Environment not up to students' standards/ expectations.
waiting time to queue for food is too long
students have insufficient time to eat their food

not enough healthy food options
some vendors do not provide healthier options such as using brown rice instead of white rice or using wholegrain bread instead of plain bread for the meals
vendors do not have the knowledge of healthy nutrition and culinary skills to prepare healthier meals using healthier ingredients
vendors in schools use 'frying' method to have the food cooked. They should use ovens and grilling, instead of frying
portion of the food given
food stall vendor have the power to charge more for less quantity - e.g. malay Nasi Padang store?
school canteen sell a variety of food ranging from local dishes such as chicken rice to other cuisine such as western and Taiwan cuisine
Most of the food sold has remained the same for the past few years and students tend to get tired of the food items sold in the school canteen and will thus have their meals outside campus etc
