Going to school - Food














Canteen food is cheap in China's standards. Buying from the free-selection cai-fan counter is the most flexible. Veggies cost RMB1-2, meat cost RMB1.5-4, staples (rice, porridge, buns) cost RMB1-2. So a meal usually costs less than RMB10.

Students just scan their card (similar to our Ezilink card) to pay for food. I think it's good to use this method as both the sellers and the students won't have to dirty their hands handling money.


The northern people love to take their meals with buns (馒头).

Ah min likes soupy stuff, eg, porridge ^__^



I like this zhajiangmian ( 炸酱面). It costs only RMB6 a bowl. The portion is HUGE. It can feed 2-3 Singaporean girls.
