The premium Food&HotelAsia2016 (FHA2016) regional trade event featured a wide variety of foods that are ideal for office pantries at the FoodAsia halls and Halal Supermarket zone:
 |
| One of the more interesting displays was from Camel, which produces snacks like nuts and dried fruit. The booth had a camel statue standing on a bed of its snacks welcoming visitors. Rival Tong Garden was also at the show. |
 |
| Goh Tiong Wee, head of Nuhoney, holds up a can of the sparkling honey beverage of the same name. Nuhoney is made in Singapore from Australian honey and was developed in conjunction with Singapore Polytechnic's Food Innovation & Resource Centre. The centre's services include developing functional foods, natural alternatives for food additives, reformulating foods to reduce fat, salt and sugar, process optimisation as well as sample preparation at trade shows and business events. |

| Omni Mal Agencies sells dates and date products in handy, hygienic packaging. The company offers organic dates, dates with cornflakes, date syrup, and dates coated with black cumin seed oil as some of its innovations. The Malaysia-based agency also exports around the world. |

| MyBizcuit is from Malaysia. The company launched golden cheese tart and choco peanut bar snacks in value packs at the show. The snacks will soon be available as convi packs, in the golden cheese tart (Golden), peanut crunchy bar (Peanut), Belgium choco (Bellco) and melting almond (Almento) flavours. Also new were Mas Bear Danish cookies in a tin that are packaged in a gift box. |

| Kayamila, which also had space at the Halal Supermarket outside the hall, features traditional kaya - a sweet coconut milk based paste eaten with bread - in different flavours. From kaya expert Fong Yit, the Kayamila brand was developed in response to changing consumer demand. “In recent years, consumers have become more adventurous and creative, trying non-conventional ideas for their food choices. We have seen traditional breakfast spreads turned into ingredients for everything from baking desserts to cooking a main course. Kaya has to evolve too, and Kayamila is taking that first step," said Goh May San, Marketing and Research Manager for Fong Yit, at the launch of the brand in February. Kayamila is available in the original flavour, called Original Coconut Kaya (a rebrand from XO Kaya; left), as well as Sea Salt Caramel (second from left), Vanilla Pandan (third from left) and Calamansi Citrus (fourth from left). Kayamila products contain no preservatives and artificial colouring. The products are retailing at S$3.50 each and are available at Fairprice, Sheng Siong and Prime supermarkets from April 2016 onwards. |

| Litat Import & Export featured jams and spreads as well as beverages. The company is best known for its Ice Cool range beverages, which range from coffees, energy drinks, carbonated beverages, aloe vera juice in different flavours, sports drinks, milkshakes, coconut juice in different formulations, fruit juices, soluble fibre drinks, as well as soya milk. Ice Cool Asian specialty drinks range from wheat grass and traditional herbal tea, to wintermelon tea and bandung (rose-flavoured milk). |

| Sealed, ready to eat cups of corn may soon be in NTUC supermarkets and Cheers convenience stores in Singapore, said a spokesperson at the CS Tay booth. The corn, from Thailand, keeps for two years in cool conditions. The packaging has an easy-open lid and a built-in spoon, so consumers can eat the corn straight from the cup if they wish. |
