Located at Tanglin Post Office, across the road from where the iconic Rasa Singapura food centre used to stand in the 80s, this restaurant-bar employs the less fortunate — these include those suffering from hearing impairment to recovering stroke patients — all of whom work together to dish out local hawker eats in a breezy alfresco space. For best value, come with your colleagues for their weekday lunch special, where dishes like fried carrot cake, black pepper char kway teow and beef rendang with rice go for a very affordable $8 each (top up $2 for a drink). Dishes change daily, so visit their website for updates. You can also pop by for a post-work beer (from $6) and nibbles — try the New Rasa Chicken Wings (from $12 for six) and Satay (from $12 for six sticks). Prices no doubt reflect its more upmarket setting, but take comfort in the fact that the money goes to a good cause. In support of FestivalForGood!, receive a $10 return voucher with every $50 spent in the month of August.
