In case you missed it, Singapore’s going into “sort of” a lockdown.
While it’s different from Malaysia’s movement control order, the effects are similar, at least on PHV and taxi drivers.
Previously, they’ve already felt a huge hit from the lack of arrivals.
Then entertainment venues closed.
And now, their situation’s going to be made worse when 7 Apr comes.
Most people are going to work from home, if at all, and social activities are cut down to a minimum.
Which is Why This Group of Restaurants Are Going Out Of Their Way To Help Them
According to a Facebook post uploaded by House of Thai Kitchen, they are going to give two set meals at their participating outlets for free to taxi and PHV drivers daily.
“With the ongoing economy crisis and covid 19 situation, everyone is going through a tough period in their life and business.”
The giveaway will start from 6 Apr at 1pm and will last for the entire month of April.
To collect, drivers have to flash their Vocational License when they collect their food.
Each set comes with a drink, a main course, dessert and cutlery.
As per the social distancing measures implemented by the government, this is a grab and go programme so drivers don’t have to crowd around and wait for that long.
They went one step further to clarify that while they will not use pork or lard in the takeaway sets, they are not a halal-certified restaurant.
Here Are The Details:
The collection timings are as follow:
- 1pm to 4pm
- 1am to 4am
Locations to collect from:
House Of Thai (Outside Thai Supermarket): 5001 Beach Road, Golden Mile Complex, #02-01, S 199588
Cheese Story Mookata Buffet (Parklane Outlet): 35 Selegie Road, Parklane Shopping Mall, #01-10 (Beside Taxi Stand), S 188307
It’s so great to see that even though F&B outlets aren’t going through a better time, they’re still more than happy to help others in need.
This is an initiative organised by seven restaurants:
- Cheese Story Mookata Buffet – Parklane Branch
- NINJA Cheese Mookata Buffet
- Cheese Story Mookata Buffet
- House of Thai Kitchen
- Boat Story Thai Boat Noodle
- Gangnam Story Korean Steamboat & BBQ buffet 강남스토리
