$5 Food Quest
With food being such a hot topic for students we've decided to add a regular food review in Juice. One student is given $5 to find lunch on campus and give us a short write up on their $5 food experie. Here's the first review:
Café 101 - Roast Vege Quiche $4.40
"It was quite motivating to see a range of cooked and healthy(ish) food at Café 101, and all at a reasonable price - $5 could get you almost anything on offer, from a burger to a slice, to a wrap and a quiche. I decided to go for the most elegant and healthy-sounding option, and got myself a Roasted Vegetable Quiche at $4.40 (which is apparently a popular choice, since it was the last one there). The quiche was a colourful range of mashed veges, roasted pumpkin seeds, cheese and pesto – all adding to a tasty, guilt-free lunch, which was surprisingly filling and very decent for its price."
