Guide to the RIJC canteen

I don't think anyone's gonna see this, so this is more of a self reminder thingy.

Will fill up missing info, pics etc. as I go along...

Stall #1: Wanton noodles
Rating : ★★★★
Comments: Taste, check. Price, check. Portion size, check. Is definitely an upgrade from that old dry noodle store from RGS. You can add extra wanton/dumpling to your noodles. You can also ask for kue tiao or flat noodles instead of the regular thin yellow ones.
Menu : wanton noodles, dumpling noodles, pork rib noodles, noodle of the day etc. all priced at $2~$2.30

Stall #2: Snacks and drinks
Rating: ★★★★
Comments: Sells drinks and a wide variety of snacks at an equal/slightly cheaper price compared to old RGS canteen. There's bubble tea with extra-soft and yummy pearls + milo + other drinks at real decent prices and   MUFFINS + Cookies + lots and lots of niiice looking stuff. OwO
Menu: Fridge with your H20 caned milo etc etc etc. Muffins, pau, sandwiches, rolls, nasi lemak, sweets... varies slightly day to day. Prices are generally below $2

Oooo bubble milk tea >3<

Stall #3: Ton Katsu ('Japanese' food)
Rating: ★★★ ★/2 (revised)
Comments: The price is okay IF you order the right stuff, the taste is nice IF you happen to order what you like, variety ok, but they give too much rice (for girls anyway) so remember to tell the uncle less rice please yep. Other than that... the rice + dishes don't really taste like Japanese, more like normal Chinese/Western food haha. Only link to Japanese is the special dishes they offer, like yaki soba/udon (but they are not that nice and way more expensive D: ). Oh and idk why but when I tried this stall for the first time, they overcharged me ($2 for plain rice + 1 funny tasting beef dish) so that left a pretty bad first impression...
Menu: Ton katsu, omu rice, yakisoba etc. Price varies a lot depends on what you order, can be anything from $1.20 (rice + 2 veg - pretty worth it) to $3+ (if you order expensive dish i.e. yakisoba at $2.50 and add stuff to that)

Stall #4: Western food
Rating: ★★★★ ★/2
Comments: Where do I start. GLORIOUS baked rice set with coleslaw+some other veggie, baked beans and mashed potato. Taste is superb, portion size just right. I won't mind eating at this store every day... Btw, DO NOT just stare at that fixed menu, look into the counter and see what is up for the day. Baked rice wasn't on the menu at all, would have missed the delicacy if I didn't dare to ask. Be brave for food! ;D
Menu: Spaghetti, pork, chicken, beef cooked in various ways and sausages , fries, mashed potatoes etc - you get the idea. Things vary from day to day, prices are  extremely reasonable for the quality of food offered ranging from $2-$3 per set meal (adding stuff will cost more but you may not resist it! >w<)

Breakfast set w/ extra cabbage ($2 only)

Stall #5: Noodles and Porridge
Rating: ★★★
Comments: Tried the porridge today, not bad. Loved it in fact. Thing is, I'm not a fan of fishball /mushroom /minced meat/ shredded chicken noodles so don't think I'll be eating much else from this store...
Menu: "Chicken" Porridge (near vegetarian) @ $1.20, various types of noodles are around $2, can top up sides by adding 20-50(?) cents.

duh porridge ;]

Stall #6: Chinese mixed vegetable rice
Rating: ★★★ ★/2
Comments: Portion is just right, the taste not bad (IF you know how to order - I followed senior in front ;P), price is pretty decent. Definitely an improvement - again proved how sucky RGS food used to be.
Menu: Plain rice + lots of dishes. The price can be quite cheap - I spent $1.60 on the meal shown in the pic below (rice + sauce + veg + meat)

Stall #7: Raffles Yong Tau Foo
Rating: ★★★★
Comments: Marvelously healthy, marvelously nice. Hearty and affordable - choose between 30 cents~50 cents (for the fried stuff mostly) pieces~ portion's not a problem cause you can control that yourself, and it's really easy to order - for those who are kind of scared to ask and stuff - because everything's open on the shelf hehe.
Menu: Yong tau foo, you can choose to go with noodles, rice, been hoon, kway teow, some other noodle of the day (e.g. lor mee) or nothing. Price erm you can decide for your self - can be as expensive as $3++, or as cheap as around $2 or less. SPECIAL recommendation: chee cheong fun @ $0.50 (a whole 30 cents cheaper than in the old RGS canteen! =w=)

Stall #8: Fruitful Fruits
Rating: ★★★ ★/2
Comments: Cheaper than old RGS canteen again... also sells agar agar, bean curd and fresh fruit juice. Great place to go for healthy snacks.
Menu: Kiwi, banana, pineapple, apple, watermelon, guava etc. at $0.30/piece-$1.40/cup of mixed fruits (and the juices of these fruits at $1-$1.50), soya bean curd (2...3 different flavours?) at $1.40, soya milk at $0.50 and more...

