Being healthy is one of the most important things to people nowadays. They do everything just to get fit, from having diets to going to the gym.
Every year, there is a week dedicated to being healthy called the Nutrition Week. This year's Nutrition Week was held from July 22-26. The whole Ateneo Community, not just the Loyola Schools, celebrate the Nutrition Week. All school cafeterias, including JSEC, will serve special menus in line with the Nutrition week. On the first day, the theme is Fruits while on the second day, Fiber. The third and fourth day are Vitamin C day and Fish day respectively. And on the last day is the Green day.

In JSEC, all of the food stalls participate in the festivities of Nutrition Week. They add meals or drinks to their menu that are healthier compared to the usual food they offer. These meals are usually only offered during the Nutrition Week but sometimes, other stalls make it art of their permanent menu.
Let's see what the different stalls had to offer during this special week!
SaWrap offered the Super Siam wrap, which is made out of chicken inasal, lettuce, mint leaves, togue, and satay sauce. They also offered soy milk as a drink which you can order with the Super Siam. Quick Fix added the Grilled Chicken with Raspberry Vinaigrette to their menu in line with the Nutrition Week. KatsuKo sold legit Matcha drinks along with their veggie-meat katsu with mushroom sauce and nori, Shiro-Katsu. BBQ Nation included the Grilled Bangus especially for this week while Ampersand offered their usual Bibimbap along with pandan juice. Red Nation had the Beijing Bundles (Chinese lumpia wrapped in lettuce) and the Kutchay dumplings added to their menu. The Katsu Chicken Salad with Roasted Honey Dressing was the addition that Katsubaby had for Nutrition Week. Queens offered the Made in Manhattan sandwich, which is made with wheat bread, apple, chicken, lettuce, celery, pickle relish and mayonnaise. The Market Sorbet was added to Food for Thought's dessert menu while Hunger Grains offered the Cream of Broccoli and Cheddar soup in their side dish menu. The ForTUNA crepe was included in the menu of Speed Pockets and the NYPD or the New York Pesto Dory was the addition to Panini Time's menu. For the Bottom's Up stall, they added a new drink which is the Watermelon-Orange juice.
Staying fit and healthy has never been this tasty!

Yes, BBQ Nation serves all of that.
Located at the end of JSEC and near the restrooms doesn't stop customers from lining up to try their food. Having a very fresh concept of all BBQ’s with different sauces as compared to the other stalls with a lot of fried foods. When you do buy the different meals, they spice up your taste buds not because its spicy but because its different and good. If you don't want the Teriyaki kind of flavor, go for the original Filipino sauce for that sweet taste or the Hickory for the stronger one.
The chicken bbq meal gives you the "i need to come back for more" feeling. The servings will make you full for an affordable price.

They say food has its own power to satisfy the
deepest cravings of a person. When you go to the Ateneo JSEC, you will not only
find food that will satisfy your cravings but also food that will take you to
places. JSEC offers a variety of food selection which is inspired by the famous
delicacies of different countries. Two weeks ago, we posted an article about
the some things you didn’t know about the JSEC food stalls. Now, allow us to
take you not only to different places but to the stories behind the selected
food stalls in this second episode of “Some things you didn’t know”
Top
Slice
Top Slice may be the hardest JSEC stall to
find. It is located not in the JSEC area but on the second floor of Matteo
Ricci Study Hall. They offer pizza with the finest toppings and flavor. They
have a pizza topped with Quattro cheese, Grilled Pesto Chicken and, of course the
usual, Pepperoni. But did you know that the some of the owners of this stall
were previous owners of the Sizzlers stall? Talk about perseverance and hard
work!
(For more details, visit Top Slice)
Asian
Express
Asian express takes pride on their Asian rice
bowls. They also give great importance to the presentation and quality of the
food they serve. But did you know that they chose to do Asian meals because all
the owners love Asian food? That’s right. And what’s more is that one of the
owners is a Korean that’s why they serve Korean food. They surely are bringing
pride to the Asian race!
Chowchow
Chowchow is one of the stalls in JSEC that
sells Chinese food. They offer traditional Chinese food like Hainanese chicken,
dumplings, siomai and more. Among all these Chinese food, their best seller is
their “yumplings”. Did you know that their yumpling recipe is from China and
that it is made by a cook from China? Looks like they would really go beyond
measures to satisfy their customers!
(Fore more details, visit Chowchow)
Hunger
Grains
Based on their name, we can already say that
this stall got was inspired a blockbuster movie, The Hunger Games. Hunger
Grains offers beef, chicken and pork cooked in different ways. The names of
their dishes are also inspired by the name of the characters in the movie. But
did you know that just like in hunger games they also have a baker boy.
Surprisingly, everyone's favorite Capitol Cookies are baked twice a week by our
very manly Finance VP, Mel Mauleo. Now, that is what we call dedication!
(Fore more details, please visit Hunger Grains)
Speed
pockets
Speed pockets is one of the stalls that offer
to go food. They make delicious crepes that makes eating easier for the busy
Ateneans. But did you know that their journey in the JSEC challenge wasn’t
smooth sailing? They were not really sure of how they would be able to
fix the packaging of their food to make it possible to be "on the go"
until the very morning of JSEC challenge day one. Luckily, they got it fixed
and now, they’re one of the best JSEC stalls for the year!
(For more details, please visit Speed Pockets)
That’s
