A Hong Kong catering group has been donating HK$5 (64 US cents) to charity every time a customer orders selected dishes at one of their 18 outlets this December in a bid to promote the idea of sharing through food.

Patrons enjoying steamed xiao long bao at Dim Sum Bar in the Nina Mall and Harbour City or sipping sangria at Pickled Pelican British pub in Stanley are among those who have helped Café Deco Group raise money for this year’s Operation Santa Claus.

The annual charity initiative, jointly organised by the South China Morning Post and public broadcaster RTHK since 1988, is supporting 18 beneficiaries this year.

Catherine Yuen Wai-lin, director of sales and marketing at Café Deco Group, said the campaign gave customers a chance to do good simply by enjoying the foods they love.

“Café Deco wanted to do good without customers having to pay extra,” she said. “And we want to instil the idea of gifting, sharing and love through food.”

The catering group has run similar donation drives for OSC at its restaurants in the past.
