Hanbit never started out as a pastry chef – he studied mathematics at Oxford(MMATH), worked in investment banking(Credit Suisse) and consultancy(Bain & Company). So basically nothing to do with pastry…but Hanbit was always interested in starting a F&B business so he was constantly looking out for opportunities. And one day, he made a bold move by quitting his job and enrolling at a pastry school. That’s where it all started.

He loved it and he still loves it! The career shift wasn’t easy at all – gruelling hours of pastry production was a whole different world to working in an air-conditioned office. But as time went on he quickly got used to it and the learning curve was steep. Having jumped into pastry at the age of 31, he had a lot to absorb to catch up as quickly as possible and bring himself up to speed.
