I thought I'll do a food review on a school canteen for a change. I reckon it'll be funny, but it was anything but...
SMK Sacred Heart has a full fledged (!) old skool coffee shop operation going on in the canteen. I've never seen the likes of it before. Why, in my previous high school, we only had RM 0.50 fried noodles, precooked and stuff like that to choose from. This "canteen" has a full ordering service.
The ambience was nothing to speak of...standard mess style dining area. The ordering area is like a coffee shop though. Jesus, kids nowadays. Why, I could regale you with tales of the time when I was young; when I had to walk bare foot through a jungle trail to get to school, but that's digressing. ;)
This is my order - Coca Ice and Iban Mee. "Coca Ice" turns out to be very dilute Milo but at RM 1.20, you get what you pay for.
The Iban Mee was surprisingly good at RM 2. It's a spicy fried noodle dish, with a healthy (generous, really) sprinkling of fried onions on top.
I was surprised to find a couple of girls in there, since Sacred Heart is an all boys school (except for Form Six, but they looked too young for that). I talked to them and got them to pose for a photo and they told me they are from Sacred Heart, but Jesus (no pun intended), don't they look rather young for 18?
