A most unusual kitchen

(Updated: )

Deep-fried hot dogs and chicken nuggets – that's what nursing home residents were served. Until Ang Kian Peng who leads Soup Restaurant Group’s corporate social responsibility came up with the idea to serve them homecooked-style meals... prepared by prison inmates and folks with disabilities.

About the show:

To mark its 20th anniversary in 2019, Channel NewsAsia will celebrate 20 individuals whose imagination, talents and efforts have uplifted their communities here in Asia. These are people who have seen a situation that they wanted to improve and have committed to the necessary action to do so. 

These individuals come from diverse backgrounds and work in diverse fields, affecting diverse groups. But what unifies them is the enterprising spirit, the innovative streak and the selfless trait, that is evident of a thriving and booming Asian region.
