Meet Hui Li, winner of our “Name Your Own Bowl” competition at Gleneagles Hospital, Singapore.

Hui Li took part in the campaign at GEH, where we invited the community to create and name a bowl that reflected their own tastes, routines and approach to wellness.

That is one of the things that makes freshpod different. Each kiosk can be shaped by the people it serves, with unique menus, local preferences and customer feedback helping us create meals that feel relevant to that community.

For Hui Li, freshpod was already part of her routine.

“I was genuinely shocked but in the best way! Been a freshpod fan since the vending machine first appeared at GEH.”

Her wellness journey began with a simple desire to make a change. After being overweight according to her BMI, she wanted to take better care of herself but did not know where to begin. That changed when her husband introduced her to weightlifting.

Over time, Hui Li learned that exercise was only one part of the equation.

“I’ve learned that what I eat directly affects my performance in the gym, my recovery, and even my focus throughout the day.”

That is where freshpod has become especially valuable during busy workdays at GEH.

“Some days are more structured with meal preparation, while on more relaxed days, a quick option like a freshpod bowl at Gleneagles Hospital becomes my go to meal. It’s healthy, convenient, and delicious, and it also allows me to easily track its nutritional value.”

When building a bowl, Hui Li prioritises protein first, followed by crunchy vegetables, flavour and convenience. She has tried almost every ingredient available at the GEH kiosk and especially enjoys fresh cucumber, broccoli and the spicy honey miso yogurt sauce.

“No more sad, repetitive lunches. Some days I want extra protein, other days I prefer more greens, and having the option to customise means I never feel like I’m eating healthy as punishment.”

Her regular go-to combination includes satay chicken, sweet potato, charred corn kernels, fresh cucumber, chili roasted broccoli and spicy honey miso yogurt sauce.

Before freshpod, busy days without meal prep made it harder for Hui Li to find meals that supported her goals while still feeling balanced and enjoyable.

“Now, I actually look forward to having a more balanced meal from the freshpod vending machine, where I can easily combine protein, vegetables, and quality carbs in one convenient and satisfying bowl.”

Her winning bowl, “The OG”, was personal. It reflected her original freshpod combination, the one she keeps coming back to.

“For me, I thought about how every branding has an OG, which represents the original, the classic, the one you always come back to. That’s exactly what my bowl represents.”

A great reminder that sustainable wellness does not need to be complicated. It can start with one meal, one habit and one bowl that feels like your own.

And with freshpod, every location can have its own flavour, shaped by the people who use it every day.
