Canteen Number 1
On the top floor of this office there’s a canteen where they dish up some kind of luke warm slop Mon-Fri, 11:30 - 12:30. I’m not a big fan.
However we’ve recently discovered that a 10 minute stroll away there is “Canteen number 1″- also provided by the airport, but with food that has a discernible flavour and a choice that covers more than just “Greasy Fish Dust” and “Chicken Bones A La Mode”.
I’ve been to Canteen Number 1 most days this week and have enjoyed fried dumplings, sweet and sour pork, chilli peanut chicken, a choice of three kinds of soup, two varieties of rice, fresh watermelon juice- oh the list goes on.
As you can see in this photo, everything is doused in oil and gleams like a waxed eel- but like I said, it’s a 10 minute walk each way to this place, which is like half an hour in total, which cancels that out a treat.
See? Smiling faces as far as the eye can see. Hurray for Canteen Number 1!
