Over 330 suppliers from Australia, the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong, Korea, Taiwan and the United States showcase their latest products. In addition to the trade buyers, the Expo is a magnet for foodies, attracting over 300,000 visitors. Everything from beer and Chinese tea to ginseng, noodles & pasta can be sampled and scrutinised.
Visitors looking for a few tips on how to incorporate new products and ideas into their cooking need look no further than the gourmet and celebrity chefs' cooking demonstrations.
