No Cooking Required

Food isn’t just about feeding people — it’s about connection, community, and stories. We sit down with Chan Yilyn and William Cheah, the co-founders of Santapan, a social enterprise born from a passion for simple, heartfelt cooking and a mission to uplift communities.

From their journey of turning a dream into reality to the challenges of balancing purpose with profitability, we explore how they’ve crafted a brand that resonates with people. Learn how they keep quality and heart at the centre of everything they do, while paving the way for a more inclusive and impactful food industry. It’s a conversation about food, resilience, and the power of bringing people together.
