HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – January 30, 2024 – Chinese New Year is a special time for families, but many foods are difficult to chew, often discouraging older adults from enjoying festive meals with loved ones and can inevitably have an impact on their mood.
Dr Lam Ching Choi, member of the Executive Council; Sylvia Chung, Director of Business Impact at Chinachem Group; Rebecca Choy Yung, founder and president of the Golden Age Foundation; and two Western chefs celebrate the launch of Golden Gourmet menus.
To address this issue, Chinachem Group is collaborating with the Golden Age Foundation (GAF) to invite a multidisciplinary team, including a nutritionist, a speech therapist and a registered nurse, to train Nina Hospitality’s Western cuisine chefs in theories and techniques. to create meals suitable for the elderly. Using original, high-quality food ingredients, they have developed a completely new series of “Golden Gourmet” dishes, which are additive-free, visually appealing and deliciously healthy. Unlike typical soft meals, these Golden Gourmet meals allow seniors to enjoy real, wholesome food, rediscover the joy of eating, enjoy family meals, and promote inclusion.
Additionally, the chef’s team is dedicated to sharing their culinary expertise to serve seniors. Since January of this year, they have been teaching dozens of volunteers how to prepare senior-friendly meals. These volunteers then used their acquired knowledge to serve the elderly in retirement homes. Chinachem Group will continue its collaboration with the Golden Age Foundation in another phase of this partnership, expanding its efforts to serve even more elderly residents and promote lasting positivity within the community.
“Chinachem Group is committed to promoting inclusion and caring for the elderly, and we are leading by example,” says Sylvia Chung, Director of Business Impact at Chinachem Group. “By collaborating with the Golden Age Foundation, we share our culinary expertise with volunteers through the team of Western chefs at our subsidiary Nina Hospitality, and offer them the opportunity to serve in retirement homes, expanding our impact on the community. Our group restaurants will also offer authentic and nutritious Golden Gourmet menus suitable for the elderly. This will enable more elderly people to enjoy a high-quality lifestyle and create positive social value, in accordance with to the Group’s commitment to balancing “people, prosperity and the planet”.
Rebecca Choy Yung, founder and president of the Golden Age Foundation, added that “the aging society generates a new market in different ways, which creates a substantial ‘golden age economic system’. The restaurant industry introduced children’s meals decades ago. she noted. “As the proportion of elderly people is steadily increasing, it is time to develop meals for the elderly, namely the “Golden Gourmet” menus that the Golden Age Foundation advocated at the Golden Age Expo and Summit in August 2023 We believe that the co-operation is crucial for the sustainability of this innovative project. We are happy to work with Chinachem Group and combine the power of different professionals including nutritionists, speech therapists, registered nurses, licensed social workers and chefs to jointly design a new series of delicious dishes. “.