Gigantic cup of ice-less apple juice - $1.50 only!

             

soya milk

Stall #9: Lum something chicken rice
Rating: ★★
Comments: Weird tasting rice with a bit of char shew/white or roasted chicken/some other kind of chicken on top. Warning: I got diarrhea from eating food here...
Menu: Different kinds of chicken/char shew rice  at $2, veggie +$0.30, tofu/egg +$0.50

Stall #10: Haw's Kitchen
Rating: ★★★ (my own) ★★★★ (what others seem to think)
Comments: Okay maybe I ordered the wrong stuff but for me, the portion's too big and the price too high. Quality of food is fine but not exceptional...
Menu: Rice with vegetable dishes, sliced and fried fish soup porridge/with rice, noodles, bee hoon etc. Price unsure - seem to be different from what is stated on list D: got charged $3 when it should have been $2.60

Stall#11: Sarifah Muslim Food
Rating:  ★★★
Comments: Reasonable prices, the nazi lemak rice is good and they give a LOAD of ikan bilis peanuts + sambal chilli with the set. The rest of the stuff looks pretty decent too :)
Menu: Nasi lemak set at $1.50, rice, mixed side dishes... at $0.40+ for veggie to $1+ for meat?
Photo:

Nasi lemak with  curry veg.

Stall#12: Maan and Yati's Kitchen (Halal)
Rating: ★★★ ★/2
Comments: Normal rice and veg stall with other stuff...? If you like Nasi Padang from old RGS canteen, you'll love this stall as well :D
Menu: Honestly I forgot. But check the stuff on display and check the menu and ASK - sometimes special dishes are only available on certain days. Prices... depends on what you order, decent meal should be around $2+ as usual.
Photo:

Rice + 2 veg 1 meat = $2

Stall#13: Hassin something Indian stall...?
Rating: N.A.
Comments: Have never seen it up for business since 15Jan. Will update if anything changes... Such a pity, since the photos of the pratas and curries featured on the shop front look pretty attractive * u *
Menu: N.A. - looks like they had prata and naan...

Stall #14: Authentic Chinese cooked food store with random pictures of snacks and bubble tea on the shop front...
Rating: ★★★(what I feel) ★★(what others may feel)
Comments: Things you probably need to know - (1) the shop owner seems to be from China and (2)the food taste almost exactly like what my mom cooks at home. I would have given it a higher rating, but they give soooooooo much rice (I suspect that the owner came from my hometown cause that's what they do - eat a lot of carbo...), there is little variety in side dishes, and the price isn't exactly desirable... Still not sure if they sell said bubble tea etc. Shall update once confirmed.
Menu: Unconfirmed, but definitely includes lots of rice and a few very non-Singaporean-Chinese-dishes. Like fried green chilli padi (YUM - for me haha) and tomato with egg etc. Price wise... normally it'll be from $2-$3+ but you should ask before you order just in case. Meal in photo below cost $3 due to expensive fish D:

My $3 meal...

Miscellaneous Food Places:

Seven-eleven
Rating: ★★★ ★/2
Comments: Need I elaborate? Pretty safe place to get food. Small, cramped, but if you fish around, you'll find something.
Menu: Uh, normal 7-11 stuff. Prices may not be so friendly, but exceptions include $1 waffles, warm snacks, student priced slurpees and mashed potato combo on discount.

Detached store in canteen (?)
Rating: ★★★ ★/2
Comments: Special mention: cheeeeeeeese pasta.  The pasta's nice, worth it, but it's super unhealthy, too big in portion, and you may get sick of it easily. Recommended for ravenous people who feel super cheesy (no pun intended). Another word of advice: don't add cheese sausage to your cheese pasta. I think you know what will happen... and ask for small bowl of pasta at $1.50 or else the auntie will give you the gigantic $2 bowl by default :C
Menu: Cake sticks at $1, beancurd at $1.40, sausages at $1 and pasta at $2/$1.50 for smaller bowl. Pretty reasonable.
-------------------------------------------------------
That's it. Really want to check out the RI canteen one day and I'll keep perfecting this thing as I eat more and more canteen food...
