  "account": "Taryn Teh and her daughter Joyce Chin, co-founders of MAD Coffee in Puchong, turned their shared love for coffee into a successful specialty café. Teh, with 27 years of corporate experience, and Chin, a fresh graduate with e-commerce and marketing skills, opened the café in 2022. Despite having no prior experience in running a café, they took on responsibilities according to their strengths. Teh managed back-end operations like suppliers and paperwork, while Chin handled marketing, events, and research and development. To familiarize themselves with coffee, they attended a course together and experimented at home. The café, which opened in a two-story space with a minimalist Japanese-inspired aesthetic, offers a house blend along with rotating seasonal blends. Their creations include the Mont Blanc, a refreshing drink with espresso, orange-infused cream, and homemade orange syrup, and the banana Biscoff iced matcha, a fun twist on the matcha craze. The café's signature chiffon cake, with pandan and ube flavors, has become a fan favorite. For Teh and Chin, running a business together is more than just about coffee. It allows them to bounce ideas off each other and grow together, supported by their staff and customers.",
