Well sauced: How a Malaysian café owner pivoted from espressos to pestos... and aïolis

The 30-year-old had studied Hospitality & Tourism, a field he was passionate about and from which he had gleaned the necessary skills for his first business. It was hardly an overnight leap into entrepreneurship, however.Tan says, “After graduating from Switzerland, I worked in the hotel industry for three years before venturing into opening my own cafés — The Front Door at Petaling Street and Second Sunday at Damansara Jaya.

A quick pivot was required. Not building an entirely new business from scratch but one that took shape based on whatever resources were at hand. Tan says, “During MCO, many cafés and restaurants came out with many interesting packages to cater to people staying at home. We realised people do love cooking at home but the most tedious part is to make or think about sauces to complement their dishes, hence the idea of selling sauces for home cooks.”

Ah, but the imagination is a challenge, hence the need to showcase the various ways these sauces can be enjoyed beyond using them as straight-up sauces. One way Sauce Lab achieved this was via their social media pages. But there’s nothing like getting a feel for the real deal.
