In addition to the creamy risotto with charred gai lan and plump prawn and ricotta dumplings, there’s another line getting attention in the menu of Parkdale’s new Then and Now restuarant. It reads: “We provide a living wage to all team members, so tips are optional but not required.”

In the same market stall in al Khokha, our investigations revealed sacks of flour and rice, also with large lettering saying “not
