Arts Canteen Bashing (Part two)
Friday afternoon at the arts canteen. Noon.
"Lunch crowd". Queues were short, even yong tau hu had less than ten ppl in line. hongwei, cheryl & i could not get turned on by any of the food at all, so we decided to *gasp* defect to business canteen! Which turned out to be a good choice foodwise - except that it was twice as crowded!
Looks like people have finally gotten over the new canteen hype (remember the first couple of weeks in school - it was near impossible to eat at arts) and realised that the standard of food there, is, simply, bad. It's a sad truth, that our once-glorious canteen had deteriorated to such a state, but it has. Hopefully NUSSU or someone realises and decides to start a petition to improve the food. Thankfully business is nearby enough...
Fri night - Pat's birthday treat at sushi tei. Probably that's the only restaurant that I can safely "introduce" people to... haha. Inexpensive + reasonably good. It isn't difficult to convert them, especially if they'd been eating the crap at sakae all this while... You deserve better! Yes, you!
Anyways it was a good day to unwind - too slack to take any photos. There was this pretty China waitress this time too... too bad she's cheena. Here's the only one of the seafood kaminabe (from the summer promotion menu). Prawns, scallops, crab, salmon, vege and mushrooms in sweet miso stock. Not bad. =)
I can't seem to get a cbox up and going... it screws with the template for some reason.

I (think I've) finally realised today why I've been finding the rebuilt arts canteen so lacking... Feeling a bit hungry after the test (don't we always do?), I was suddenly craving for some wan tan mee and a dose of vinegared green chilli! So I trotted down to the uninspiringly-named "Noodles" stall, only to find that they only sold bar chor mee and fish ball mee. How disappointing! How can a canteen be without wan tan mee!? Come to think of it, there isn't chicken rice either is there? *shakes head*
And bring back Olive Cove! I need the potato/waldorf/pasta salads for a good post-lunch or pre-dinner filler. Two of my fave stalls from the old canteen - gone for good. Looking for the fried beef kway teow too... the stall's gone but I heard it's still available somewhere... other than that I'm really not turned on by school food this sem at all. Maybe it's cos of the workload...
Three mid-terms in three days. One more (big bad one) to go. Just a slight sense of relief that they're over.
