We have a chance to speak to Jake Berber, co-founder and CEO of Prefer, the maker of Asia’s first bean-free coffee, at the recent FHA-Food & Beverage 2024 in Singapore. Here is what he has to say about Prefer and the future plans for the brand.
(left to right) Prefer is made up of Texan-born former neuroscientist Jake Berber and Singaporean food scientist Tan Ding Jie
Mini Me Insights: What gap in the market did Prefer aim to fill with its launch?
Jake: While coffee remains a beloved global beverage, its cultivation is threatened by climate change. At the same time, global demand is rising; this means coffee is getting more expensive and will continue to. We saw an opportunity to create a delicious and satisfying coffee experience without relying on traditional coffee beans. This approach addresses the growing demand for sustainable alternatives as climate change reaks havoc on the food and beverages we love.
What’s the story behind the name Prefer? How did it come to be?
Prefer is short for “precision fermentation,” the technology that we used when we began the company. In addition, we hope Prefer instills a feeling of preference for our product. It’s a subtle nudge towards a delicious, affordable, and sustainable option.
Can you tell us the ingredients in Prefer and where those ingredients come from?
Prefer’s bean-free coffee leverages a unique blend of upcycled ingredients. These include day-old bread from Gardenia, soy pulp from Mr. Bean, and spent barley grains from local breweries.
Which Prefer-branded products are available and where can I buy them?
Currently, Prefer’s provides coffee grounds, bottled lattes, and coffee concentrates served in cafes, bars, retailers, and e-commerce in Singapore. We are actively expanding our distribution network and exploring the possibility of retailing in supermarkets For the most up-to-date information on availability, please visit our website at [prefer.coffee].
Are there any exciting developments or new directions planned for Prefer?
Yup! Our expertise in bioflavors extends far beyond coffee. We plan to research and develop sustainable alternatives for other climate-threatened flavor profiles, such as cocoa, vanilla, and citrus. This expansion into a broader range of bioflavors signifies our commitment to building a more resilient and environmentally friendly food system.
What is Prefer’s current funding status, and how are the allocated funds being used? Are there any anticipated needs for further investment in the future?
Prefer is fortunate to have secured US$2 million, led by Forge Ventures. These funds are being strategically allocated to fuel research and development of our bioflavors technology, expand production capacity, and establish key partnerships within the food and beverage industry. As we pursue our ambitious growth plans, we anticipate the need for further investment in the future. We are confident that our innovative approach and commitment to sustainability will attract future investors who share our vision.
Can you describe Prefer’s ultimate business model – will it focus on retail sales or B2B partnerships?
Prefer envisions a business model that leverages B2B partnerships with the biggest F&B companies in the world seeking more affordable and sustainable flavours and ingredients. In the nearer future, however, we plan to expand our online presence and explore retail opportunities to make our products more readily available to consumers. However, building strong B2B relationships remains a core focus. We see immense potential in collaborating with cafes, restaurants, food service providers, and even other food and beverage companies to integrate our products into a wider range of products. This combined approach will allow us to maximize our impact and accelerate the adoption of sustainable food and beverages.

Visitors can pay tribute to Frida Kahlo at The Altar, where her image presides surrounded by a flower arch that
represents the gateway between the world of the living and the dead
Part of the season Frida Forever, the shows chronicle the artist’s incredible life and legacy
SINGAPORE (2 May 2024) – Two fascinating exhibitions celebrating the vibrant and
extraordinary Mexican artist and cultural icon Frida Kahlo are set to open at ArtScience Museum as part of a season titled Frida Forever, from 4 May to 1 September.
Known as one of the most influential artists of the 20th century, Frida Kahlo defied social norms throughout her life, exploring themes of identity, gender, and politics with raw honesty and intensity.
The Frida Forever season continues ArtScience Museum’s ‘Year of Extraordinary Women’ – a year-long celebration of the stories of women who have challenged narratives, defied
expectations, and transcended conventions. The exhibitions and programmes in Frida Forever take a distinctive approach by focusing on the biographical story of Frida Kahlo. Through immersive displays, historical artefacts, film screenings, symposia and workshops, the season provides a deeper understanding of Frida Kahlo not just as an artist but as an individual whose life experiences deeply influenced her creative process.
