Started the day not being able to find Mr Paul but finally we did after he had to make a turn to find us at Eurolanka.
Breakfast: Fish sandwich from Perera & Sons
We visited a total of 4 customers today to end off our bakery visits before moving to Fortune product line tomorrow. These customers range from hotels to big and advanced manufacturers to Artisan bakeries.
First: Calton Distributor and Manufacturer
The owner atually pushed back his meetings to attend to us and there were like a whole team of Unilever salespersons waiting for him outside his office but he just ignored them and went to the factory site with us. Privileged but what was in my head was: WE GOT SO IMPT MEH?
And because he was with us to the factory, we skipped a lot of of administrative procedures to enter. And we sat in his luxury car. LOL
Some coconut tree climbing at the factory site. My mum used to do this too when she was young, I think! Those kampung life the city kids won't understand.
Pancake rolls which we got to try after that
Fish buns
Bread moulds with their names
Biscuits packing line
Industrial ovens
Some serious business talkings here. Not really. We were just posing for photos.
This is like oneh oneh. The fillings is exactly the same.
Second: Suriya Luxury Resort. SO BEAUTIFUL! Their poolide is attached to the beach. Mr Paul said he would request GM to put us here. I wish man! Wait long long. I would rush back to hotel after work everyday.
Third: Udaya Bakers who use firewood oven
Eat, eat , eat non-stop and grow fat. HAHAHA.
Lunch: Choy's special chopsuey and tomyum seafood soup. I was really too full until I cannot eat the chopsuey at all! We even ordered boiled chicken and vegetable.
Continued with our bakery visis
Fourth: Ranka Food House. Too full to eat anything
Whole day out and didn't go back to office after that because it was around 5pm (knock off time). TOO FULL to eat any dinner so I just cleared my bananas and the rambutans that Mr Paul bought for us so that I won't attract more ants when my room has a lot of them already.
Thank you Mr Paul and Manju, Negombo Distributor Sales Rep, for bringing us around today! It was good to be visiting Negombo as both a tourist (during our previous trip) and as a "salesperson". That marks the end of our attachment with the PMG Sales Operation.
