At Kinera, a good meal is the highlight of your parent’s day. We cook home-style Chinese food in our own kitchen, planned for older bodies and for recovery after surgery.
“Food is one of life’s joys, at any age. Nutritious meals can be full of flavour, and a good meal should be the highlight of your parent’s day.”
Sally, Founder
Why food matters more after 60
Older bodies need more from every meal
Nearly 1 in 3
Nearly 1 in 3 older Malaysians is malnourished (7.3%) or at risk of it (23.5%), according to the National Health and Morbidity Survey 2018.
More protein
Experts recommend 1.0 to 1.2 g of protein per kg of body weight each day for healthy older adults, and 1.2 to 1.5 g during illness or recovery.
Flavour helps them eat
Studies in nursing homes found better flavour and more variety help older residents enjoy meals and eat more.
What goes on every plate
Nutritious food your parent will want to eat
- Protein at every meal. Fish, chicken, eggs and tofu, spread across the day.
- Less salt and sugar, more flavour. Ginger, garlic, spring onion, herbs and slow-cooked stock.
- Textures they can manage. Soft, minced or pureed, based on how your parent chews and swallows.
- Fibre and fluids. Vegetables, fruit, soups and regular drinks to keep digestion comfortable.
- Food that looks like a meal. Plated with colour, served warm, eaten together at the table.
From our recovery menu · 术后调理
Swipe through our menu
After surgery, the body needs extra protein to heal and rebuild muscle, while appetite is often low. Here are 15 dishes and soups from our menu, served as one-person portions. Dishes marked Soft diet are soft and moist, mash easily with a fork and need little chewing, with no bones, nuts or stringy vegetables. Any dish can also be minced or pureed for your parent.

Questions about food
What food do you serve elderly residents at Kinera?
Home-style Chinese meals cooked fresh in our own kitchen in Cheras. Every meal has protein, such as fish, chicken, eggs or tofu, with vegetables, rice or noodles, and soup. Our menu runs for four weeks and includes local favourites like nasi lemak and Hainanese chicken rice.
What should an elderly parent eat after surgery?
Protein at every meal to help wounds heal and rebuild muscle, vitamin C from fruit and vegetables, and fibre and water to prevent constipation. Soft, familiar food works best while appetite is low, such as steamed fish, steamed egg, fish slice mee sua and double-boiled soups. Always follow the diet advice from your parent’s doctor.
Do you deliver post-surgery meals to homes in the Klang Valley?
Yes. We deliver recovery meals within 30 km of our centre in Cheras. WhatsApp us on 017-548 6398 with your address and the number of days you need.
Can you prepare soft food for seniors who have trouble chewing or swallowing?
Yes. We adjust texture for each resident, from soft and minced to pureed, following the advice of their doctor or speech therapist. We plate every meal so it still looks and tastes like real food.
Can you cook for diabetes, high blood pressure or other diet needs?
Yes. Tell us your parent’s diet instructions and we plan their meals around them, such as low salt, low sugar or softer food. We also ask what they love to eat, so their meals stay enjoyable.
