Thanks to the wonderful invitation, I recently took part in the “388 Eggmonium” campaign by Avenue K in conjunction with the 2017 World Egg Day. Featuring a total of 388 egg sculptures nestling the Ground Floor Atrium at Avenue K as well as other prominent and unique locations around the mall, the campaign is aimed to highlight the benefits and values of eggs which offers affordable source of high quality protein with the potential to feed the world.
Measuring 1 foot to 3 feet, each of the 388 extraordinary sculptures were individually designed and painted by students from the Art & Design schools including Saito University College, Malaysian Institute of Art (MIA), Linton University College, Raffles College, and Dasein Academy of Art, the mall management team, tenants, artist and invited media friends.
Exclusively for shoppers on the weekends, limited 1 foot egg sculpture redemptions are available at the Information Counter, Ground Floor with a minimum spending of RM388 (RM300 for AK Neighbours Card member) in a maximum of 2 combined receipts at any AK Stores on the same day to redeem a 1 foot egg sculpture.
A truly unique experience for shoppers visiting Avenue K, the egg installation is the first of a series of events planned in the shopping mall, as part of a 3 week-long showcase starting from 7 September to 1 October 2017. Together with other fun activities such as Premia Eggs showcase and daily egg tasting, exceptional cooking, baking and food art workshops, “388 Eggmonium” celebrates the beauty, nutritional value, and many different aspects of eggs. To further highlight, there will also be cooking demonstrations by chefs from Premia, Sugarcraft Baking and Culinary Academy.

Shoppers can adopt the 1ft and 3ft egg sculptures from the “388 Eggmonium” display and bring it home for a good cause at a starting price of RM30 each. A series of 1ft limited edition egg sculptures, designed by popular graffiti artist Kenji Chai which are on display will also be available for adoptions through an auction. Online bidding on the artist’s online platform at Facebook KenjiChai and also Instagram @Mr_Kenjichai.
All proceeds generated by the auction will be channeled to Charity Right Malaysia to aid their ‘Feed to Educate’ programme which aims to reach those in the most neglected parts of the world who suffer from hunger, to provide them with nourishing meals and to give them a chance to live normally. Charity Right believes that the best way to help needy people is to use food to encourage them to attend schools/centers of learning. This way, individuals can learn to better themselves and hopefully improve the situation they are in.

In conjunction with the World Egg Day, we hope to encourage many people to recognize the healthy role eggs can play in human diets and how it can make a huge difference in the lives of people throughout the world. We invite our shoppers to learn more about the versatility of eggs and the countless recipes one could make with eggs through our “388Eggmonium” campaign,” said Ms Phang Sze Sze, Deputy General Manager of Avenue K.
