CREAM.

The SCSC minions (becuase we're all in yellow shirt) stand by by 8am and start working hard and getting ready for the food sales. We were to set up the venue by ourselves. All thanks to our members who are gym regulars, we got our table set up in less than 30 minutes. We pay extra attention on hygiene by making sure that everyone has gloves on and clean all the tables and equipments before we use them. We don't want anyone got stomach ache after having our food! Members who in charged of the food were like the participants in Master Chef, being so passionate and serious about their task! Hmm, guess there was a competition happening secretly among the members who in charged of the food! Which team will come up with the best sales?

If you were there, we bet you will love the fried ice-cream as it was SOLD OUT in less than 2 hours. Who doesn't love ice-cream especially when it was covered by a crispy crust outside and when you bite it, the ice-cream melts immediately in your mouth! You heard you, there will definitely be extra supply of the fried ice-cream in our upcoming food sales! 

 We hope you find our new coupon system that we just implemented in this food sales much more better than what we did last time. You may found our system a little bit out of usual but we would like to thank you for your corporation. By making payment at the cashier first and get a coupon to be redeem at the food preparation helps us to be more systematic and able to serve all of you promptly!

There is one thing that we would like to admit, SCSC loves to take photos! So sorry for bombarding you all with our endless group photos because the members will complaint if they don't see their photos up in the blog. In a way, all these photos were memories of all the fun time we had. If you want to be part of us, stay tuned to our facebook page for recruitment announcement!

 Once again, SCSC would like thank all of you that supported us in the food sales. We will try our best to improve our recipe for the next food sales and we sincerely hope you will support us throughout! For those who missed the fun, fret not because there will be another food sales coming up soon so stay tuned!

Overall, all the companies welcomed us with open arms and led us to the discussion halls, meeting rooms and so on for the various briefing sessions. The speakers from each company gave a heap full of useful information and knowledge about their individual companies. After which, the floor was open to students to ask questions. Some light refreshments were given by a few of the companies to fill the student’s hungry tummies. Throughout this series, many students were required to fill in M100 surveys conducted by GTI Media. We presented each individual companies with a basket of fruits as token of appreciation after the survey was done.

The staffs in-charge gave us a tour around each office where we could examine the surroundings and see other staffs members doing their work. Participants were amazed about the atmosphere and the surroundings of the companies where they took a lot of pictures and some even asked questions along the way. Time was a big constraint to us, therefore some tours had to be cut short. With that, we ended our IV Series 2013.

In a nutshell, the objective of this series was to acknowledge Sunway students about the business world and provide them with the opportunity to gain insight knowledge of the various companies, at the same time creating awareness about SCSC club. Majority of the participants gave many positive feedbacks and the negative feedbacks will be reference to improve our next industrial visit series. To all the companies that we visited, SCSC club would like to once again say thank you for this delightful and yet knowledgeable event and we hope that we will have the opportunity to visit again in the future.

Food Sales

On the 24^th of April 2013, SCSC held a one-day food sales. The food sales was held at the Energy Hub from 10:00 am till 4:00 pm. The food items sold were all home-made which consist of sushi, fried ice-cream, konnyaku jelly, chocolate chip pecan cookies and 2 types of cakes, biscuit crusted cake and chocolate chip walnut cake. 

All the members of the committee members participated in this event where some of the members were in charge of different food items.

Tables and chairs were carried and moved to the Energy Hub the day before hand by all the muscular guys namely Jeff, Huan Xiang, Gui Sheng, Kae Shen, John whereas the board was decorated by the talented artists Crystal, Shang Ping and Caryn.

On the day of the food sales, members who are staying in the hostel, Huan Xiang and Jeff were asked to come to the campus by 8:00 am to help out to carry the food items from the car to the booth and to the fridge. Other members slowly arrived one by one to get ready for the big day ahead. While waiting for the other members to arrive, Ashley and Gui Sheng were busy preparing and rolling the sushi behind the board.

Making sushi

Due to the efficient team work of displaying food items and preparing boxes for cakes, we were all prepared before the opening time. At 10 am sharp, we started our food sales with a cashier and recorder for each session which was appointed the day before. The food sales started out a little slow as it was still early. However, it picked up pas when lunch time was arriving. 

In the process of the food sales, many of the committee members took turns to walk around to sell the food items in the lecturers’ office, the AUP office and the students around the campus.

The hot selling items for the day were our special fried ice-cream and sushi. The fried ice-cream was sold out in the first 2 hours and customers came back for more even after it was sold out. They were very sad to find out that it was all sold out. Sushi was such a hit that we had to cook three batches of rice on campus to fulfil the taste buds of the customers. Customers gave very good comments on the sushi such as it was unique and delicious due to our special prawn paste included. Some also suggested us to put more mayonnaise as it was not enough. The cookies also got much attention from customers and they commented that it was very delicious. The rest of the items slowly picked up pace. We managed to end our sales by 3:30 pm after everything was sold out before the expected time.

Throughout the food sales this semester, we learned many lessons where we now know that the role of a cashier and a recorder is extremely important both to us and also the customers in order to be more organised. All the members had a wonderful and enjoyable time although we had a little trouble throughout the whole day.

Some of us even mingle around and we even have our talented members to entertaining the old folks as well. Also a special thanks to the lectures who have donated rations to the old folks, without the tremendous support from them the event won’t be a huge success as it seems. 

Most of us had accomplished this task successfully and enjoyed spending our time with the old folks. 

After seeing the smiles glued on the folks, it shows our efforts didn’t actually go to waste!!
