Continuing its caring tradition and catering for those with difficulties swallowing
Aside from traditional rice dumplings made of sticky rice, Towngas has also joined hands with Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui Pilot Scheme on Multi-disciplinary Outreaching Support Teams for the Elderly (Kowloon Central Cluster), or MOSTE (KC), to launch soft-diet dumpling recipes using pureed salted egg yolk and lean meat to cater for those with difficulty swallowing.
The number of people aged 65 or above are expected to double in the upcoming 20 years. In response, Towngas has been exploring solutions to enhance the elderly’s quality of life. The soft-diet dumpling is among the company’s relevant endeavours. In addition, Towngas’ corporate volunteers have provided assistance in training carers to make soft-diet dumplings, with the hope that they can prepare them for their loved ones in need while helping alleviate the pressure they encounter as carers.
In line with the tradition of sharing the warmth with society, Towngas donated over 100,000 rice dumplings to various areas of the city to reach a cumulative total of 4.14 million dumplings donated.
