Grapes and Chocolates

Fadhly, Fad in short, turning 21, single and available. A rocker and a Barista/trainer says coffee best paired with chocolate and grapes. But why? Simply because certain beans exhibits those flavours.
He is currently pursuing the art of roasting, being train under the wings of Suhaimie Sukiman (SNBC 2010 & 2011 2nd runner-up). Roasting allowed Fad to understand the individual beans characteristic in depth.

He says,"It is satisfying to know that I created an end product; referring to the roasted beans. I like to explore in different roast level at times and create different R&D blends. Well, coffee is a never ending journey like what everybody says".

Competing in the Nationals for the first time, he was cool and compose through out the competition. Before SNBC, he had participated in a few Barista competition like the Mitr Phol Barista Competition 2010 held at Takashimaya organized by CuppaChoice and Oriole latte art throwdown last year.So he was well prepared after all. All the best Fad. "POP oh...!"..
