There are many unfortunate people around the world, who need our help. Those that were born to this world with disabilities, those that were abandoned by their parents from young, those that were imprint with diseases the moment they enter this world. With the recent fiascos in our local charity scene, namely the NKF, and Ren Ci saga, I believe Singaporeans faith in the establishments are shaken, and donations have greatly reduced.
But we should not abandon those who need our help, just because of a few black sheep. This children’s day, 1 Oct 2008, needy children in Cambodia born with cleft facial deformities will have reasons to smile. In celebration of Hock Lam Beef’s 97th Anniversary, the renowned eatery at Far East Square, well known for its traditional beef broth will be partnering Operation Smile Singapore to donate all proceeds of the day and operating costs to provide life-changing treatments and surgeries for children in Cambodia born with facial deformities.
Special set lunch menus which include the famous traditional beef broth prepared in 13 herbs and spices, vegetables, slice beef, noodle and drink set will be served for the oneday only charity birthday party. Priced between $15 - $20, patrons will be able to enjoy a new dining experience with “gan lao mian” cooked in specially concocted sauce, and tantalizing beef served in selection of tripe, shin, sliced and ball form with home-made chilli.
