Located in The Enabling Village (near Redhill MRT), a community of individuals and organisations that serve people with special needs, Soul Food Enterprise is a modern European restaurant that trains youths with learning disabilities in kitchen skills. Founder Gerald Png was inspired by his daughter Cheryl, who has learning disabilities but a keen interest in cooking. Today, Cheryl is one of nine kitchen trainees coached in various cooking methods and techniques. The cosy 40-seater restaurant opens for walk-in lunch from Tuesdays to Fridays (noon-2pm). Lunch is often a two or three-course affair ($25-$30) with dishes like potato and leek cream soup, barbecued prime pork ribs with fusilli pasta and salad and salted walnut chocolate brownie with caramel sauce. Dinners and Saturday meals are by reservation only. The restaurant is closed on Sundays, Mondays and public holidays.
Avg price: $30 per person
