Short intro about myself, my name is Git, I'm 24 years old and I've decided to turn my life around now rather than wait till I'm 30. I gave up the prospects of a boring career as an engineer to pursue my long-standing passion for the culinary arts. In doing so, I have wound up in Sydney Australia studying cuisine in the world renown school of Le Cordon Bleu.
I have been here for about 3 weeks now and attended 2 weeks of lessons and I must say, even though it was a culture shock when I first touch down in Australia due to the slower pace of life, I'm starting to get used to it, slowly and surely. I first tried to reject their culture but I learnt that when in Rome, do as the Romans do.
One thing awesome about Sydney is that there is great shopping. There are many brands, many indie designers and they are all neatly organized for you. For example above is a beautiful Victorian Style Building called Queen Victoria Building a.k.a QVB, inside, you can find branded goods on the first floor and 2nd floor, and on the third, you can find the shops of local Australian designers who I must say, have alot of talent. There is another place called Paddington where all the indie designers can be found, maybe when I go there again, I'll remember to bring my camera with me.
Does anyone remember a chocolate brand called Lindht? Well they have a shop in Sydney along Darling Harbor. Darling Harbor is like the Clarke Quay of Sydney. You can find plenty of good food there and there are plenty of bars and clubs there too. Well my friends brought me to Lindht and by god, I had the best macarons in my life there. The macarons there did not have an overpowering cream between the pieces of meringue, the flavors were subtle and just right and the texture was simply melt in your mouth. I had a champagne macaron and a hazelnut macaron and they were both equally awesome!
That is all I'm going to talk about in my first post, stay tuned for a snippet of my school life.
