FHM 2007-Culinaire Malaysia 2007 Pt. 3 - Final

So, here's the final part to the FHM exhibit that I went to recently. Apart from sampling and tasting all the wonderful food, I was fascinated by the Barista Coffee section for a few reasons. I simply love coffee and what more when the 2007 World Latte Art Champion , Jack Hanna (all the way from Sydney!) was brought in by Barista Coffee to show us his skills while making coffee for us.

Doing Latte Art freehand is the hardest to master but Jack Hanna does it with such ease.

A closer look at the completed Latte Art. It's just too lovely to drink!

Of course, this section was also interesting because Jack Hanna is such a cutie, even more so in person! I'm sure his coffee will always taste good to me no matter what! Hahaha...read more about him and his journey to becoming the world champion HERE.

The other interesting area was where the cake displays were. This section was opened to the public for just RM5 entrance fee.

In my opinion, these were the few notable ones among the sea of masterpieces....

Found this so cute and nice, an alien chess set! This was one of Teckiee's favourite too. It is so apt as a Halloween cake too! Haha....

A closer look at how this cake was intricately made. Such details! Wonder how they manage to stack the rest of the tiers on top since this section was hollow....

Here's one for any Chinese auspicious event!

This cake is made by the same chef as the white cake above. He seems to have a liking for dragons.

Here's a different one with dragons, I find these cakes with dragons fascinating too. (Note the blur background; the red, black and white mask).

I'm looking forward to FHM 2009, what an event this was. By the way, I'll be off to Hanoi tomorrow but do continue to leave your comments though it may not appear yet as they'll still be moderated. Till then, see you all next week!

FHM 2007-Culinaire Malaysia 2007 Pt. 1

In conjunction with the Merdeka post, here is another Malaysian event. I was fortunate enough to drop by KLCC Convention Centre last Thursday for FHM (Food&Hotel Malaysia) 2007 as I have not been to one before. Held every 2 years, FHM 2007 (22 August - 25 August) showcased food/drinks, service equipment, supplies and related technology etc. All three levels of the hall were filled with over 600 international and local exhibitors and it was definitely a nicer experience for me (as compared to going to the same place for PC Fair! Hahaha...). Of course, there were lots of drinks and food sampling, I guess this is why the show is not open to the public but only to those from the food industry. I could have spent the whole day here as there were so many things to see and food/drinks to taste. Anyway, here are the photos (mainly food shots!)...
