When I first started Guilt Free Food, I was quite determined that a Singapore-born food brand should have something distinctly Singaporean about it.

I experimented with familiar flavours and looked for ways to bring some of what I grew up eating into GFF. Years ago, we even collaborated with Old Amoy Chendol. At the time, that was how I thought about our Singapore identity through the flavours and food memories that felt like home.

As I got deeper into the business, my thinking started to change.

Yesterday, I visited my mum and watched her happily eating our brioche. My mum is diabetic, so she has to be conscious of what she eats. Something as simple as enjoying a sweet bake isn’t always quite so simple when you have to think about sugar, carbs and whether you should be eating it at all.

But there she was, simply enjoying her brioche.

There was nothing particularly Singaporean about what she was eating. No pandan, gula melaka or local twist. Yet watching her made me think about how much my own idea of being a Singapore food brand has changed over the years.

We Singaporeans have such a deep relationship with food. We celebrate with it, show love with it, bring it when we visit someone, and spend an unreasonable amount of time discussing where to find the best version of almost everything.

Perhaps being a Singapore-born food company doesn’t mean everything we make has to taste Singaporean. For me now, it is also about understanding how important the enjoyment of food is to us, and finding ways for people to continue enjoying it even when the way they need to eat changes.

I still love our local flavours, and there will always be a place for them at GFF. But after all these years of building the business, my understanding of what makes us Singaporean has become a little broader.

Yesterday, it looked like my mum sitting at home, enjoying a brioche.

Happy 61st birthday, Singapore. 🇸🇬

When we opened Guilt Free Food 18 months ago, I often wondered if we had taken on too much too soon.

Building a food business was already demanding. We had to make food that people genuinely wanted to buy, find customers, manage our costs and learn how to operate a commercial kitchen. At the same time, we decided that inclusive hiring would be part of GFF from the beginning, rather than something we introduced only after the business became successful.

There were days when I looked at our cash flow, our staffing needs and the operational challenges ahead and wondered whether we should have waited. It was not because I questioned the value of inclusive hiring. I questioned whether a young business had the capacity to do both well.

Choosing inclusive hiring did not lower the expectations placed on us. We still had to make delicious food, deliver consistently and give customers a reason to return. At the same time, we had to learn how to train people differently, communicate more clearly and build a workplace where different individuals could contribute meaningfully. There was no point creating opportunities that the business could not sustain, but waiting until everything felt secure could also mean waiting indefinitely.

Yesterday, Guilt Free Food received the One Heart recognition at the Company of Good Conferment. The recognition meant a great deal to me because it brought me back to those early questions and the many difficult decisions behind what people now see.

Thank you to Company of Good for recognising Guilt Free Food, and congratulations to the 1,045 organisations conferred alongside us.

Eighteen months later, I realise that taking on too much was not really the question. The real question was what kind of company we wanted to become. I am glad we answered that one early

Two days ago, two young men walked into Guilt Free Food on their way to cold plunge. Looking at them, I naturally assumed they were here for one reason. They looked fit, energetic and like they took their training seriously, so I thought they were probably after something high in protein.

As we chatted, one of them casually mentioned that he had just completed chemotherapy.

It completely caught me by surprise.

I instinctively reached for a Power Box card. Before I could explain what it was or why we created it, he glanced at it and simply said, "I'll take one." They didn't stop there. They also picked up our reduced-sugar cinnamon rolls and a high-protein brownie. It was obvious they genuinely loved good food as much as they cared about looking after themselves.

As I watched them leave, I realised how easily we put people into categories. We see someone at the gym and assume they're only interested in protein. We hear someone has gone through chemotherapy and assume they no longer enjoy treats. The truth is, people are rarely just one thing.

Over the past five years, building Guilt Free Food has taught me that every customer who walks through our doors has a different story. Some are managing a medical condition, some are pursuing fitness goals, some simply love good food, and many are all of those things at the same time. We don't need to know their story to decide whether they deserve to enjoy what they eat.

That's why we don't build food for one type of customer. We build food for real life, because real people don't fit neatly into the labels we give them.

Yesterday was our first Power Box activation (Buns and Burpees) with and .

For the past few years, most conversations around Guilt Free Food have been about reducing sugar, gluten-free options, and helping people enjoy foods they thought they had to give up.

