A few days away from the roastery, but still very much about the work.
Our mid-year retreat in Penang gave us the chance to step back from our daily routines, reflect on the past six months, review our performance, and plan for what’s ahead. Sometimes, the best ideas come when you’re away from your usual surroundings.
And because we’re Smitten… our meals were planned just as seriously as our meetings. 😄
From hawker favourites and a durian feast to fiery ramen hidden in a quiet shophouse, Michelin-starred Peranakan dishes, and local tze char, we made sure we experienced Penang one meal at a time.
A good few days of conversations, good food, plenty of laughter, and returning home a little more aligned (and definitely a little fuller).
