Shou Zen

We are a regular visitor to this authentic Japanese restaurant in Sheung Wan. Please refer to my Hong Kong Asian Restaurant blog post.

Outside the restaurant, instead of fountains and Japanese gardens, are donation boxes and information brochures for Benji's Center, Hong Kong's first speech therapy non-profit organization dedicated to helping children from low-income families. Profits from Shou Zen are donated to Benji's Center which aims to integrate these children into society. Established in 2004, the center provides therapy for more than 2500 children and teens from families with speech issues.
​
It is heartwarming to know that there are restaurants in Hong Kong that is not all about making a profit, but contributing to society and helping those in need at the same time. It makes me feel blessed to enjoy excellent food and help someone in need at the same time. We ought to support restaurants that make a real contribution to our community and make the world a better place.
