A NEW CHAPTER WITH MOTHER AND SON

When Koh’s brother, Chia, took the helm two years ago, the brand gained new speed. &nbsp,

Chia’s enthusiasm for bread was apparent at a very young age. He again entered a pie decorating contest at the age of 11. Koh recalled that we had the bad schedule and went to church in the morning. We woke up at 9 a.m. and hurriedly entered the competition for 20 days. Timothy continued to make the frosting and placed in the top three overall.

Chia graduated from Temasek Polytechnic with a degree in baking and cooking science after pursuing his oven career.

Chia acknowledged that starting a home business was never really a part of his strategy, noting that “family businesses are rarely simple but there is a reason why I am in it today.”

” My family has spent a lot of time creating this company. Why don’t I take control and make it into something even bigger because there is so much legacy these &nbsp? Chia reflected. &nbsp,

The move wasn’t simple. Koh acknowledged that during the Chia’s list revamp, some cafe menu items, like the entire berempah, were removed. He also acknowledged that he was” a little pained.” &nbsp,

The cafe formerly served dishes made with baked goods and curry meat in an Asian-Western style. &nbsp,

She shared,” It took me about a month, it was a method.” When Chia joined the company, the cafe underwent renovations to give it a more edgier, healthier look.

But she is pleased with the outcomes. You need to combine these two to be successful, my child has become a better cook and merchant. I was more of a woman than a [baking ] teacher.

Koh oversees the cooking class, while Chia is in charge of the shop.

Koh and Chia both have similar traits: they are normally obstinate and deeply passionate, which has resulted in a lot of disagreements. We’re much calmer and deal with conflicts then, Koh said. We constantly remind ourselves that we have the exact objectives and feelings for one another at the end of the day.
