It�s another week in NYP!  Freshmen, by now you should be familiar with all our canteens? But, just in case you have missed like The Best food in NYP, here are some of my top favourites. #1 Dry Noodles (??)  Location: Ban Mian / Fish Soup, South Canteen Blk P, Level 2 Opening Hours: Mon - Fri: 7.30am - 7.00pm | Sat: Closed South Canteen � the heartland of our design schools!

You can even add milk to your noodles for that extra oomph. * The lunch crowd may not be queue-friendly, so go early or be prepared to wait. ** Do utilise the �crowd cam� function via the NYP Mobile app to have a quick look at the crowd! #2 Each a C...
