It gives me great pleasure to be around here as one of the spectators in the open house, since I was student here in Food Consulate. I now work in the Pastry Kitchen at Park Hyatt, which is a great journey for me starting as an amateur baker to a professional one.
I was very passionate about baking and i wanted to earn a professional degree. When i came to see this place, i was very definite that i wanted to join Food Consulate. The Kitchen is well equipped with all the new trending equipment and we were taught how to use all of them

I am thankful to Food Consulate for helping me out in pursuing my dream. Not to mention the facilities provided by Food Consulate was excellent. 🙂 looking forward for more classes here at FC.
When i first visited FC, it was love at first sight. It gave me an impression that this place would give me nothing but the best experience and knowledge and true enough it has given me more than what i had expected. Looking back to the first day of my class, i was very empty and had no skills in baking but now i can say that this institute has taught me a lot and I’m looking forward to advance my knowledge and experience. Truly FC gave me the best!
