The Tastihealth Testimony	


Hi, good morning everyone and I'm so happy to be with you. I'll be sharing with you my, is it on? He said it's on. I'll be sharing with you my journey in this kind of ministry, the health ministry. Okay, so I will share with you the center of influence.

I made this 1 as our background in the restaurant, the center of influence. Okay, now I started my catering services in 1 of the biggest companies in the industrial area. It's in Laguna Technopark, where we were adopted as a health program in Amcor, Anam with 5, 000 employees operating on a 24-hour basis. They have 3 shifts. So The Lord put me there to cater to this kind of people.

And then after my 10 year of experience as a contained concessionary in this big company, I also catered in the division office, in our school, in IAS, in the university. And then after that, I have some write-ups from Mrs. White here. When properly conducted, the health work is an entering wedge. Okay?

So it is written in the Councils on Diet and Food, page 73. And then, food work is the property of God. I believe that. It is not to be made a financial speculation or a personal gain. Now, Tasty Health was born in 2017.

Pastor Ted Wilson, that year, came over and visited us. And he interviewed me, actually. It was in the Facebook, in his Facebook account. He said after visiting the Philippines, he went to Australia in Sydney where my daughter works as a nurse in the Sydney Hospital. And then he mentioned that his interview with me was the most numbered of views he interviewed in his Facebook account.

Praise God for that. This was the interview. Now, another writing of Mrs. White. Cooking school should be held in restaurant, okay?

In a, which will give a practical illustration of the proper selection and the health food preparation of food. Okay, now this is the restaurant. Tasty Health Vegetarian Buffet is the first vegetarian buffet in the Philippines. It is a vegan. Now, during the opening, we had this guest.

They are showbiz personalities. And this is the view of the restaurant. It is 128 square meters with 65 seating capacity. And this is the salad bar. We have a salad bar.

This is the... We have a lot of dishes, international dishes. Actually, it's more than 30. Now, also we have the Mrs. White writings.

You can find it in his manuscript, page 1979. Helpful food for the use of those who wish to live in accordance with the principles of health reform. Now, Dr. Hans Diehl was also a visitor in the restaurant, and the restaurant also supports the CHIP program. In every dishes we have, we have the menu tag.

There's a CHIP logo. That means it is CHIP approved meal, no oil, no salt. But there are items which are not CHIP approved. So in the POS, you see that we have the CHIP logo there. And it says there, look for the CHIP logo on the menu tag, which means low salt, no oil, and no cholesterol.

And that's it. Dr. Hansdil, the wife, Lily Pan. Also, we have the free books, magazine, and tracts on the table. We also have the flat screen for the 3ABN.

And these are our guests, actually. These are the monks who came to the restaurant. They regularly come to the restaurant. They came from the biggest temple in Manila. And Manila is the capital in the Philippines.

So all the way from Manila, they come to Tasty Help, 1 hour drive just to eat in the restaurant. These are pure Chinese moths. They came from Taiwan and China. They don't know how to speak English. Okay, go back.

Now, after they eat, These monks, the leader of the monks is Filipino Chinese. So she asked for some of the tracts on the table if she can bring them home and give this to these monks, the Chinese and Taiwanese monks, because they wanted to learn English. So, as thick as this 1, she gathered all the back issues of the review, whatever kind of magazine I got from the division office, they took away all those materials and they gave them to these monks for reading. Now, these are Indian families. Every Sunday they had, They have their regular meeting in the temple and after the meeting, after their worship, they go straight to the restaurant and eat.

These are families. Now, these are the food. There's a lot. These are the cansels of Mrs. White.

Simple combination of nuts, grains, and fruits manufactured with taste and skill. Okay. Will commend themselves to unbelievers. Okay? Another writing from Mrs.

White. The original diet. Okay? Now, in the last days, she said, hygienic restaurants should be established in the cities. Now, We work hand in hand with the deaf ministry.

Most of my staff are deaf. So these deaf, they are not Adventists. But somebody who is also a deaf does the Bible study every week. And After that, they are baptized. This twin, they were baptized last October together with the mother.

Yeah, these are the dead. And another 1, I'm sure you know Dr. Johan Manes. He's a lifestyle medicine specialist trained here, also the director of Asian Lifestyle Medicine. He comes in the restaurant and does the CHIP.

He lectures, give lectures on CHIP. These are the CHIP graduates from Manila. They come to us to eat. After the graduation, they will schedule a tour in our restaurant and they eat there. So these are the CHIP graduates from Manila.

They enjoy eating different kinds of dishes. Now this is Pastor Ted Wilson with leaders from the General Conference and from the Division. Normally visitors coming from the General conference and from the division, different division, they come to us and they eat. And this is Kirk from here, from Long Linda. And The lady is the dean of College of Medicine in the University, Adventist University of the Philippines.

She is a cancer survivor, two-time cancer survivor. Now these are the deaf. They are my workers. Yeah. He came over and ate in the restaurant.

So many figures eating in the restaurant. Also, Pastor Jay Kuhn, he established a lifestyle center down the north of the Philippines and he came over and had a benchmark and I helped the lifestyle center of these people. I trained the kitchen workers so that they can open their kitchen to the non-Adventists. You know her? Melody?

Yeah. She's the author of Dear to Us, Firm or Right. So she also came in the restaurant and she prayed for us together with the deaf. And these are the organizers of, these are AIMEN officers. These are presidents of the hospitals in the whole division.

So the director of the health department in the division, she brought them in the restaurant and ate, and they were So impressed. They wanted to have this kind of concept in their hospital. So these are hospital presidents in the division. And 1 of the television network came over because they were looking for a tasty and vegetarian healthy restaurant. So they found us and they interviewed me and aired it in their television, in their network.

So, there you go. The anchor lady is the award-winning and best-selling program on the Philippines' number 1 News Channel, GMA. There you go. Now, these ladies, the interpreter for the deaf, but we also have to learn how to communicate with this deaf. So we were taught also how to do sign language for them.

Now Hope Channel Philippines came over and had a shooting with us. It's a 13-episode cooking. The first vegetarian, no, the first vegan culinary in television. Okay, we opened February 2017, and December that year, we won the award, the Best Vegetarian Buffet Restaurant by the Golden Globe Award. Praise God for this.

And then the following year, last year, we also had the Elite Business and Leadership Award. We got it 2 consecutive years. Okay, so we have this guest. They are Travel and food blog team. They are not Adventists.
