The coolest thing is those trollies* that self deliver and reheat. Saves so much time and effort.
Carts
This sure beats boiled chicken and beef patties at American Hospitals.
Jose Olivares wooh what hospitals cause when I see my grandma the food looks like the one in the video
Asian hospital, especially SEA
I'm Israeli and when I was in the hospital for 2 weeks beacause of the asthma attack it was really good food for free, hospital food, it was couscous soup, a chicken wing and one of those chocolate shots or whatever y'all call them, I was 7 I dunno how I can even remember but Germany does pay for 80% of our hospitals because of WW2 soo that explains how they can afford it...
And then people wonder why the lifespan in America is so low
How long has it been since you've been to a hospital? Even better, which piece of shit hospitals are you choosing to go to?
I like it how they separated the kitchen for halal n non halal
Yourpij • they have to
Cook-chill? I only eat fresh frozen.
ah yes

You're one cultured butter👀
I work in a hospital kitchen, we prepare and plate 1500 meals fresh every day (no cook and chill). We have
3 different normal menues to choose from (1 normal with meat, 1 lighter with maybe fish or chicken, no fried food, 1 vegetarian),
2 different sugar free option menues with only full grain for diabetics (and everyone else that wants full grain/less calories option) with 1200/1400 or 1600 cal/day (diabetics ofc get whatever amount of bread units they want/need in a day)
1 light and easy digestible version for diabetics/others with 1200/1400 or 1600 cal/day
4 menus for after surgeries or stomach problems (stage 1-4 depending on how much the patient can have), only light and easy digestible items
1 soft menu (only softer stuff, like long cooked meat, mash potato, soft cooked veggies) for old people or people with issues chewing
1 creamy menu for people who can`t swallow good, 1 very creamy/sieved version, 1 only liquid
1 menu for after bariatric surgery
1 salt free menu for dialysis
They can have options without: gluten, dairy/lactose, fructose, histamine and ofc any food allergy like egg/nuts/sesame/soy whatever - also vegan is possible.
If they want something special we usually prepare it also, for example patients in palliative care who have special wishes, or long term patients want only certain things, we fix it for them.
Every menu includes soup, salad, main and dessert.
I admit it`s not always the most tasty food, but we need to consider all dietary needs and we always try to do our best, using fresh ingredients, lots of fresh veggies, salads, fresh fruit. We can`t use much oil/butter/fats and can`t fry or bake things but we can use most spices and herbs to make a better taste. (The normal menus is actually pretty tasty though, because that one we can use everything)
We make healthy meals and what patients can have in a hospital. We are responsible for what goes into every dish for each patient, if the wrong patient would get the wrong food we could seriously harm them. Everybody in the kitchen who is getting in touch with the food, from the executive chef to the kitchen help must know what they are doing and what they can and can`t use to meet all the dietary requirements and avoid any mistakes.
Most people talk bad about hospital food but don`t think at all what goes into it. You are in a hospital not a restaurant.
Our workday starts at 6 am with preparing breakfast and goes on until 6 pm when we are done preparing dinner. It`s long days, but it`s also a satisfying work.
Thank you for all you do.
@@lipitasar3683 Thank you for your nice comment! :)
Your food tasted shit
@@DenisShitposter Thank you for your comment Karen. I guess now you want to speak to a manager? 😁
@@irrsinnslicht1 nah just sayin hospital food tasted shit you know
Bruhh. My aunt is a cook in a hospital kitchen and they literally just give food that's easiest to make, doesnt matter if it gives you 3 different types of diabetes in one
Anna Babus HMMMM HIGH BLOOD SUGARS I FEEL - Yoda
Idk why but I find it satisfying when he says “chiller”
If only hospital food here tasted good. I remember my grandpa was in the hospital and he loved the food, and when he told the nurses about it, they were really shocked because 90% of the time, people dislike it.
I often heard hospital meals are so plain and not much variation, and even I thought they only serve porridge. But a week ago I was hospitalized for a week because of diabetes (I'm still in my 20's, never hit 50kg weight but still got diabetes just in 3 months without activity or work out due to covid19) and I didn't expect the hospital meals were not that bad, and even some of them were so tasty. They also carefully didn't give me tea and dessert with sugar, and did custom meal for diabetes. That was very bitter sweet experience for me. Now my perspective of hospital meals are changed.
