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!

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!

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!

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!
