>Reported by Lin Yi-ying

>Written by Lydia Ma

With Chinese New Year holidays just around the corner, many folks  are

already fretting over what to cook for New Year’s Eve dinner  when

>friends and families come home.

For those hesitating on whether to order take out food because it  might

be too oily and unhealthy, Mackay Memorial Hospital has designed

New Year recipes that contain only 888 calories per individual  serving.

What’s more, the information is available to all free of  charge.

According to hospital staff, this recipe book includes recipes for

preparing fish, meat, vegetables, fruits, and desserts. According  to Dr.

Tsai I-hsien , head dietitian at Mackay, small adjustments such as  using other types of grains

instead of glutinous rice will go a long way in reducing calories  without compromising taste.

Mackay Hospital also held a cooking demonstration on January 25  and gave out free samples

for people to taste and see. To download Chinese New Year recipes,  refer to:
