New Rasa Singapura not only provides comforting, authentic local delights with a twist, but also aims to provide employment opportunities for their beneficiaries to help integrate them back into society. Hence, throughout the month of August, they are one of eight local social enterprise eateries participating in the Singapore Centre for Social Enterprise (raiSE)'s #DineForGood as part of the inaugural #FeativalForGood.

Their black pepper char kway teow has the characteristic sweetness of the dark soy sauce, while having a fiery kick via the addition of a healthy dose of black pepper. Despite not using any lard, the noodles were still sufficiently wet and fragrant and not dry at all. Also, the prawns used were really fresh and plump and were a highlight of the dish.

Josephine, owner of New Rasa Singapura, shared with us her motivation to start this social enterprise. Recognising that there are many members of society who might not have been as fortunate as most of us, she started this social enterprise in order to give back to society. New Rasa Singapura works with various government agencies such as MINDS and IMH to provide their beneficiaries with meaningful job opportunities by simplifying their food preparation processes. As such, your patronage would go a long way in ensuring that there's a sustainable business model for them to continue to do so!

Thus, this August, be #partofthegood by dining at New Rasa Singapura! Spend $50 in one receipt and receive a voucher of $10 to be used during the next visit.

Many thanks to Josephine for hosting, and Burpple for the invite!
