Bakeries serving up healthier Chinese New Year goodies see rise in demand, changing attitudes

SHIFT IN ATTITUDE

Another bakery that also specialises in healthier cookies and cakes, including for festive occasions like Chinese New Year, has found that attitudes around its offerings have shifted, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic. 

There is no longer a need to convince people to try healthier alternatives, said Ms Delcie Lam, owner of Delcie’s Desserts and Cakes. The shop prides itself on creating desserts free from refined sugar, cholesterol, eggs, dairy and gluten. 

When she started the business 17 years ago, most of her customers had health conditions like diabetes or kidney failure. But in recent years, only one in five patronise her shop because of their dietary restrictions, she said. The rest choose to eat healthier.

“Customers are becoming more knowledgeable. We no longer have to tell them: ‘This (item) is vegan and we are baking without eggs and dairy’. They will no longer question us,” she said.
