ADIOS TO STEWY SOUPS AND SOUPY STEWS

Chaley. It is hard on these campus streets if you can’t cook.  All that indomie plus shito, and rice with tomato stew is one way and has little nutrition.

Although it’s convenient, buying food every day will wreak havoc on your pocket. Wouldn’t it be nice to have enough for clothes, credits, chilling with the squad, and saving a little something for a rainy day?

Cuz we have your back, we have put together some quick recipes for the boys boys and the busy girls. The ingredients for each of these meals should be available on your campus. There is something for breakfast, lunch and supper.  Here’s to bringing out your inner chef and impressing your bae and your squad the next time they come around.
