She Moved to Vietnam With 2 Cats, Now She Runs One of Hanoi’s Best Bakeries [Chills 265 ft Sheereen]

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. But a simple cookie experiment at home eventually became the bakery’s signature product and helped build a loyal following.

This episode explores what it really takes to build a business overseas, and how stepping outside Singapore can completely reshape your perspective on life, work, and success.
