I’ve known Xin Hui since young and witnessing this journey of her life is just heartwarming. It takes not only courage but also strategic thinking, commitment and the undying fire in her to start Tiny Pockets, an online bakery business during the Covid period. Many would have said it was easy to start back then, but it is a whole different story to persist till today.  Xin Hui’s unique approach to her bakery business has made her one of the successful women I know today, all while having a side gig of modeling. She knows she can’t satisfy all the taste buds in the world, but as long as she enjoys her own tarts and cookies, she’s willing to sell them. Keeping the desserts fresh and off the artificial ingredients is also one of her unique selling points, and as one of her customers, I can attest to that.  Rainy days are ahead and as we talk about Tiny Pockets’ success story, buckle up as we listen to her plans moving forward getting ready for a tough market.
