The catering kitchen plans to serve 20 percent of senior-friendly meals. The food is served with the same menu while the rice and side dishes are cooked with a smoother and softer texture. One of the options is in the form of steamed rice.

"I see that there is already a separate allocation for the elderly congregation's food menu. I hope this kitchen can provide the best service for the congregation," said Gus Men, his familiar nickname. Yaqut also ensures the availability of vegetables and Indonesian spices, including tempeh and tofu. Both of these menus are intentionally provided because many Indonesians like dishes made from soybean ingredients."

"Favorite Food"

That was affirmed by Wan Abdurrahman. Not only during the hajj operations, the tempeh and tofu menu is also liked by Umrah pilgrims. In fact, in one day, their kitchen can consume hundreds of boards of tempeh and tofu, which are also produced by Indonesians.

Apart from food, Yaqut also checks the readiness of the 2024-friendly hajj group hotel for the elderly. "Today I am checking the readiness of services at the Emaar Elite Hotel. I see that the hotel is representative, good, and clean for Indonesian hajj pilgrims. This is in accordance with the contract," he said.

"The bathroom is inside and some of them use a bath up. I request that elderly congregants be placed in rooms with bathrooms that use a shower. If there is a bath up, there must be an attendant. This is for the comfort of the congregants, especially the elderly."
"imbuhnya" in English is "addition."
