Jeanette took to her Instagram Story to share a sneak peek of their progress.

"The red bean paste made from scratch by Yeo Min. And it's quite a process!" she wrote, showing her madeleine.

Jeanette's Once Upon a Time opened in Singapore back in 2021 and she recently opened pop-ups in Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya. In the same year, Yeo Min participated in Channel 8's baking competition Creme De La Creme, where Jeanette was a judge, and emerged as a finalist.
