Dignity Kitchen

618 Shanghai Street is an interesting place.  It is a row of old terraced houses that have been renovated to house shops and restaurants.  As opposed to being completely torn down to build faceless, tasteless, glass and concrete towers.  

In particular, there is Dignity Kitchen, a Singaporean-style restaurant run as a social enterprise.  The atmosphere is casual and warm.  

The food is good and reasonably priced.  

The servers are courteous, efficient and helpful.  

The clients are mostly young, with many families.  Polite.

They train disabled and disadvantaged people, give them jobs and dignity.  A young man offered to clean our table as soon as my wife and I sat down.  Only after he was finished then I noticed that his right hand was crooked.  That did not hamper his work.  

Come and support them.  Note that they do not open on Sunday. 

There are some other interesting shops there as well.  Come and discover.
