Barista Jam '12 @ 'F' by Buffalo Kitchens

after the CTI conference, Barista Jam '12 was held at 'F' by buffalo kitchens the next day.

this event was all about gathering the coffee enthusiasts to talk about coffee and of course coffee jamming.

this was the second coffee jamming held by them, hopefully there will be more coming up in future.

this place is pretty awesome if you want to spend a quiet afternoon with a great cuppa of coffee, or reading those book i love (who doesn't like 'The Fat Duck, Noma..etc etc), or hanging out with friends..going to try their brekkie soon enough

back to the story, I had the opportunity to try out the coffee brought over by Van-lin. Two different beans from different regions. Sorry i don't have the pictures but i still remember the taste and aroma of the coffee. One was lighter in taste, smoother, and i do agree it goes better with the milk, or in my words, a more lady kind of coffee..gentle. The next one was stronger, more pungent, and the aroma actually linger at the palate for a much longer period. if you asked which did I favor more, I would say, I prefer having both at different time, different mood.

they had a small, fun competition too. to see who can make the most rosetta in a cup..hmm i decided to stand there and watch since i don't even remember making a love..lol..guess my sifu will be pretty disappointed with me huh..

this cup was by Ryan..5 in a cup..pretty awesome huh..

Cheryl and Fai..it's great to talk to both of them. thanks for the sharing the other afternoon..

ahh...its Cheryl turn..how was it?? haha

this was not from Cheryl. it's Van-lin. 6 in a row..two thumbs up for this.

how long does all this people take to master all these skills and after gulping so much coffee, they still have such strong passion towards coffee..the sensitivity of smelling and tasting, that's one thing i envy..

the manager of 'F', Rachel, an awesome lady, energetic. and i remember what she said, ' i love the machine lots'. i mean you seldom listening people saying this as the common said ' i love coffee' or 'i love latte art'. listening to her story of her coffee journey just makes me feel like flying straight out of the country at that moment and be at the spot she once stood.

Tung-wei performing..someone who turns his hates of the 'black liquid' to love and all thanks to all the coffee enthusiast around him. and we shall thanks him for holding this FUN event at his place.
