You can eat this with a lot of meals that will even be served in the dining hall. Shito and gari (Gashit) is also not a bad idea at all on a Saturday afternoon in the boarding house.

You can take all types of biscuit but remember to add Picadilly biscuit. What many call ‘hye me ma’. This biscuit will always get you satisfied.

• Chocolate powder (Milo)

Many students prefer Milo. If not you can buy any chocolate powder of your choice for your beverage. Just add about 3 ‘hye me ma’ and you will not feel hungry soon.

• Powdered milk

If you decide to use liquid milk it means you would have to finish one immediately it is opened. However, powdered milk can stay throughout the term if it is stored well.
