Safe, Hygienic and Delicious
Just as our faculty often strives for excellence, so too our kitchen team, who work judiciously to provide wholesome, healthy and safe meals for our students, staff and community.
OUR FOOD SOURCE
Our daily seasonal vegetables come from one of our sister companies, Mahota Farm at Chongming island, Shanghai. We also use other licensed suppliers to cater to our student and staff meals. We do not use intermediaries to facilitate the purchasing process as we have an in-house purchasing department that fully adheres to our stringent product requirements with no conflict of interests. We regularly review our product choices, brands and suppliers.
HEALTH AND WELLNESS
Our chefs’ menus include a wide range of proteins, grains, seasonal fruits and vegetables. We know a healthy, well-balanced diet promotes the active development of the body and also enhances the learning capabilities of our students.
Our Head Chef supervises and helps plan the weekly menus, and it includes dishes from Chinese, Western, Japanese, South Korean and Southeast Asian cuisines.
