Oaks Coffee Roasters

Please tell us a little about yourself:

I'm from Oaks Coffee Roasters in Singapore. I have been competing for the past decade, but in the latte art category. I moved to barista category because i have more to share other than latte art. I got into the industry as a waiter first, then got to learn about coffee making because the restaurant was shorthanded, and here I am today.

What are you excited to do while you visit the Panama city?:

Always looking forward to good food!

What are your interests outside of coffee?:

other than coffee, I spend most of my time with my kids! =)

Is there anyone you would like to thank or recognize, or who helped you to prepare for the WCC?:

definitely my wife, who has supported me since day 1. my kids, who not quite understand yet why their father is always out training, but one day they will. my team at Oaks, my roaster, my mentor.