"halal kitchen and non-halal kitchen"
halal kitchen
chinese kitchen
It's Singapore so religion is allowed.
Some places there will be an additional distinction “Chinese Vegetarian”, "Halal", "Non Halal" so this isn’t a surprise.
James Shaw No it the Law actually because most of Muslim can travel and have wars their and it illegal to have haram food for Muslim or if their stop making Muslim righteous their will shut down it.
Is it just me or do hospital meals hit different?
edit:idk about the hospital meals in other countries but i absolutely love the meals at singaporean hospitals especially if i’m unwell.
Hit?
They hit alright, hit the bottom of the god damn trash can 😷😷😷
@@kuhntzzz it's delicious here. Not all rich taste ofc. It's alright for sick people. Rich taste food is too much for me when I'm sick.
I remember i went to hospital in Boston, so a top tier hospital, I requested fries and they gave me an uncooked potato 🙃 i wish I could make that up
Taste bland at my country.
Was warded here before. Despite the circumstances, I was grateful for everyone there. I was treated so well. Love ntf ❤️
One thing is the Ng Teng Fong Hospital seems to be serving pre cut fruits, they brought from those factories. Their food tasted great, but the freshest is not there since they pre-cook and microwave everything.
@Johnston Steiner no need to spend so much. Just go to a hawker centre.
its really nice to see a new perspective of food through the different lens and this ep rlly touched upon the area where few has given its appreciation for - its never easy working in these environment where every detail of the patient's dietary is so sensitive so good job to these people!!!
I was one of those people. But Jesus healed me. What can i say except for the rest of my life, i will serve Jesus with my heart soul and spirit and money. Alot of people, jostle and wrestle to increase savings or splurge on themselves. But i spend only the very minimal. After Jesus provided me with enough savings to live minimally for the rest of my life, i went to take up a menial but relaxing good pay job so that i can contribute to tv evangelism of Jesus and the needy in my family. Jesus then sent the very best chefs to sell great palace kind of food at dirt cheap price in my neighbourhood to please my palate so that i dont lose out on any luxury. How i love Jesus for loving me even in small things. Life is not a race. Those who treats life as a race, risk going to hospital. The meaning of life is love wisely.
Wait hospitals in countries other than England have security gates?
In the uk you just walk in and around.
I went to a hospital today, and in mu country there isn't any security gates anywhere. I could literally walk straight into a surgery if I wanted.
Same in Turkey you just walk in. But hospitals should be secured.
in the united states they usually have metal detectors for when you walk in or security officers, especially in urban areas, but if youre in a suburban or rural hospital the security is more lax
i think in Asia especially on countries like Singapore, South Korea, Japan etc. they have some private-owned hospitals who are quite fancy and have tighter security. Here in Indonesia you can see the difference too between public, government-owned hospitals who are just as mediocre and the other private ones who has big and modern building with a bit better security
I’m a nurse who’s worked in various settings. In our urban peds hospital, anyone can come into the lobby, but everyone must go through a metal detector to access the elevators and you need a patient code to enter the floor wards. At our urban adult hospital, you only need to go through security/metal detectors when entering the ER, the rest of the hospital is a free for all. At the smaller suburban hospital I’m at now, all visitors need a visitor badge from security after 8pm and they scan your ID to make a badge, but there’s no metal detectors. I was a fan of working where we had metal detectors...you never know when a crazy with a gun is going to walk in (in the US at least).
"We have a lot of food to cook. We start by skipping the spices; that saves time. Then we cook in advance. All of our meals are fresh-frozen. Finally we quickly heat everything in a microwave. Puree is our favorite word in the kitchen."
Lots of regulations to follow
These hospital meals actually look good for the patient, with well-cooked and plentiful veggies. A lot of hospitals just serve quick and easy junk food, though with the option of a salad.
Sounds like aircraft food.
aircraft food is amazing
The difference is the amount of spice and preservatives. Airline food is generally unhealthy.
amazing!! keep up the good work !! the meals looks good,especially the greens 😋
Thank you for your hard work. Really appreciate it
Yes! SAF COOKHOUSE next please!!!!!!!!
0:37 - 0:46 everyone has that one teacher that speaks like that “...for our pa-tients.”
Aww that separation team for halal n non-halal food 2:25❤️
Prison cookhouse please
Wow. I found this video very fascinating. Kind of wish it was longer tbh.
See you guys in 3 years when this is back in your recommend c:
I think this is such an interesting job. It's a lot of pressure because you are ensuring one of the most important things for the health and happiness of ill people. There are so many dietary needs you need to consider. It's really insightful to hear about the people who are behind this work. And the food looks delicious!
I live in a small town and the hospital hand cooks for people who are recovering from surgery who haven’t eaten for awhile and they made the best French toast I have ever had.
this video makes me feel good about our world
When I was doing some clinical work as a cna, the place I was at cooked the same meals for everyone. If the patient couldn’t chew, they had the same food in a purée form. However, before they could cook, the nurses had these meal tickets that had specific food or dietary restrictions which the cooks in the hospital would make.
Great work done by them..👍
This is defo way better than the slab of reheated food served in U.K. hospitals 🤢
Need to move to Singapore
This is *such* good content to me.
The kitchen is so clean and organized
One of my fond memories of overseas hospitals was food. It was quite nice.
Calling it. This will get millions of views 3 years from now. See you everyone from the future!
Damm It look so nice and simple.
Ng Teng Fong is a relatively new hospital, opened in 2015. Hence able to introduce these new technology into the system. Interesting~
There are good people in the world!
I was in this hospital in Asia where you can choose up to 8 choice of menu per day, 3 for breakfast, 2 for lunch, and 3 for dinner.
Here before it gets million of views
Take a shot everytime they say patient
That actually looks nice and tasty.
you want a medal dude? you're a chef - making food is YOUR JOB so go do it and stop seeking praise
when I was in inpatient for the first 4 days the only thing I was served was 2 coffee creamers and seasoning packets at every meal.
What ? what were you inpatient for
@@trevor7520 I dont get the question
@@oliayo4426 What were you at the hospital for
@@trevor7520 psych ward
@@oliayo4426 :( oh those r never fun.. you'd think they'd feed you though good lord
Neat
I been hospitalized and this kind of food gives me post operative depression, I want some comfort food if I am ever dying again.
Wow
I was literally at the West Valley Medical Center here in Caldwell last week cause

How is cook-chill different from just cooking food and putting into fridge for serving later?
i just want to say that i watch this in 2019

👍👍👍
Hospital meals in aus are like firat class. So good

Worlds better than german hospital food
Hah at least the food at ur hospitals r edible meanwhile the one that i usually go to when i was young when i was sick the food was like inedible meat be like chewy af more chewy than a bubblegum and the veggy r like at the verge of expire and dont let me get started on abt the taste
1:06 why they cook the vegetables for them because I was in hospital for appendicitis and they did not cook my vegetables so I am ranting on hospital food
Private hospital’s food is better than Government hospital.
Meanwhile my diet is a dump i get junk food
I misheard executive chef as gay chef
Halal section and Chinese Kitchen.
Can someone explain to me what Hala and Non-Hala is ?
it's halal and non-halal
halal food is for muslims, it doesnt include pork or alcohol
Halal food is for Muslims. They can't eat pork or consume alcohol. Any other meat they consume such as chicken or beef has be Halal certified, meaning they have to be slaughtered in a certain way according to the Islamic religion. It also means that you can't cross contaminate utensils or cooking tools. So a fork used to eat a piece of pork is considered non-halal for example.
15-20% of people living in Singapore are Muslims, so it's pretty common to find Halal food everywhere, and most hospitals and hotels would have designated Halal preparation areas. I guess you can theoretically serve non-Halal food to a Muslim and hope they don't notice so long as you're not directly serving pork or alcohol to them, but it's a manner of respecting the religion that places have Halal-only food prep areas.
Our clinics can't relate
اللي جايه عشان واجب السيرفس تصف جنبي :(
İ like how they have halal food.
国以民为本,民以食为天
I’m sure these people are trying their best with numerous dietary restrictions, but carrot congee sounds awful,
Other countries so professional even hospital kitchen chef .... Here in india 😂😂😂😂 even small vip hospital chefs are very dirty n unprofessional 😂😂😂 that also only veg and roti n some sandwich tea breads biscuits... Lol
*_Did not explain how 3,000 meals are made._*
В Росии за радость если покормили=/, и если не траванулся после..
The food at hospitals in England is horrible, just microwave crap.
