Hello mylot-ers...
I just wanna ask you, especially the students here, do you leave campus for lunch? or you just have your lunch in cafeteria? or school canteen? why?
If not, so what is the place where you have your lunch most of the time?
How about the working mylot-ers especially office or any working place?
Do you go out from your working place just to have your lunch? Why?
Some people bring their homemade food, so they prepare their own food for lunch, so they may not leave the office or campus.
Some may just take out food from restaurant or cafeteria, but they wont leave the room or office for lunch break...
Me, i usually leave campus, because i dont like food in campus canteen. I dont know, the food is always the same and its boring to eat the same menu day to day... And the problem is the price of drinks is higher 50% than the real price, the same like the rice, bread, and everything being sold there...
Most of the time, i will go to my dormitory, and near the dorm there's restaurant with low price food, clean and the taste is good. So i prefer to buy food there even for my breakfast and dinner...
How about you?

I have an hour for lunch but i usually consume only 20 minutes of it because the canteen is just beside my office and opposite the biggest college in town. The menu is changed daily and i can choose between fish, meat or vegetables, all cooked in good taste. Hot soup is also always served free with an icecold juice drink and unlimited purified water from the dispenser. Many college students also eat there since it doesn't cost much and everybody feel relaxed and comfortable because the owner/manager is very friendly...motherly to the students because she calls all of them "anak" (daughter/son). I sometimes just buy some food to bring home for dinner when i feel tired from work and just don't have enough energy to cook anymore.

I seldom leave campus for lunch.For one thing ,I dont want to take the bother to go out ,I am busy and hurried all the time.And another reason is that The food in the canteen is just ok and it is safer to have lunch therem.

if i'm hungry yes, i'll leave my college years ago to eat lol 
how can i study with an empty stomach? so i decided to eat first hehe 
in working environment, i don't have to leave my office to lunch since they allowing the employee to eat in working hours, of course with one condition, you have to finish all the job done well, i guess i'm lucky enough hehe

Ya, I wont have my lunch at office canteen, even i wont have break fast there. Its not that good and the food they supply is not so tasty also. So i prefer a hotel outside our campus and its healthy too, compare to the food offered by our office canteen. We tried few time complaining against bad food supply. But had luck in that. So me and few of my friends decided to stay aways from that dirty canteen.
But earlier i used to have, arround three years back, then management of canteen got changed. Since then this is the scenario. Anyways have a nice day ahead.
Cheers,

Hello my friend manya_pearl Ji,
During my school days, I always used to come back home for my tiffin break, my children
carried their tiffin to their school and took at their own convienent places with in
premises of school. During my small span of service career, I never took as I was provided
accomodation in school premises as a School-warden. My hubby always carried his tiffin
box to his working site. So did my elder son. But my younger son never carried tiffin
even during school and question never arises now.
May God bless you and have a great time.

Well, my lunch time is 1:00pm every day. We were allowed to bring food from home and eat it in the office. But now we are not allowed to do that. Our manager think that it could hurt our company's brand. We have a lot of vistors every day. So certainly he is right. Now I go out to eat. Most of the time I have noodles or some cooked food.

When I was in school, I used to go home to have lunch because my house was near my school. During my college days sometimes I used to take food from home and some days I used to share food from friends. The food at the college were cheap, so some days I used to buy food from the college canteen. Now in my work place, I go home to have food because my house is near the present work place. Earlier when I was in another company, I used to have food from the hotel.

As far as my college life is concerned I used to be in campus to take lunch with my friends.
We all sit together and share our homemade food.
At my office I used to leave my office and went to some hotel to take some light weight food.
Otherwise I feel lazy at office.

Most of the time I have lunch in school,because food in school canteen is much cheaper than outside.But sometimes we go out to have dinner with friends for a celebration.In our school,there is a restaurant named "Yanyuan".It served athletes and workers during the 29th Olympic Game in Beijing.Now it serves teachers and students in our daily life .It is spacious and clean,and I love to have dinner there.

When i was in school, we are not allowed to have lunch in domitory,then we had to eat at the cafeteria.
After having a job, i'm free to choose where to have my lunch,even sometimes, i will bring the food i cooked by myself to office.I will enjoy it with my colleagues and they will tell me how should i do to improve it haha:)
Sometimes we also go to the restaurant together and chat and eat.
It is not important where to have lunch but the good mood haha:)
