In conjunction with International Chef's Day, World Chefs Without Borders and the Penang Chefs Association, Malaysia. prepared 600 nutritious meals with U.S. potatoes for the medical front liners at Penang and Seberang Jaya General Hospitals. This initiative was in collaboration with the Mutiara Food Bank.

The distribution is as follows:

Fish And Chips - 200pax
- 100pax - Special Care Island Glades Penang
- 100pax - Pertubuhan Pemulihan Dalam Komuniti (PDK) Kanak Kanak Autism Chicken Chops - 600pax

- 100pax - Frontliner Plaza Balik Pulau (PIC: Dr Tan)
- 300pax - Hospital Bukit Mertajam (PIC: Marton Saw)

As Malaysia prepares to move into the endemic stage, we need to appreciate all the efforts and sacrifices made by the front liners. The meals were just a simple token of Potatoes USA and US Embassy's appreciation of the incredible work that they have done. U.S potatoes are one of the most nutritious vegetables available.

Potatoes are an excellent source of vitamin C as one medium-size U.S. Potatoes (148gm) contains 27 milligrams of Vitamin C per serving, which is about 30% of a person's daily value. As we all know, Vitamin C may help support the body's immune system.

Benefits of potato consumption include:

U.S Potatoes have zero fat, zero sodium and zero cholesterol, so it's a healthier choice for meals preparation.

Potatoes are more energy-packed than any other popular vegetables as a medium-sized potato contains 26 grams of carbohydrates. It helps to fuel the body and brain throughout the day.

U.S. Potatoes are rich in Vitamin B6 with one medium potato providing 10% of the recommended daily value. Vitamin B6 is a water-soluble vitamin that plays important role in carbohydrate and protein metabolism.

One medium size skin on a potato contains 620 milligrams of potassium or 15% DV more than a medium-size banana. Potassium helps regulate fluids and mineral balance in and out of cells, maintains normal blood pressure, vital for transmitting nerve impulses or signals, and in helping muscles contract.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
