Five Star Canteen

Working hard in one’s office from 9 to 6 is often lightened by that welcome respite at 12 noon: lunch. There are people who made do with whatever their company cafeteria has on the menu. Some patronize vendors who package viands and pre-measured cups of rice in plastic bags. And there are those who must order from a take-out menu. And there are the lucky few who can afford to have an executive meal, served piping hot in pleasant surroundings.

With a well-planned interior done in neutral colors, with supplies for outdoor dining, patrons line up for their meals turo-turo style, and enjoy the best this place has to offer. Be warned: the utterly delicious fare will blow ordinary cafeteria food out of the water.

Open on weekdays, expect the best as expert chefs toil in the kitchen to produce fork-tender beef of fish dishes, terrific grilled liempo served with achara chunky with pineapple bits, melt your mouth pork binagoongan, savory stuffed croquettes, freshly cooked mussels, tasty rellenong bangus, and fragrant rice.

The desserts are simply delectable from the pleasing tart flavor in their lemon squares, the tempting Oreao cheesecake, to the creamy crunchy and nutty sansrival. Believing that quality can still be made affordable.

What Do You Want from Dinner?

Dinner is served in courses. The heartiness of any one course is inversely proportioned to the number of courses served. A diner can manage six or eight courses only if none is very rich, and if he eats lightly of each.

The meat or meat substitute, with vegetables, is the main course and deserves prominence because if furnishes a greater variety of the foods needed by the body than do the other course.

The cocktail may be a shellfish with a highly seasoned sauce. Fruit cocktail, if acid, may be served. This course in intended as an appetizer; hence sweet fruits are not so acceptable as those with a tart flavor.

A salad course accompanies or follows the main course for two reasons. The succulence of the dish, and the fact that it is cold, make it a pleasing contrast to the main course. Salads, like soups are appetizing and serve to stimulate the appetite.

A small cup of coffee is frequently served after the dessert, usually without cream or sugar. The flavor of coffee at the end of a heavy meal is relished because it removes the sweet taste of the dessert.

The Importance of Eating Breakfast

The word breakfast means exactly what It says. We have to break our fast. For twelve hours or more we have eaten nothing. In fact, for at least eight hours of that time we have been relaxed in sleep, or should have been. To start our bodies out for the day with no breakfast would be like trying to ride a train without buying a ticket. Just as tamps ride force themselves to face the day’s labors without breakfast. They are food tramps. There are dangers and a lack of comfort in both cases.

What Are the Reasons for Eating Breakfast? Three meals each day is the first step in good nutrition. Because they are building their bodies, growing boys and girls need proportionally more food those adults. The fact is, that three meals a day are not sufficient for young children, and at times even older children need more than three meals daily.

More people under twenty years of age are underweight than overweight. Thus if they omit breakfast they miss one of the three chances to get building materials and fuel supplies. The person who goes without breakfast runs a great risk of being undernourished. Three well-balanced meals constitute a full ticket for a ride in comfort on the “health land” railway.

The omission of breakfast, or the eating of a hasty breakfast and rushing away immediately to school, to work, or to play, are often causes of constipation
