- Krsna’s Free Meals serves hot vegetarian food to three thousand people for free every day. Most of the beneficiaries are migrant workers. But with limited manpower and a shoestring budget, how do they sustain the soup kitchen? And what is it like to do this every day?
Derek Cheong, winner of MasterChef Singapore Season 2, helps out with their Sunday meal preparations to find out.

I was so touched by the work of this charity and it prompted me to make a donation immediately. Thank you for your good work 😢
Beautiful gesture !
This is why Singapore remains a thriving culture and society.
You can't find that in most of developped Asian countries which have greed, one-race, one-culture mind, and selfish wealth vision like South Korea
It is touching to see people vendors donate with their hearts, vegetables, cucumbers, noodles, egg plants. Without those raw materials it will be hard to make a free meal.
In Singapore, we have earlier said, "There is NO free food". Now the world knows that there are many places who care for the needy. May God bless the good work!
Thanks for this awareness and charity. No doubt that anyone would be willing to donate something as they have assurance that 100% of it is not going into waste. I also applaud their government for not interfering with it. Treating migrant workers to high quality free food really boosts their morale and even them is willing to give donation themselves.
It's really heartwarming to see the goodness in the world.
Kids in America wouldn't have eaten that!
Hare Krishna! That was truly inspiring to see you volunteering and cooking for migrant workers in an ISKON facility. I really hope more people donate more to such charities!
Very touching. Kind hearted people sacrifise for those in need of "Free Food". God Bless for the amazing charity work. Thank you and take care. Cheers..
Krsna's free meals is a great place to volunteer and the food is amazing
Kudos to the vendors who donated the food and fruits too!
Please produce more of these video to raise awareness on the needies in Singapore regardless local or foreign worker. Especially these small scare charity organisations, they very much need more donation from the public. Big organisation like the Buddhist lodge have so much that they also donate them out. More of small scale charities like this please. Thank you. Appreciate these videos..
Huge kudos to Krsna's Free Meals for the good that they do. Well done!
Inspiring and so motivating to see such a generous family doing good! :)
great community service...I hope they are able to expand..appreciate them
Love this series and Derek makes it very special with his enthusiasm
Derek has a good attitude. Good job.
Role model to younger generation how to serve foods to need persons.
amazing series! and the host seems very genuine and enthusiastic.
Love this series so much. Such a high quality production.
🙏 Krsna's Free Meal Foundation should received the President's Meritorious Awards! Many Happy Good Blessings in Return to All Who came & helped out in Krsna's Free Meal to those who needed the most! 😊🙏🕯🌷🌿🌎💜🕊🇸🇬
Very heartwarming ❤ may God bless these kind souls
thank you so much Krsna’s Free Meals
God bless their hearts.
Great job ...looks Delicious 👍🇬🇧
So much good veggies donated by vendors to feed the hungry migrant workers free of charges. Where else can you find such kind effort undertaken by the local to migrants, unfortunately only in Singapore. 🤫
Thank you for providing food for the needy. It is a very good deed
In a climate inundated with doomsday news, this series and features like this are a much needed breath of fresh air. I did not know about Krsna's work and want to get behind their mission.
Great souls ❤
i prefer this guy over the lady as a host.
So generous 😂😂❤❤
Thank you very much ❤
God bless them!
Bayam sambar is so healthy and nutritious, can help people with anemia ❤
Amazing people
Their government should 100% reimburse this!
very good
Lovely people
Appreciate the coverage of this great place. But it felt like questions were asked like an interrogation rather than a discussion or interview. It felt quite serious for a more joyous event.
❤❤❤ Amazing act of kindness & dedications all Year round without any off days .
🙏 May GOD continue to pour in the funds , foods , volunteers in abundance & protect & Bless Everyone involved in this mega project of ❤ .😘
I forgot the winner of MasterChef 2090
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Why do other chefs require to wear a hat, mask, or even gloves, but he was excluded?
That 100 was planted
he's sweating and no mask, no hat, nothing at all. his sweat, hair can go into the food lol
DEREK CHEONG lol
Hot put the plastic ,that changed the cancer .
Billion dollar global insight - sell military MREs (Meal Ready to Eat) in vacuum sealed packaging (quick microwave (check with military if can be microwaved safely) or immerse packet in hot water to warm up - install hot water dispenser in migrant hostel at each floor level) to migrant workers, cheap, fast and food safe. Here is the key selling point to decision makers: 1. Reduced national or global workers who get sick from eating spoilt food or living in unhygienic environments (from food waste) to max bosses profits as construction projects do not get delayed. Delay in delivering projects on time result in significant contractual breaches and fines for bosses. Big problem when cannot upgrade to new luxury car, or buy another investment property so can donate gains to charities. Need to frame everything proposed to bosses in terms of money and how it affects bosses, I mean company reputation/benefits. 2. Builds goodwill between company and government as it keeps the military MREs inventory fresh and reduce excess stock that would otherwise have expired and need to pay for the expired items to be destroyed. 3. Another source of revenue stream for government so government can replenish her treasury to max charity donations or welfare to the unfortunate, sick and poor.
Kids in gaza could have used those meals!
you can cook and serve them.
Kids in Israel too. They were not even fed during their 50 days of Palestinian 'hospitality'. Lost 12 to 15 kg which is a lot for a child! They can't even speak about the horrors they've undergone. Hamas was voted in legally by the palestinians. They live for hatred of innocent neighbors. So they wildly attack them time and again. Until one day, they made it into a full blown war. Unspeakable horrors were done to Israeli normal people. For no reason whatsoever. So Israel is forced to fight back.
If that makes palestinian children suffer now TOO, it's all the palestinians OWN FAULT. Don't throw a boomerang to kill others with. It returns.
Pls go to Gaza and see their dramas
So its not free then. They probably make money from donations.....
It's run by Krishna temple. So people donate in temple.
If you watched until the end, it's only on the fourth year that they started to take a small allowance for themselves. And I believe that they don't really need to get or make money because they almost have no time to spend it with the amount of work that they do everyday. Plus since they became very known, their operating cost just keeps getting bigger.
Even then the food is free the donation box is just there so the people who come and take dont feel bad for just being on the recieving end
so obvious that you didn't watch the show..
getting donations does not mean it's not still free dumbass
