I have not published new “diary” about my life for few months. After I have passed<\/strong> from the C&G barista exam, I am learning<\/strong> something new while I am still chasing my goal – to be a “bus driver”.<\/p>\n

After I had determined<\/strong> to go Taiwan for my bachelor degree, I<\/strong> also set<\/strong> a special goal for myself – look for my Miss right. However, after\u00a0I had stayed<\/strong> in Taiwan for four years, I came<\/strong> back<\/strong> to Hong Kong because I could not meet the standard – to be a boyfriend of any Taiwanese. After I had helped out<\/strong> in a local primary school as an IT assistant, I came to<\/strong> my current position. After I had realized<\/strong> that I need to improve my language, I<\/strong> also noticed<\/strong> that I need to make my life more colorful.<\/p>\n

Therefore, before I have<\/strong> just taken the C&G barista exam, I took<\/strong> part in a 10km charity run. Before I joined<\/strong> the run, I spent<\/strong> much time and effort in practicing. To go back a little bit, before I started<\/strong> my plan about joining the charity run, I was<\/strong> a part-time student in HKU SPACE for a PPL related course.<\/p>\n

As time go by, indeed, I have graduated from university for almost 2 years. Over this period of time frame,\u00a0 I met a lot of great people, both from work and school. They taught me a lot – that is not talking about the relationship between teacher and student. We are just inspiring each an other.<\/p>\n

Tonight, I am glad that I have little spare to time to type this blog – about my latest learning on the topic of CHEESE.<\/p>\n

\n

In this warm and relaxing evening, I bought 4 blocks of cheese from supermarket. Instead of presenting them on a cheeseboard, I go for the cheese on a glass dish – I name it cheese plate, whatever – simplicity is the best – less is more~<\/p>\n

The reason why I did so because I am reading a book about cheese recently- I want to learn more new thing while I am pursuing my goal to be a “bus driver” – anyway – work hard, play hard, follow my heart.<\/p>\n

Back to the knowledge about cheese –<\/p>\n

On the whole, cheese is generally classified into 7 family :<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. fresh<\/strong> cheese<\/li>\n
  2. aged fresh<\/strong> cheese<\/li>\n
  3. soft white<\/strong> cheese<\/li>\n
  4. semi-soft<\/strong> cheese<\/li>\n
  5. hard<\/strong> cheesse<\/li>\n
  6. blue<\/strong> cheese<\/li>\n
  7. flavor-added<\/strong> cheese<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    3 among 7 are tasted by our family – I picked up two slices of Camembert, a slice of\u00a0Edam and a slice of Comt\u00e9 aoc.<\/p>\n

    Camembert,<\/strong> which inherit typical soft white cheese’s feature<\/strong> – have a white crust<\/strong> on the outside as the rind.<\/p>\n

    Generally, milk source for soft white cheese could come from cow, buffalo, ewe, goat and\/or camel. I gather that two of my selections have distinguish\u00a0 age – the texture is slight different : one is chalky and another is soften and creamy;<\/p>\n

    Edam<\/strong>, is the semi-soft cheese<\/strong> on the plate. From book, the semi-soft cheese tends to have various form of appearance and texture as it is divided into two style :\u00a0Dry rind cheeses (ripen slowly) and\u00a0Washed-rind cheeses (maybe with a sticky orange rind)<\/p>\n

    One feature is quite eyeballs catching on Edam is its wax cloth.<\/p>\n

    Comt\u00e9 (AOC)<\/strong> is the most fancy “actor on the stage” – its amazing flexible texture as well as nut flavor received my dad ‘s appreciation.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    \n

    Well, I am not sure when my dream will come true, but at least, I am glad that I am gearing myself to be competent for the position.<\/p>\n

    If I can’t to be one of the “bus driver” or even worst, what if I could be one of them but I can’t after all. I still have my backup destination – barista? or gastronomy? Who knows?!<\/p>\n
