Multicultural Food Day

On Friday, Sulli students were able to enjoy a little variety of food for Multicultural Food Day. I, myself, was helping sell food and was happy to see people happily buy food and then come back only minutes later to buy more. It was a fun time and fast paced, but to those who didn't really try the food, how good was it really?
In the newspaper's debut, I'll talk about the food that was here that fine Friday! I'll describe how much it cost, how popular it was (not popular, semi-popular, popular, very popular) and tell you whether or not you should buy some when next year rolls around!

Cream Puffs

Origin: France
Cost: 4 puffs for $1
Popularity: Popular

You see... I wanted to take a picture of the ones that I bought, but I ate them. Don't look at me like that! What can I say? They're cream puffs! CREAM PUFFS. In other words, the tiny pastry of temptation and fantastic-ness! When you bought them from the table, they were nice and cold. The cream inside them, vanilla flavoured, was a bit frozen though. Personally I like that, but a few people don't like biting into cold ice-cream. But in spite of that, boy were they were selling! But honestly, $1 for four of these delightful goodies? Sounds pretty good to me! In fact, in the 30-45 minutes that I was there, we went through 2 boxes of cream puffs! (That's 220 cream puffs!) My verdict, buy them! Buy them while you can! (And if you could, give me some please!)

Polvoron

Origin: The Philippines
Cost: 2 candies for $0.25
Popularity: Semi-popular

Being Filipino, I totally flipped out when I saw this. This candy is really popular for the people who know them and love them, but unfortunately the little milk-powder treat didn't get that much love here at Sulli. I think the problem is that people don't know the snack as much as people who've grown up with it. Its really good though! The yellow one is original flavour and the red is cookies and cream. I grew up with this stuff, so I find it delicious and amazing. But everyone else didn't see it in the same light. I was surprised though, if you can buy 2 for only a quarter, what have you got to lose? Still, we were able to finish one out of the two boxes, which is still good! My verdict is a buy! Buy it and try it! It's really good, honest!

Samosa

Origin: South Asian/South-East Asian countries (no specified country)
Cost: 1 for $1
          2 for $1.50
Popularity: Very popular

Holy snap, these things were selling like crazy! One bite, and your hooked! I was constantly seeing people buy four of these badboys and come back 5 minutes later for another batch! It was a bit spicy, but it was just right for those who wanted to try this popular item! And the tables were serving hot sauce to those wanting a bit more heat! When I was helping Student Council sell this; I swear I'm not joking, I saw Mr. Vaughn carry a whole box back to the PE office! They're THAT good! My verdict is this...

I hope this encourages all of you to participate in next year's Multicultural Week! Have a great day!
