Social Enterprises Off and Running：The Respect That Can Be Tasted

It is never easy to run a restaurant, and it is definitely more difficult to run a restaurant as a social enterprise (SE) operated by persons with disabilities.

Singaporean SE founder KOH Seng-choon fearlessly brought his SE restaurant Dignity Kitchen to Hong Kong. People suffering from various disabilities and the underprivileged are employed and trained for different positions in the restaurant, to put into practice an SE restaurant actually operated by persons with disabilities.

In this episode, singer Vincy CHAN, who has lived in Singapore and loves the local cuisine, is invited to visit the Dignity Kitchen, learn to cook Singaporean cuisine from staff with disabilities and experience working as a waitress. During the process, apart from enjoying the delicious food, the most important thing is the bits and bites Vincy experiences when she works with persons with disabilities.

Through Vincy’s participation, our audience can have a better understanding on the working ability of persons with disabilities, and how SEs let them play to their strengths.
