Dignity Kitchen

Why it matters: founded in 2010 by social entrepreneur Koh Seng Choon, this Boon Keng hawker centre runs all seven of its stalls with differently-abled and disadvantaged colleagues, from hearing-impaired bakers to a kopi master fluent in sign language. Braille-marked registers and height-adjusted counters make every stall accessible, and the whole operation is halal-certified. Order the wanton mee or claypot rice, and go for breakfast or an early lunch – it’s open Mon-Sat 8am-3pm only, closed Sundays and public holidays.
