Food Service & Dietetics

Spread of healthy food

The aim of the Food Service and Dietetics Department is to educate the community on the benefits of a healthy Lacto-ovo vegetarian diet and promote it at a reasonable cost.

Penang Adventist Hospital has been observing a strict vegetarian diet since year 1924.

Cafeteria

The new cafeteria, which can seat over hundred people, serves a variety of vegetarian Chinese, Indian, Malay and Western cuisine. Side orders include healthy high-fibre waffle, low-fat dumpling, high-fibre vegetarian sardines, high-fibre and low-fat pudding, oaty high-fibre and low-fat pancakes.

The cafeteria also caters for private functions. The Food Service and Dietetics Department plays a vital role in the recovery of a patient by guiding them to maintain a healthy lifestyle through the provision of dietary management consultation by qualified dieticians.
