A Visit to El Toro - A Spanish Restaurant which supports a salad bar at $9.90 during lunch.

Yesterday, I was invited to El Toro to try out their salad bar which was for $9.90. The restaurant decided to support anyone who is a vegetarian to try out their restaurant on Thursdays, besides the shop selling non-vegetarian food. 

El Toro would like to join the community to inform the public to choose a healthier diet by promoting through incorporating this service on Thursdays. They were also doing other good services like calling all staff to take off on Fridays and let the restaurant being run by voluntary people. There are services like selling food to people so that the profits are channelled to needy people. 

I was shown an artwork on the wall made of cloth by people from poor countries. The design was displayed in the restaurant. I will continue with this tomorrow so that people are aware to at least go a day of meatless diet in a week. 

Joy, who is also the Managing Director of the restaurant believes that besides running a business, she is ever ready to collaborate in projects which teaches selflessness.

Tomorrow there will be a continuation of this post showing some details of what El Toro, Penang Road, is trying to do.
