During my university days, I stumbled upon a fondant cake. You know, those cutesy kinds of cakes with sugar decorations? I was kind of looking for a hobby since I had time to kill and I thought, okay, I want to learn. I did some research and next thing I knew, I accelerated all my courses in university. Once I finished, I flew to Le Cordon Bleu in Paris to learn pastry and I've not looked back since.All graduates from Le Cordon Bleu Paris get the opportunity to do an internship. Back then, everything was super new to me. I didn't know anything. I didn't understand what it was to work in a restaurant. I figured I'd just go with the flow.
No surprise, one week later, I flew back to Paris. And continued working at Hexagone-Histoires for two years.When did you learn that you'd been named Asia's Best Pastry Chef of the Year 2023?