Yesterday, we stepped into a different conversation.

Protein. Recovery. Performance.

What surprised me was how familiar the questions felt.

Yes, people wanted to know about the protein content. But they also wanted to know whether it tasted good.

That reminded me that regardless of whether someone is managing sugar intake or looking for more protein, the goal is often the same.

People don’t want food that feels like a compromise.

They want food that supports their lifestyle and still feels enjoyable to eat.

As I reflected on the day, I realised the Power Box isn’t a departure from what we’ve been building at Guilt Free Food.

It’s another expression of it.

Food freedom looks different for different people.

For some, it’s eating less sugar.

For others, it’s finding more protein without giving up the foods they enjoy.

Yesterday felt like the start of a new conversation, and we are very excited to see where it leads.

A month ago, just before , we launched the Power Box with a simple question:

Can food support an active lifestyle without feeling restrictive?

The response has surprised us.

Some customers have been using it as a post-workout snack. Others have told us it helps them get through long workdays without reaching for sugary treats. One customer even recognised the box from our ads when she visited us recently at a pop-up.

Tomorrow, we’re taking Power Box into a gym for the first time.

We’ve teamed up with for a fun little activation called Buns & Burpees.

Most burpees in 15 seconds wins a GFF Power Box and a pair of limited-edition Cinnamon Roll Boy Shorts.

More importantly, we’re curious to see how the fitness community responds to a box that’s high protein, low carb and zero sugar, while still tasting like real food.

It’s been exciting to see how people discovered the Power Box at Boutiques Singapore, and now we’re looking forward to seeing how it resonates with an entirely different crowd.

We’ll be sharing some of the reactions tomorrow.

My prediction?

Someone is going to take a bite and say:

“Wait... this is high protein and zero sugar?”

We’ll find out soon enough.

Boutiques Singapore SS26 was one of the biggest milestones for Guilt Free Food so far.

Over 4 days, we watched hundreds of people stop by our booth, sample our bakes, ask questions, and then smile in disbelief.

“Wait… this is reduced sugar?”
“This is high protein?”
“How is it still so soft and fluffy?”

The most meaningful part for me over the few days wasn’t just the crowds or sales. It was seeing people realise they could finally enjoy treats again without feeling like they had to compromise.

Some were trying to reduce sugar intake. Some were looking for higher protein options. Some had dietary restrictions. Some simply came expecting “healthy desserts” to taste disappointing.

Then they took a bite, paused for a second, and looked genuinely surprised.

That has always been the heart behind GFF. Not diet food, and not food built around restriction. Just the belief that indulgence and care can coexist, and that people should still be able to enjoy dessert with everyone else at the table.

Somewhere during those 4 days, I also realised something else. GFF is no longer just a small bakery people accidentally discover. More people are actively looking for treats that help them feel included rather than restricted, and they are genuinely excited when they find them.

We are also deeply grateful to Boutiques Singapore Spring Summer 2026 for creating a space where independent brands like ours can be discovered, experienced, and understood beyond just labels or dietary categories.

To everyone who stopped by our booth, sampled our products, shared your stories, brought friends back, queued patiently, and supported us over the past few days - a BIG thank you.

Three days to Boutiques Singapore, and for the first time, I feel like we are bringing the real shape of Guilt Free Food with us.

Not just the cinnamon rolls people first knew us for, but the full range of things we have quietly been building over the years.

Over time, I started noticing something very simple. A lot of people are not avoiding dessert because they want to. Somewhere along the way, eating became complicated.

Some stopped because of sugar. Some because of gluten. Some because they were trying to eat better without giving up the foods they love. Most people do not talk about it openly. They just quietly sit out.

That never sat well with me.

What began with one cinnamon roll slowly grew into a menu shaped around food freedom : zero sugar, gluten-free, high protein, vegan, reduced sugar but always with flavour first.

This year, we are also bringing our Roselle Roll made with actual botanicals from Luli’s tea blend. Slightly floral, lightly tangy, and less sweet than traditional festive flavours, it reflects the kind of direction we are moving towards: familiar treats, thoughtfully reworked for modern lifestyles.

More than anything, I hope people walk away from Boutiques feeling like there was finally something there for them too.
