Sick and Tired of Canteen Food!!

If I had to eat at the canteen at 194 Pandan Loop one more time I am going to scream!
Why, oh why did I agree to work in a place that is miles away from any decent food places?

And don't give me any of the "you should be thankful for what you have" crap. If you have been eating from the same 5 sucky stalls for the past 9 months, you would whinge about it too.

Let me give you a break down of what we have in this lovely 5 Star Establishment ok?

1) Malay Stall
This stall has all the halal basics - nasi padang, nasi lemak, mee rebus, mee siam and biryani on Friday. If I had to pick one stall that has some kind of standard, it woule be this one. At least they are friendly and the food is halfway tasty (read: not smothered in MSG). Disadvantage:- its the only muslim stall, and I work in an industrial area. So the queue is usually at least 10 pple deep at any one time. And I can't be arsed to queue all lah. So unglam.

2) Yong Tau Foo Stall
This is possibly the worse yong tau foo you would ever have eaten. The noodles are consistently overcooked, the soup is laden with MSG and the oil for the fried stuff has probably never been changed. And once in a while, just to keep things exciting, they have day old tofu mixed in with the rest. Hello, Diarrhoea!

3) Bak Chor Mee Stall
Ok, if you have ever been to a restaurant where the waiters were rude, the cooks crabby and the food mediocre, then you can probably guess what this stall is like. When you walk up to order, the aunty looks at you like she is doing you a favour. And that proceeds to get your order wrong! And then insists that you take it, because YOUR instructions were not clear!

4) Chicken Rice
Ok lah, generic chicken rice - nothing to write home about. The uncle is very friendly, so flirting with him is actually the highlight of that particular choice. He also sells wan ton mee, but his wan tons leave much to be desired. *snickers lecherously*

5) Chinese Economy Rice Stall
They make a lot of different kinds of dishes, which is the plus point. The downside is - they all taste the same. Basically, they make 3 standard sauces and combine it with all the different kinds of meats and vegetables. Ugh, totally mundane.

AND THATS IT!

That's all the choices one has for lunch when one works at Pandan Loop. Of course, you can beg a colleague to drive you out to Ginza Plaza or take a cab to Clementi, but most of us are doomed to eating the same 19 things.

So if anyone reads this, and takes pity on a poor, hardworking sista who needs some lunchtime excitement, please contact me. You will be reward handsomely with my undying gratitude.