The season features the Southeast Asian premiere of Frida Kahlo: The Life of an Icon,
developed by Layers of Reality and Frida Kahlo Corporation, alongside the world premiere of Laid Bare: Frida’s Inner World, which is curated by ArtScience Museum in collaboration with Frida Kahlo’s great-niece Cristina Kahlo Alcalá and renowned curator, Circe Henestrosa. Together, these two exhibitions offer visitors a comprehensive look at Kahlo’s remarkable journey beyond the canvas.
Recognisable symbols often seen in Frida’s work include monkeys, skulls, flowers, sharp objects, animals and fruit
Despite a life marked by physical suffering which began with polio in her childhood and later a severe accident that caused lifelong complications, Kahlo channeled her experiences into her art. At the heart of Frida Forever, the exhibitions explore the interplay between Kahlo’s medical challenges, her exuberant embrace of Mexican culture, her revolutionary zeal, and the passions that defined her life. The season also includes a virtual reality (VR) experience that offers fresh perspectives on Kahlo’s artistic imagination, as well as a newly commissioned installation by Mexican artist and curator, Lidia Riveros, that celebrates Kahlo’s cultural heritage and the motifs in her art.
“As part of our ‘Year of Extraordinary Women’, ArtScience Museum is thrilled to launch Frida Forever, a new season about the life of the iconic artist Frida Kahlo. Frida is one of the most wellknown artists of the modern era, but beyond her exceptional body of work, the trials and tribulations of her life projected her into the position of a cultural and feminist icon. Within this season, we are taking an unusual approach to exploring Frida’s story, focusing on the intersection of art and medicine. Frida was able to draw on vast reservoirs of strength and resilience to transform her medical conditions into artworks of verve and vigour, and passion and poetry. Her art emerged not in spite of her physical challenges, but because of them. Her portrayal of her own body, laid bare and damaged, transcends personal suffering and speaks to the ability of art to serve as a vehicle for healing and self-discovery. Frida’s story draws attention to the often invisible experiences of those living with disabilities and is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit,”
said Honor Harger, Vice-President of ArtScience Museum at Marina Bay Sands.
“Frida Forever is for anyone who feels different, for those who embrace themselves in any
circumstances, and maintain a love of life in spite of adversity. With this season, we hope to foster tender moments of connectedness and find that little bit of Frida that exists in each one of us,” she added.
“I am so excited to see Frida Kahlo’s legacy come to life in this wonderful Frida Forever season at ArtScience Museum in Singapore. I have no doubt that the exhibitions will bring audiences closer to the life of an extraordinary woman and incredible artist. It has been a great have been delighted to work with the curatorial teams involved,” said Circe Henestrosa, curatorial advisor for Laid Bare: Frida’s Inner World.
In Asia, the hospitality industry is riding on the cusp of a world where AI becomes your partner in crafting extraordinary guest experiences.
At HSMAI’s upcoming Futures AI Workshop, visionary leaders are gathering to explore how to apply the transformative power of AI as a strategic tool that redefines the guest experience of their hotels.
In the past decade, great emphasis has been placed on personalization. Today we’re entering an era of hyper-personalization. For example, AI can help hotel managers to curate a bespoke spa experience, offering a visual experience of your service through stunning AI-generated imagery. It can also help offer a guest experience beyond booking a room, to the extent that they can co-curate their ideal stay, leading to the seamless integration of housekeeping robots to anticipate their needs.
The Futures AI Workshop offers hotel leaders a three-pronged approach:
Unveiling Hidden Potential: Today’s there’s a treasure trove of cutting-edge AI advancements waiting to be harnessed. Guests can explore their rooms before arrival with 3D virtual tours, and AI-enhanced videos can showcase a hotel’s unique offerings, to stand out from competitors.
Cultivating Innovation: Spark creative problem-solving to harness AI to address real guest needs. Think AI-powered check-in kiosks for seamless arrivals, or personalized room temperature adjustments for unparalleled comfort.
