9 Feb 2013 - Fresenius Medical Care (FMC), the world's largest integrated provider of products and services for dialysis treatment, held a cooking competition hosted by At 19 Culinary Studio on 19 Jan 2013. This cooking competition was organised as part of FMC's CSR project aimed at creating a healthier society. Nurses and patients from 4 dialysis centres in Peninsular Malaysia showed off their cooking skills in "So you think you can cook? Wok it!" competition rivalling Masterchef Malaysia.
The cooking competition was monitored and judged by professional chefs, Chef Ryan Khang of myNourishment magazine, At 19's very own Chef Khai and FMC's MD, Mr Lim Shiow Shong. The cooking focused on healthy food for dialysis patients. As Mr Lim shares "Studies show that about 60% of dialysis patients suffer diabetes and hypertension due to unhealthy eating habits. Our average diet contains too much sugar, salt and fat". The cooking event ended with dinner and the launch of a cook book comprising recipes of dishes suitable for dialysis patients.
Everyone enjoyed themselves and the cooking competition also built teamwork and strengthen relationships amongst the nursing staff and patients. If you are looking at organising a cooking event or a CSR activity with a twist, you can call us at 016-377 8236 or e-mail at19culinary [at] yahoo.com.
