Spiced by Faith: A Pastil Story
Spiced by Faith began with a simple love for pastil—a love that started at home with my kids. It was their favorite baon, a meal they always looked forward to. Seeing how much they enjoyed it, I decided to refine the recipe, making it not only delicious but also convenient for more people to enjoy. Then life threw us a challenge. My husband lost his job, and suddenly, our future felt uncertain. But instead of letting fear take over, we chose faith. That’s when the idea of turning my pastil into a business was born.
Launching Spiced by Faith wasn’t easy. We went through several trials and adjustments to perfect our recipe. Finally, on January 30, we officially launched. It was a leap of faith, and every step forward was filled with determination. But the journey wasn’t without struggles. We faced price inflation, late-night production after my full-time job, and tough competition in the market. To stand out, I applied my expertise as a QA and food safety... More
Ukemochi
Maria Cecilia Latif juggles a couple of roles. Besides working as a Financial Advisor, she has a soft spot for Japanese cuisine, thanks to her dad's job on a Japanese Cruise Ship. She fell in love with the simple and elegant way food is served in Japan, called “Shokudo”. That inspired her to bring that style to the Philippines.
In 2019, Maria opened Ukemochi Food House in Imus, Cavite, hoping people would enjoy its fancy Japanese food.
Since then, Ukemochi Food House has been part of big events and has lots of different customers, from office workers to locals. They also get plenty of orders from Facebook for meals and snacks for meetings and gatherings.
Wei Ming Dian
No business starts successful, and not all beginner business owners have the courage to continue despite the struggles of being an unknown entity in the market. But Tifanny Gonzales Uyco, the owner of Wei Ming Dian, a store specializing in Chinese and Asian delicacies, proved to be one of those real entrepreneurs at heart who braved through the discouraging path of starting a business regardless of the challenges that may come her way.
For Tifanny, starting out was anything but easy. She had to wake up early — setting up her stall at the break of dawn and contending with initial indifference from potential customers. Despite the efforts, it seemed like no one noticed her stall. It was understandable given that the market was crowded with competitors and her products were perceived to have a higher price point compared to others, but it was still heartbreaking. Many days were spent watching customers pass by with their attention diverted elsewhere.
But Tifanny didn’t falter. She knew that... More
YAN-YAN'S HOMEMADE FOOD PRODUCTS
Noong 2017, habang nag-uusap kami ng isa kong kaibigan na nasa Korea, napag-usapan namin kung anong negosyo ang puwedeng simulan kahit nasa bahay lang. Sabi niya, “Bakit hindi ka gumawa ng kimchi? Tuturuan kita.” Sa tulong niya, natutunan ko ang paggawa ng homemade Korean kimchi — at doon nagsimula ang Yanyans Homemade. Sa una, para lang sa pamilya at kaibigan ang kimchi. Pero dahil sa dami ng natuwa at umorder, unti-unti itong lumago. Naisip ko, kung may tiwala sila sa gawa ko, bakit hindi ko subukan palaguin ito? At doon ko na rin isinunod ang ibang produkto gaya ng atchara, gourmet tuyo, crispy dilis, burong isda, at Spanish-style gourmet bangus. Ang bawat bote ng Yanyans ay may halong tiyaga, pagmamahal, at alaala — mula sa kusina namin papunta sa inyong mga tahanan. Sa bawat timpla, ramdam ang malasakit at ang layuning maipreserba ang tradisyonal na lasa ng pagkaing Pinoy. Ngayong 8 taon na ang Yanyans, patuloy pa rin ang aming paglago — sa mga bazaar, online selling, at pagsali... More
