Health at Your Doorstep
Food
Matters, which used to be known
as Lunch2U, was started by certified nu-
tritionist, Alexandra Prabaharan and her
partner Vishnu Nair. Alexandra always
had the idea of providing healthy food
to people who might not know where to
find it. When she worked in an office, she
used to pack lunches for her co-workers
who wanted to eat better and realised that
there must be a market for people who
wanted healthy options around the city.
When she told Vishnu about it on their
second date, he thought it was a good idea
and told her that he would help her make
a business out of it. She blew it off and
thought that he was just trying to impress
her on their date, but he remained true
to his word and came up with a plan for
Lunch2U, which took off a year later. The
local company then got bought over by a
Singaporean company and re-launched as
A Box Full of Nutrients
Healthy
food not only has the power to
give your body the vitamins and nutrients
it needs, but it can also heal your body
and alleviate pains. That is the aim of the
Woods Eco-Cuisine Obento Box Lunch by
Woods Macrobiotic, which are fully vegan
and organic Japanese bento lunch box
sets that are made without refined sugar,
trans-fat, preservatives and colourants,
using only organic fresh produce.
Having been in the health food
business for 21 years, June Lim started
Food Matters in both Kuala Lumpur and
Singapore with a menu of over 40 items
that come with calorie and nutritional
information, such as salads, sandwiches,
wraps, healthy Asian cuisine like chicken
rice, nasi lemak, and fusion creations such
as curry pastas.
With this subscription-based service,
customers will be able to sign up for
three, four or five meals a week using an
app that will allow them to choose which
meals they would like for each day. It can
be pricey to eat healthy, organic food at
restaurants, so Alexandra wanted to come
up with not just meals that are nutrition-
ally sound and conveniently delivered,
but priced affordably as well.

providing macrobiotic vegan whole food
in 1993 after realizing the close connec-
tion between food and the environment.
Macrobiotics is centered on a balanced
diet with organic whole grains such as
unpolished sprouted brown rice, seeds,
nuts, legumes, vegetables and naturally
aged fermented condiments such as un-
pasteurised miso and natural pickles. As
most of the locals were unaware of whole
foods at that time, she decided to add a
restaurant, a cooking school, a bakery
and a product wholesale division for
educational purposes.
The Obento boxes that are available
daily differ according to body needs,
such as the Japanese Bento Set (Liver
Food) that contains one type of grain
(Chirashi Zushi), creamy broccoli soup,
blanched green pickles with
umeboshi
,
miso
, Caesar saladwith vegan soymayon-
naise, pan-fried
fu
with herb and crumb as
the main dish, and
kerabu chayote
as the
side dish. Other Japanese Obento boxes
are such as Heart Food, Digestive Food,
De-Stress and more.
