For the very first tour of 2018, Hai Sia hosted ST Aerospace on 13 January 2018. The rain definitely did not dampen the enthusiasm and spirits of this fun-loving group who came armed with substantial knowledge of seafood. They were particularly excited to visit the Central Fish Market, and seeing that this tour is close to Chinese New Year, some took the chance to purchase the White Rabbit fish straight from the market. It was heartening to host such an excellent group, and the Hai Sia tour continues rain or shine!
