Chinese Dragon Café, the pioneering restaurant in Sri Lanka’s Chinese restaurant sphere, engaged in an innovative and noble corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiative. The restaurant chain provided a delicious and a nourishing meal and milk powder to less privileged children at Hendala Preethipura Children’s Home and Hendala Preethipura Infants’ Home on the World Food Day that fell on October 16.

With the tag line of ‘Meal to Remember’, Chinese Dragon Café’s CSR initiative provided lunch for over 100 children at the childrens home and milk powder to its infants home. Portions of revenue made by Chinese Dragon Café restaurants in Bambalapitiya, Rajagiriya, Mt. lavinia, Colombo Fort and Wattala were used to raise funds for the CSR programme.

A native Chinese couple who came to our country in 1942 started Chinese Dragon Café restaurant in Bambalapitiya. Conventional Chinese cuisine provided by the restaurant to locals became immensely popular among them subsequently. For 73 years Chinese Dragon Café has been catering to Sri Lankan consumers with over 300 delicious recipes. 

Currently the restaurant chain is popular for its mouth-watering dishes of Hot Butter Cuttlefish, Seafood Fried Rice, Chilli Chicken, Chilli Paste as well as localized Chinese food dishes. The taste of food at Chinese Dragon Café is unique and one has to definitely experience that by visiting one of its restaurants.Chinese Dragon Café Managing Director Naishadh Udeshi said, “We have been in the sphere for over seven decades and it is our responsibility to initiate such CSR programmes. Hence, a portion of our revenue went into this Meal to Remember CSR initiation on World Food Day. I grant my gratitude to our customers who directly and indirectly supported this noble endeavour.” 

He also mentioned that a CSR programme involving food is very appropriate for Chinese Dragon Café.

The ambience of Chinese Dragon Café plays a primary role in attracting families, groups of friends, locals and foreigners to patronize its restaurants eager to sooth their taste buds. Exceptional service provided by experienced and friendly staff is significant too.
