Industrial Visit

Today, I went to Gardenia factory @ Pandan Loop. It was fun la... When I first step into the building, the whole place is full of aroma of the breads. When I went inside after the video presentation, The whole place was warm !!! I can see the whole process going on from fermentation to dividing the dough to baking to slicing to packaging !!! I can see many workers are needed to oversee all these. According to them, 1 type of bread is made per day (no wonder sometimes I did not see some of the breads at the supermarkets). There are 30 varieties of bread made by Gardenia. I was like... OMG !!! that's alot of varities. What I amazed was the bread cooler, which is 4-storey high where 2000 loaves of bread are cooled in 1 hr !!! as well as the tunneling oven !!! (reminds me of Khong Guan Biscuit Factory) =) In the end, I bought a Gardenia truck souvenir, which costs $3.50 & we get 2 free Muesli buns (banana & choco and mixed berries flavours), which is damn tasty !!! Initially, I thought that I can buy some breads from the factory, but we can't coz of the big group of people from us go at the same time. In th end, I went to NTUC Fairprice to buy red bean buns & choco buns !!! Yummy !!!

Yeah, that's about it. Tmr, i'm going to ECP for swim & I'm waiting for Joon Kit's reply as in whether he can follow me or not since I'm going alone.But I really hope that he can make it. =)
