Within the fair's first hour, hungry office workers and families were thronging the food section, which boasts both local food and exotic nibbles from 15 countries.
At the bar area, servers were mixing up Singapore Slings and readying $5 cups of Tiger beer for visitors hoping to grab a lunchtime tipple.
Within hours of the opening, organisers reported that more than 100,000 food and beverage transactions had taken place, while on the electronics side, about 1,000 LCD and plasma TVs as well as 2,000 digital cameras were sold.
The show, which is open from 11am to 10pm today and tomorrow, saw about 50,000 visitors by 6pm on Friday. Admission is free.