Building a Strategic Roadmap: No longer settle for a patchwork of isolated solutions. Instead, craft a comprehensive AI strategy that seamlessly integrates with the entire guest journey, from booking to check-out. Leverage guest data to personalize AI interactions and anticipate needs at every touchpoint.
Beyond the guest experience, the Futures AI Workshop will also teach hospitality leaders to leverage AI to bring operational efficiency to unprecedented heights. It’s an essential opportunity to thrive with competitive edge.

The new KitKat® is the first result of the partnership with Malaysian Cocoa Board to accelerate cocoa farming development in Malaysia
Negeri Sembilan, 06 May 2024 – In line with its ongoing efforts to localise its ingredients supply chain, Nestlé Malaysia has just unveiled its latest innovation: KitKat® Dark Borneo, made exclusively using cocoa beans grown in Sabah and Sarawak. The beans are sourced through the Nestlé Borneo Cocoa Initiative (NBCI) launched in September last year. NBCI is a strategic partnership between Nestlé Malaysia and the Malaysian Cocoa Board (MCB) to expand the Company’s Farmer Connect program to East Malaysia.
This is the latest farming venture by Nestlé Malaysia to support better and more sustainable agricultural practices, contributing to the nation’s food security and improved livelihoods for the farmers involved, through the various Nestlé’s Farmer Connect program. Indeed, since 1985, the Company has been actively engaged in the planting of local chilis and rice in several states. More recently, since 2019, the company is also leading the expansion of coffee planting in Kedah and in Kelantan. Finally, the expansion through NBCI to East Malaysia offers great opportunity to develop cocoa local supply building on the favourable soil and weather conditions in Sabah and Sarawak, whilst contributing towards positioning Malaysia back in the global supply landscape for this highly valued crop.
Using Trinitario cocoa beans grown in Borneo’s fertile volcanic soil and tropical rainforest climate, which goes through a careful fermentation and sun drying process, the KitKat® Dark Borneo with 52% cocoa content strikes a perfect balance of rich and creamy taste, with unique fruity notes that give the product a very distinct and sophisticated personality. KitKat® Dark Borneo is part of the KitKat® product range produced at the Halal-certified Chembong industrial complex in Negeri Sembilan. Recently equipped with a new Biomass Boiler plant which significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions, this facility is one the largest Nestlé confectionery plants in Asia, and plays a pivotal role as an export manufacturing hub to all ASEAN markets and other destinations.

At the official launch event, held at the Malaysian Cocoa Board in Nilai, Negeri Sembilan, Juan Aranols, Chief Executive Officer of Nestlé (Malaysia) Berhad said, “The KitKat® Dark Borneo launch is part of our commitment to advancing local and sustainable sourcing through Nestlé Malaysia’s Farmer Connect program, which has now expanded into East Malaysia and goes beyond our current engagements involving chili, rice and coffee agricultural development. This initiative makes tangible our vision of “better farming, better lives, and better cocoa”. Our approach includes implementing Regenerative Agriculture practices like agroforestry and intercropping, which helps to ensure the soil health for the long run, as well as develop the crop yield, which helps in boosting the local farmers’ income. We believe that KitKat® Dark Borneo, in addition to a great tasting and high-quality confectionery, is a great example of how private-public partnerships can bring about positive change and improved opportunities for economic development for the local communities. Ultimately, KitKat®’s promise of “having a ‘good’ break gets its full significance when it benefits everyone, from the cocoa farmers to the many chocolate-loving Malaysians”.
The launch event was graced by the presence of Yang Berhormat Datuk Seri Haji Johari Bin Abdul Ghani, Minister of Plantation and Commodities of Malaysia, who remarked, “Malaysia has great potential to integrate into the global cocoa market, which is currently highly dependent on few cocoa producing countries in the world. Our Ministry, together with the Malaysian Cocoa Board are committed to not only revitalising, but also enriching our cocoa industry. It is our task to reenergise the upstream and downstream sectors, ensuring that our approaches not only increase income generation but also instil environmental stewardship among our communities.”
