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.
