I was involved with the Cultural Day 2 weeks ago organized by the Islamic School of Greater Kansas City. My fellow Malaysian sisters volunteered to set up a booth, basically displaying stuffs from Malaysia and I made some traditional desserts for samples.
Since we expected many people to come to the free-admission event, we assumed that the event would be in a huge hall at the community center and we would get a big display table. But when Amin and I got there, we were so overwhelming with the setting and the crowd. Yupp they got a big hall, but the display booths were set at a narrow corridor while the big hall was used for people to watch the stage performance.
I was so frustrated with the setting. There was no room for people to stop by the booth, and it was hard for us to answer their questions. It was like at 'pasar' in Msia.
The only good thing was that lotsa Malaysians showed up at the event. It was like a small gathering for us :) Also, all the display tables were beautifully decorated for the occasion. Bravo to the volunteers!

Kuih I made for samples: karipap, kuih bakar pandan and kuih rengas.
