On arrival, the kids and teachers were greeted by High 5 bread town executive, who led them straight into the bread museum to watch a video on the history of bread-making. High 5 is the largest stand-alone baking plant in South-East Asia and the bread museum is also the first in Malaysia. From watching the video, the children learnt that the Egyptians were believed to be the first people to make bread some 5,000 years ago.
After the video screening, children moved on to the bread town for more interactive displays. Everyone also got to see the larger-than-life bread-making equipment like mixers and ovens. The fragrant smell of yeast and fresh bread straight from the oven permeated the factory. The highlight was definitely the suspended factory skywalk at a height of 293m above ground. The skywalk is built like a corridor passageway framed with glass allowing for an expansive view of the bread-making process. The children saw how the dough was first mixed before it went into the divider and rounder (to shape the dough), right down to dough riser and fermentation, the cooling tower, slicing process, and lastly packaged through automated state-of-the-art technology. About 8,000 loaves of bread and some 10,000 cream rolls were produced an hour.
After the visit to High 5 Bread Town, the kids also visited a nearby museum.