He continued, stressing the importance of innovative initiatives in tackling industry challenges. “Malaysia was once a thriving cocoa-producing nation, and there are vast opportunities for us to infuse technology and product innovation to elevate our production levels. Therefore, effort such as this by Nestlé KitKat® to support Borneo growers in improving their lives and the quality of their products through Nestlé’s sustainability plan are crucial.”

At the launch event, KitKat® also paid tribute to the hands that crafted the KitKat® Dark Borneo – the cocoa farmers from both Sabah and Sarawak. Additionally, there was a demonstration of cocoa tree pruning and cocoa bean fermentation process by the farmers, which is the crucial step in producing high-quality cocoa.

In conjunction with the Parents’ Day celebrations in May and June, Signature Market has launched a campaign offering advice and tools to Malaysians planning their second chapter.
Kuala Lumpur, 3 May 2024 — This year, to further showcase the brand’s commitment to community building across all demographics, Signature Market has launched a Parents’ Day campaign targeted towards helping Malaysians who are planning for their retirement or are looking for ways to stay healthy and maintain their independence post-retirement. In addition to a specially curated kit designed to give older parents the tools needed to help them kickstart their next chapter to its full potential, the brand also hosted a day of sharing featuring medical experts, financial wellness experts, and key community members for its customers.
The world is currently witnessing an ever-growing aging population and Malaysia is no stranger to this phenomenon. According to the Department of Statistics Malaysia, the country saw an increase of 0.2% in the 65 years and above age group from 2022 to 2023, encompassing roughly 2.5 million people. And as society continues to age, the need for our elders to adopt an enriched, purpose-driven approach to the golden years becomes even more essential.
As a way to bridge the gap between experts and the community, Signature Market hosted an event on 27 April 2024, Craft One’s Second Life Story, featuring profound insights from wellness entrepreneurs, aged-care professionals, and medical specialists — shedding light on transforming retirement into a dynamic period of personal and social growth. During the event, guests heard speeches from Dr. Ong Shiau Ying, Medical Director and Founder of Perfect Healthcare, Dr. Yek Chu Jie, Medical Officer of Perfect Healthcare Clinic, and Jenny Lim, Resource & Training Manager of Alzheimer’s Disease Foundation Malaysia (ADFM). In addition to the speakers, guests were also able to hear from Nancee Vincent, a seasoned wellness entrepreneur, and Michael Yong, an aged-care specialist in the panel discussion.
Covering topics ranging from preventing osteoporosis, the importance of oral health for general well-being, and understanding dementia, guests were able to learn about the different health and wellness factors that come into play when ageing. The guest medical experts also taught guests how to craft a lifestyle that can give them the best quality of life in their second chapter through a combination of mental, physical, and even financial wellness.
Aside from the community event, Signature Market also introduced the “Blooming Sunshine Gift Box” in conjunction with Parents’ Month — offering more than just a collection of items but also an invitation for everyone to actively practise self-love through nurturing the mind, body, and spirit. Priced at RM100, each gift box includes 15 thoughtfully curated items from Signature Market, Plant Origins, Blackmores, Healthland, iQiyi, ecoBrown, Beacon Mart, Silky Professional and the campaign’s official event partner, PERFECT Healthcare — united in their commitment to promoting holistic health.
For this campaign, Signature Market also collaborated with the Alzheimer’s Disease Foundation Malaysia (ADFM) — a vital part of the “Blooming Sunshine Gift Box” initiative highlighting the brand’s dedication to enriching lives.
“This partnership aims to provide support to those affected by Alzheimer’s while also increasing public awareness about the disease and the lifestyle choices that can help mitigate its risk. Research indicates that maintaining an active lifestyle and a healthy body weight can significantly reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s and other cognitive disorders. Our support for ADFM reflects a broader commitment: motivating the public to take proactive steps towards crafting a fulfilling and independent second life by taking control of their health and wellness,” said Edwin Wang, CEO and Co-Founder of Signature Market.
Every purchase of a “Blooming Sunshine Gift Box” not only contributes to ADFM’s crucial efforts but also encourages buyers to adopt self-care practices that promote long-term wellness.
