Most of d8’s regular customer were asking for the company’s Royal BBQ. However, the Honey Fried Products were really a GOOD SELLING. The d8’s exclusive recipe is always the same, it is only the way it is prepared and cooked which differentiates. D8’s Chilli Fried Rice became a HIT too.

All products were sold and cleared just before 11.00AM. The sales went so good. D8 finished operated at 11.15AM and pack up everything.

The camp was set early in the morning and d8 started business as early as 8.30AM. During the launching last time, the Guest of Honour who was actually the owner and founder of Nusa Laila Primary School offered to send a number of his pupils to visit our booth during our next business operation which was on that day (20/08/2008).

Ice Cream.

As usual, d8’s main menu; the BBQ food was the TOP SELLING again. The chicken tail was the new menu listed and d8 only offerred a small, limited quantity that day. The cocktail drink was also a HIT, a GREAT treat for every buyers. A very last minute innovative strategy was made by Nawi when d8 were facing customers from Nusa Laila. Apart from just selling ice cream, he also suggested to combine the cocktail with a scoop of ice cream and the new product was a BOMB. The pupils really love it. Even some teenagers and adult buyers bought the cocktail extra ice cream drink.

After 11.45AM, d8 reduced the remaining products’ price to 50c (except for crispy chocolate cake). The remaining product were the noodles. D8 also figured out to attract customers to buy by marketing it ‘Buy one, Free one’ and ‘Couple Noodle, One for You and One for your Beloved’.
