Creativity and design concepts
 
We see that fish in the eyes of Chinese people means good luck and liveliness, so we hope that through the shape of carp, we can express that the elderly can leap over the dragon's gate and still be able to exert their abilities and break through limitations despite the limitations of their body functions! On the other hand, pumpkins, eggs, wolfberries, etc. are all very nutritious foods. It is hoped that the use of nutritious food in dishes can supplement the health needs of the elderly.
 
story behind
 
We have observed that many elderly people with dysphagia cannot eat festive food with their families during festivals. We really feel sorry for them. Therefore, we specially designed two dishes for two traditional Chinese festivals. We hope that the elderly can learn the names of the dishes. The meaning and appearance of the dishes allow you to feel the festive atmosphere with your relatives and friends, and even bring your children and grandchildren together to share the family relationship!
