James Wong is a man of routine. Every morning, the 63-year-old resident of San Francisco’s Sunset District meets his friends for some tai-chi exercise. Then they decide where to eat lunch. It’s usually at one of three senior centers in the southwest corner of the city. There they can get a hot meal, perhaps even freshly cooked, for $2.
Recently, Wong and his crew have added a new element to their routine: dinner at S & E Café or Prince Cooking, two Hong Kong-style cafes that are part of an innovative new program. It allows seniors to choose from a special menu of healthy Chinese American favorites and dine with friends and family whenever they want.
