Bernie Sanders once said, “Difficult times often bring out the best in people”. Having witnessed tragedies that revealed the cold and heartless face of mankind, I used to be on the fence with this statement. However, with the recent happenings around the world, my opinions changed as stories of kindness and unconditional sacrifices unfold every day in front of me.
As we all know, the impact of COVID-19 is hitting the world hard with the continuous increase in infected cases and the vast global spread. Despite these tough times, our daily lives in Singapore seemed rather undisrupted all thanks to our tight governance and more importantly, the unsung heroes at the frontline.
To show gratitude and as a form of ‘Thank you’ to all the tireless staffs working at NCID, several notable local F&B brands like Labyrinth, Keng Eng Kee, Jam at Sirihouse, Pezzo Group and Sanity Coffee will be pooling their resources to bring about some joy to our heroes through what they know best, food and drinks.
Be it through restaurant proceeds or directly from the kitchen, these five brands will be doing their part in providing delicious food and drinks to fuel everyone, working day and night at NCID. As customers, let us also support and contribute to this meaningful effort by dining in these restaurants.
Just by enjoying good food, we are also showing our appreciation to the angels in white and the other working staff who are battling the virus at the frontline!
Aside from 20% off lunch and dinner for all NCID staff at Labyrinth, the restaurant, together with Jam At Sirihouse, will be using the following proceeds to purchase food from Keng Eng Kee and Pezzo Group.
Labyrinth
- S$20 per dinner customer

- S$40 for every full bottle of wine sold
Jam At Sirihouse

Anyone can make a difference, no matter how big or small. So, here’s a quick glimpse at what the other brands are doing to show their love and appreciation.
