Study Abroad Cuisine 2023/11

For beginners studying abroad, how to solve the big problem of having three meals a day is not only a life skill, but also an attempt to integrate culture. Today, let's talk about this topic and teach you how to find the right way to enjoy delicious food while studying abroad.

NO.1 Go to a restaurant | Taste local cuisine!BY ICAC

In the United States, you can indulge in a variety of cuisines from around the world, from Chinese cuisine in Chinatown to barbecue in Korean street, from Japanese to Vietnamese, French, Italian, and Indian, there is always one that suits your stomach. With sufficient living expenses, going to restaurants for meals is undoubtedly the most convenient.

1 Pre meal homework should be done well

Before dining, students may want to check the restaurant situation in advance through various food apps, understand the price level and dishes of the restaurant, and pay attention to whether there are any promotional activities. Do your homework in advance and save money on delicious food.

2 Let's find some food to pair up with

In order to taste more different cuisines, students may want to find like-minded friends to share the fun of food while also reducing everyone's expenses.

3 Tipping etiquette

Tipping the waiter is a habit in foreign restaurants. Generally speaking, the tip ratio is 10% to 20% of the consumption amount. However, as an international student, your budget may be limited, so you can lower the tip ratio appropriately or directly inform the waiter of the tip amount at checkout. This can demonstrate your recognition of the service without adding too much burden to you.

NO.2 School cafeteria | the most convenient and affordable! BY ICAC

Compared to dining in a restaurant, choosing to dine in a school cafeteria is much more economical. Although the school cafeteria mainly serves Western cuisine, there are also many local specialties such as Italian Pizza and Pasta, Mexican Taco and Pasta, as well as Mediterranean cuisine, providing a wide range of options.

Students who choose to dine at school should pay attention to the following points!

1 Understand business hours

Generally speaking, the school cafeteria starts serving breakfast around 7am, lunch around 11pm, and dinner around 5pm. Of course, this time may vary depending on the specific arrangements of the school, so it is recommended that you make arrangements in advance to avoid missing your meal time.

2 Pay attention to balanced nutrition

The food in the school cafeteria is mainly Western style, and each school will try to provide a variety of flavors of food to meet the needs of different students. I suggest everyone to try as many as possible and find their favorite flavors. At the same time, pay attention to balanced nutrition and avoid being picky about meat and vegetable combinations.

3 Make good use of the meal plan

A meal plan is a dining discount policy provided by schools for students, which allows them to enjoy cheaper prices in the cafeteria after processing. There are usually various types of meal plans, the most common of which are the additional bonus for recharging and the N+1 discount policy for buying N.

You can choose the appropriate plan according to your own needs. In addition, attention should be paid to the usage rules of the Meal Plan, such as whether it can be transferred, refunded, etc., to avoid unnecessary trouble.

NO.3 Ordering takeout | Even at home, you can enjoy delicious food! BY ICAC

Uber Eats in the United States chowbus、 Panda Waimai and other food delivery platforms are gradually emerging. Although their service capabilities are not as good as those of Ele.me and Meituan in China, they provide a good dining solution for students who like to stay at home but do not like to cook for themselves.

1 Choosing a platform is important

Each food delivery platform has its own characteristics and advantages, and we need to choose according to our own taste and needs. For example, if you like Chinese food, chowbus may be more suitable for you; If you are passionate about trying various cuisines, then Uber Eats is undoubtedly a good choice.

2 Follow discount information

When registering for a food delivery platform, we must pay attention to new user discount information on official websites, social media, and other channels. Sometimes, some platforms also send discount codes via email or SMS, don't miss it! While enjoying new user discounts, we can also keep an eye on the platform's daily activities, such as limited time discounts, discounts on purchases, and more. Reasonably combining and using these coupons can save us more.

3 Pay attention to timeliness

The United States is vast and sparsely populated, and labor costs are higher than in China, so do not predict the delivery speed of food delivery in the United States based on the efficiency of domestic food delivery platforms. It is suggested that students can place orders in advance or choose to have staggered meals to save waiting time.
