Bengkulu Culinary Festival
October 27, 2018Forgive me because have not posted anything on this blog for a long time. I have problems with the network here. But, I keep writing and traveling. Then you’ll say “Who cares?” Okay, thank you. Well, this time I'll tell you about the experience to an event (again).
Well, hi peeps! Welcome.
Not
long after the Tabut festival, Bengkulu held another interesting event.
Culinary Festival. Indeed, this is not a new thing for me personally, while
living in search of knowledge in the city of Bandung, I have come to similar
events several times. However, what makes this different is, because this was
held in the city of Bengkulu which as far as I know has never held such an
event like that before. Or, maybe I'm not updating the information about that.
The
event itself was held on Saturday, 29th of September in an area known as
Kampung China (Chinese Town). From the afternoon, traders have flocked to fill
their respective spots. Some faces were very enthusiastic in welcoming
prospective buyers, and some decorated their hawker carts with various themes
to attract buyers. So it is not uncommon for prospective buyers to ask
permission to take pictures on the seller's cart.
Not
only the process of buying and selling food and beverages, the event was
consist of various interesting things, such as local film screening, the
availability of an art stage for those who wanted to show off or just introduce
themselves and their respective art communities, until finally the fireworks
show made the event more interesting.
“What
time is it?” Maybe that can represent the moment at that time. Because, time is
running very fast, and the visitors looked very happy and enjoyed the series of
events that have been designed by the committee. Until finally one by one the
food and beverages were sold out, and the series of events were carried out one
by one.
Overall,
in my personal opinion, there are still many things that must be improved,
especially on certain aspects. Like the types of food and drinks that are
presented, I mean, they just tend to be food and drinks that are usually sold
on normal days. The availability of trash bins, of course because it is a
culinary festival so it should be clean and tidy to make us comfort while enjoying
the food. Then, the less conceptual series of events, the youth must be more
creative in concepting the event.
However,
as a first step, it will be an experience to make the reference to the next
event even better. As a result, visitors will feel happy, and can bring more
visitors from various regions. I can say that, because I saw enthusiasm and
atmosphere there. Moreover, it is reinforced by the opinions of the people (The
sellers and buyers) there when I interviewed.***
