Sodexo launches new Signature Dish by Celebrity Chef McDang for Premium Health Care

Sodexo launches special Thai signature dish ‘Marinated Dory with Fresh Mango Salsa, served with Egg Fried Rice’ by Celebrity Chef McDang - ML Sirichalerm Svasti, Sodexo Thailand Food Ambassador and culinary adviser. This dish will be served to inpatients at hospitals in the Bangkok Dusit Medical Services Group. Great emphasis was placed on health and nutritional value (fabulous taste and presentation was taken for granted!). “Sodexo is the World leader in Quality of Daily Life Solutions. Our 2,000 staff in Sodexo Thailand design,manage and deliver an unrivalled array of On-site Service Solutions; these services include Technical Facilities, Food, Energy, Clinical Technology, Landscaping, Laundry and Projects Management. On this occasion we have taken our food services to a new level by creating more value for inpatients, introducing a dish that is nutritionally balanced to aid their swift recovery” said Stuart Winters, CEO of Sodexo Thailand and Regional Director of Sodexo Thailand, Malaysia and Laos. Working closely with Sodexo’s Corporate Chef Cheewin Kachendecha, head of staff training and our nutritionist team, due diligence was given to protein, carbohydrate and calorie content whilst taking nothing away from McDang’s flare, creativity and passion for his native cuisine. The main ingredients in ‘Marinated Dory with Fresh Mango Salsa and Egg Fried Rice’ provide many health benefits. Dory fish is low in fat and is high in omega-3 fatty acids which helps prevent the accumulation of saturated fat or cholesterol that causes blood clots, reducing the risk of heart disease, lowering blood pressure, aiding in the development of the brain and relieving the effect of rheumatoid arthritis. Moreover, ripe mango is low in carbohydrate, rich in antioxidants; vitamin A, beta carotene, vitamin E and minerals; especially good for patients experiencing pregnancy, high fever, respiratory problems, kidney disease and constipation. On the 22nd, in the foyer of Bangkok Medical Center, Sodexo Food Ambassador Chef McDang is showcasing his signature dish and will give the audience the chance to taste his Healthy Menu creation. The dish will be served straight from Sodexo’s new ‘Tempasure Trolley’, an electromotive IPD food service trolley that has dual temperature control to keep hot and cold food at the perfect level so that meals are always served fresh to patients. Sodexo is the sole distributor of the trolleys which have been imported from Korea. They are now being used in several hospitals of the Bangkok Dusit Medical Services Group. This dish will be available for inpatients on a Regular Diet at Bangkok Dusit Medical Services Group Hospitals where patients can choose to have it as a lunch or dinner main course replacement from their daily regular Oriental, Western, Japanese or Arab menu from the 15th of July 2011 till the end of the year. Dr. Chatree Duangnet, CEO of Bangkok Hospital Medical Center said “Food plays an important role in our patient care process. The right diet is crucial for aiding patient’s swift recovery. Consideration must be given to special needs especially for those of a senior age group or subject to a specific diet where nutritional discipline is essential. This is why we have to involve Dieticians in our menu development”. About Chef McDang ML Sirichalerm Svasti (Chef McDang) is Thailand’s leading food expert, chef and writer.
