SINGAPORE – For about two years since her diet changed to soft meals , Madam Chin Chieu Hoye, who turns 100 this year, had not visited a restaurant due to the limited options available.

On Jan 12, she was treated to a seven-course meal – with dishes like steamed cod fish fillet with minced ginger and stewed beancurd with minced beef – at Imperial Treasure restaurant at Great World. These classic dishes were adapted into soft meals for diners with swallowing and chewing difficulties.
