Japanese eatery in Chinatown offers free udon to the needy

Yesterday (10 Mar), Singapore Atrium Sale shared about Sake Labo’s initiative on their Facebook page.

On a signboard outside the eatery, Sake Labo announced that they are giving free food to folks who are “poor & hungry”.

The offer is apparently for lunch only, but they invite anyone in need to simply walk in and ask for a bowl of warm udon.

They also encourage people to inform folks they know who may benefit from the free meal to visit the eatery.

No judgement or strings attached

Speaking to MS News, a Sake Labo spokesperson explained that the initiative has been ongoing for the past 2 months or so.

Since the eatery is a concept by Hedonism Hospitality, they’re following the company’s core value of pursuing philanthropic efforts, something that Managing Director Raymond Lim also feels strongly about.

Though their original intention was to reach out to folks in need like the uncles and aunties who collect cardboard or drink cans, Sake Labo does not require recipients of the free meal to prove that they’re in need.

As the signage mentions, “No strings attached.”

A generous gesture in difficult times

Ever since the Covid-19 pandemic hit Singapore, many other establishments have also extended similarly generous offers.

cai png stall in Compassvale, for example, also had free meals for those in need.

Though the gesture may seem small to some, we’re sure those who’ve benefitted from the offers appreciate them greatly.

Therefore, if you happen to know anyone around the vicinity who’s feeling hungry during these trying times, you can suggest Sake Labo to them.

Here’s how they can find the eatery which is a 2-min walk away from Telok Ayer Station:
