Healthy Dining at IIN&IIKG

We prioritize nutritious meals and culinary education, fostering:

  • Balanced, delicious food following Hong Kong Health Department guidelines

  • "3:2:1 ratio" (grains:vegetables:meat) in lunches

  • No-waste culture & low environmental impact

  • The joy of shared mealtimes

 

Snacks Include:
✔ Fresh fruits & juices
✔ Low-fat milk, cereals
✔ Whole-grain bread & eggs


The Languages of Food – Lunch Project
Inspired by Italian & Chinese culinary traditions, we promote:

  1. Personal Autonomy

    • Encourages self-care & confidence at mealtime

  2. Cognitive Learning

    • Practical math & geometry (setting tables, counting utensils)

  3. Social & Emotional Growth

    • Strengthens relationships through shared dining

    • Encourages trying new foods in a supportive setting

  4. Cultural & Sensory Exploration

    • Daily varied menus introduce diverse flavors

    • Aligns with Reggio Emilia’s multisensory learning

Special Thanks: TABLO for donating Dubla Trays to enhance our lunch experience.
