Our Story

My journey with health and food started on a deeply personal note. My dad was diagnosed with diabetes early in life. Growing up in a challenging family environment, he struggled to manage the disease. When he started a family, it gave him some motivation to take control, and I vividly remember him warning me countless times about the dangers of sugary and fatty foods. He wanted me to avoid the path he was on, knowing that I might inherit a predisposition to diabetes.

Despite his advice, I led a sedentary lifestyle with poor food choices, resulting in obesity from my primary school days. It wasn’t until I started a family of my own and faced a fatty liver scare that I realized it was time to change. Embarking on the ketogenic lifestyle became a turning point for me. Over time, I lost a substantial amount of weight, and to my relief, the suspected fatty liver resolved completely. The transformation wasn’t just physical—it was empowering.

The photo accompanying this story is from December 2013, taken less than a year before my dad passed away. His mismanagement of diabetes led to a cascade of health issues: a heart attack that required bypass surgery, gangrene in his foot due to poor circulation, multiple amputations, and eventually, end-stage kidney failure. Witnessing his journey was heartbreaking, but it instilled in me a determination to break the cycle.

Overcoming poor eating habits wasn’t easy, but I learned that motivation plays a critical role. That’s why I don’t see Ketojiak simply as a business; it’s my mission. I’m here to support those committed to taking charge of their health by offering sugar-free, ultra-low-carb desserts of uncompromising quality. Our products advocate for the ketogenic lifestyle—not just as a “diet” but as a sustainable way to enjoy life with fewer carbs and sugars.

For many, the joy of sharing ice creams and waffles with loved ones has become a lost experience due to blood sugar concerns. At Ketojiak, we want to bring those moments back. We aim to do more than provide healthier desserts; we create a space where families and friends—whether dealing with diabetes, cancer, or simply pursuing better health—can gather and enjoy delicious treats together without worry. It’s about rekindling those shared joys and fostering connection.

Even if you can’t imagine life without iconic local dishes like nasi lemak, char kway teow, or kaya toast, switching to our sugar-free and ultra-low carb ice creams and waffles allows you to indulge without compromising your health. Think of it as balance: enjoying what you love while making smarter choices.

At Ketojiak, we’re dedicated to delighting Singapore with healthier dessert options that never compromise on taste. Together, let’s take steps towards a healthier lifestyle—because everyone can benefit from a little less sugar and carbs. And yes, I’m never going back to my old weight range. 💪🙂

Thank you for supporting Ketojiak. Let’s continue making healthier, happier memories together.
