What happens when you leave Singapore at 21, move to Vietnam, and start life from scratch? Sit down with Sheereen Amran, Founder, Baked and Friends, a Singaporean entrepreneur who built one of Hanoi’s most loved bakeries after taking a leap into the unknown. Her journey wasn’t simple. She faced job rejections, cultural shocks, and even launched her bakery during the COVID lockdowns.
