When actress Jeanette Aw announced her departure from Mediacorp and her management company Hype Records in 2018, it sent shockwaves through the local showbiz scene.

Jeanette Aw shared that she had thought about shuttering her baking business.

That year, she joined Le Cordon Bleu Dusit Culinary School in Bangkok as a student and, in 2021, announced that she would be opening her bakery Once Upon A Time, to the delight of her fans. "As an artiste, while I received a lot of support, I also faced strong backlash. There are many things that only those who have experienced this journey like me can truly understand how difficult it can be. Working in a kitchen is also a physical challenge," Jeanette shared.

"Many people thought I was just doing baking as a hobby and some of my friends, who are chefs, also told me that the food and beverage business is one of the toughest industries," she said.
