SNBC Finalist 2011

Terence Ching, one of the finalist for 2011 Singapore National Barista Competition, SNBC in short. Has made a comeback in the National scene better then ever. After being away for the past one year, he clinched 3rd runner-up in this year's competition.He was also the 1st runner up for 2010 Mitr Phol barista competition held at Takashimaya,organised by CuppaChoice International.
I asked, what was his recipe for success. He said, " It's pure hard work and the cofidence i showed to the judges". So Baristas out there in Singapore, never give up alright!
His signature bevarage, salted caramel espresso machiatto. Sounds very interesting. "I would love to try it out one day". He finally shared his "secret" blend. The beans were Brazil Cerado, Ethiopia Sidamo, Indian Monsoon Malabar. It was smooth, round and has bright acid with a heavy mouthfeel.
The beans he had was limited,"I think i had the last cup". However you can get the man himself to pour a cup for you at Joe and Dough located at Suntec City or make roast-on-demand purchase from CuppaChoice Cafe.Academy.Retail.Roastery at No. 3 Temple Street.

Very cool and compose
