A social enterprise restaurant from Singapore grand opened in a food court in Hong Kong at end-2019. The restaurant’s concept is to help Hong Kong and the people living in the city. It provides one-stop services for people with special needs, including training, internships and assisting them in job seeking, such that they can integrate themselves into the society.

Hugo was a part-time restaurant assistant working at a restaurant in a theme park with few working days; Carol, who suffers from left hand impairment, could only handle simple duties such as clipping bread in the past, and had never had the opportunity to use a kitchen knife; Sam was responsible for preparing food ingredients in the cold store of a hotel, and had never had the opportunity to cook …

The turning point came after they started working at a social enterprise restaurant. They learned step by step, starting from basic hygiene. Today, they not only are capable of cooking Singaporean dishes, but also restore their pride in life through their work: Hugo’s life becomes stable gradually, and starts to contribute part of his income to his family; Carol is happy that there are diners admiring her noodles; Sam is fond of gourmet and dreams of opening his own dessert shop in the future.

The social enterprise restaurant makes progress alongside its members and they face the rapidly changing social environment together. The society is precarious in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, provoking unprecedented operation pressure on the restaurant. Although the restaurant persists in retaining all of its employees and not deducting their salaries, how much longer can the restaurant endure as it has not been making ends meet for a long time? Will there be chances for these members to demonstrate what they have learned with great effort in the future?
