One yuan can stuff you and two yuan satisfy you 一元吃饱，两元吃好
Our school canteen rocks!
Totally diffrerent from that in Shanghai but it is suprizingly to my taste.
In the morning, I would come with a large bowl of rice noodles. very tasty and cheap, only one yuan. As for lunch and supper, there is large room to select my favorites, ranging from pork,fish to eggplants and cucumbers. All are home-style dishes, so nothing special except that they tend to be spicy. I am not picky so Yunnan dishes are ok with me .
In front of the canteen is a basketball court and a big patch of green land. The students like to eat there due to the packed canteen hall. Eating in the air has its perks, one is the fresh air and one is a free watch of the basketball matches—baskeball is their best love here( I should remember to make an update about the crazy sport here). Apart from eating in the canteen hall, Sometimes I sit at a stone table or even squat. The more casual way of eating HERE reminds me of my childhood,and it hits the spot!
Half Jin of rice is 5 jiao and vegedish is 2.5 yuan while meatdish is much expensive, ranging from half yuan to one. It’s not unusual that many kids only eat 1 yuan’s worth of meal, still with a lot of combinations of the dishes. For many students here, it rules that you feel no hunger punch. It is good that the school canteen searves noodles and dimsums all the year around, which adds to your already rich menu.
Ok, canteen time now. More later.
