FHM Culinaire 2013

FHM 2013, hmmm, the first thing come to your mind may be a sexy cover girl on the fhm magazine right?

But sorry to disappoint you, FHM this time is purely sexy sexy FOOD.

FHM basically stands for food and hotel Malaysia,

it's an exhibition held every two years, and this year was the 12th exhibition.
FYI, full name for this event would be International Exhibition of Food, Drink, Hotel, Restaurant and Food Service Equipment, Supplies, Service and Related Technology. Crazy huh?


Anyway, everyone only focus on FOOD right? *wink*

In conjunction with the FHM, there's actually another event going on which known as Culinaire 2013, where culinary and F&B experts gathered, and it's basically a competition.

I have friends and lecturers who took part in the competition, where it's one of the reason I'm so motivated to travel to KL and bear all the traffic jammsssss :)

After our visit to the Culinaire, we went to the exhibition where we get to taste a lot of food, yes A LOT.

We pay? NO! It's FOC! 

These pastries are displayed at the ab Mauri booth.

(Ab Mauri is actually a yeast and bakery ingredients manufacturer and supplier, a lot of bakeries uses their products to make quality breads and pastries, yummmmmm) 

And suddenly we were caught in a crowd cause rumour has it, FREE FOOD. 

Rational booth, they have very comprehensive and sophisticated equipment to cook food in mass, and yes, those food taste reallly really good.

Creme Caramel, this is so goood! 

Very exotic coffee machine! :) 

We tried this Earl Grey Latte, it's good. But the taste is a bit too milky.

 You know, sometimes is so good to join all these exhibition. hahaha! 

It's a cake. I feel so useless, I want to do something like that too, God help me. Haha! 

 Well, generally it's a fantastic experience to look through all these fantastic foods and development that has been made in the food industry, It was truly a blessing that I'm in the food industry line (sort of :P) An eye-opening experience I can say, and a motivation to push me work harder, so one day I can be somebody. #inspired# :)
