National Day is in less than two weeks’ time, which means it’s the best time to enjoy local flavour snacks as F&B brands race to introduce themed treats. One of the more interesting offerings we have come across is made by Rebecca Lim’s older brother Daniel, the resident baker at his own pastry business called The Lims’ Kitchen, which he started with his family.
And good news for those who don’t want to pay for delivery: Daniel is working on opening his own brick-and-mortar shop. He shares with 8days.sg: “Introducing a retail space is something we have explored for some time, and I think we are close. We want to interact with our customers beyond Instagram, WhatsApp messages and emails.”
In the meantime, he said: “We have also been taking on engagements for customised corporate giftings and special events like weddings, man yue gift boxes and other private parties. We’re so grateful for the trust that these customers have placed in us!” According to Daniel, Rebecca, who also bakes and cooks, “opens doors for partnership”. He points out that he faces challenges as a small business owner, and realised that collaborations were crucial for him. “We hope to work meaningfully with like-minded founders and collectively bring better locally made produce to our fellow Singaporeans,” he says.
