SINGAPORE: When a hungry cyclist found out he didn’t have money for a meal at Little Caesars at Northshore Plaza, a food delivery rider and a cashier surprised him by chipping in enough money so he could have a pizza and a drink — just the Northshore Plaza food he wanted.
The grateful cyclist thanked the two kind women for the Northshore Plaza food and posted their photos on the @sgfollowsall Instagram account on Monday (Mar 27), writing, “Thank you both! ❤”

“I was cycling with my friends when we decided to stop at Northshore Plaza to eat as we were all hungry. Upon entering Little Caesers to eat, I realised I did not have enough money as we wanted to eat somewhere cheaper at first. I tried asking my friends if they had money but they dint have any spare,” wrote the post author.
This conversation was overheard by a “food panda aunty waiting to collect her order”. She asked how much money the cyclist needed for his pizza and gave him what he needed.
But the kindness did not stop there.
The cashier of Little Caesars saw what the foodpanda rider had done and then offered to treat the cyclist to a drink, knowing that he would be thirsty after his pizza.
“She took money from her wallet and proceeded to pay for my drink,” the cyclist added, grateful for the Northshore Plaza food and drink he had, thanks to the foodpanda rider and the Little Caesars cashier.
Commenters on the post praised the two women for their kindness.
Others encouraged the cyclist to “pay it forward,” and help others when he, too, has a chance.
Others, however, criticised him for taking the women’s money.
Another commenter wrote, “I feel that there are a few things that we can learn from this boy.
- A heart of gratefulness.
- He has the desire to thank and honour back as some may just take it and move on. I believe he has the good intention to thank back thru actual actions.
- I believe with the above 2, he will carry on what these 2 ladies had done when he grows up and have the means as an adult.”
This is the second time in a month that a foodpanda rider went out of their way to show kindness to someone. /TISG
