Agh! A hair in my rice!

Shanghai, China: Group of students are extremely disappointed by the quality of the food during a Spanish food promotion at their international school. "I am never, ever, going to get this again," Said one extremely angered student. "You know what? I'm going to buy two nutrition bars instead."

Another ate all the rice and no meat, even though the meat was part of the main course there.

"That thing looks so good but I'm sure it's horrible." Can be heard through whispers in the cafeteria.

The reason was that the meat was partly raw at the special Spanish promotion at their cafeteria, and when cut, with red inside. Probably the food vendor did that because there was just too much students and not enough utilities to fully cook the meat in time for the students.

This is not the first time that complaints are said in the school. Sodexho, the vendor for the school, was hit with numerous complaints. One of the complaints was that it took one day for the whole system to be synced, so that if the parents put the money in the account of their child's, it would not be in until the end of the day, or so they say. And if this happened, the counter staff would glare at you and say: "No money" and you would end up not eating lunch, borrowing someone else's lunch card, or wait through a really long line for taking a slip and writing down your student details.

A student even found a hair inside the rice once who requested to be anonymous and said: "Seriously, what should I do about it?"

Dirty tableware have been including forks, knives, spoons, can be found either really wet at the counter area or very dirty. One case was that a student found a rise stuck to the fork.

A girl also found some plastic wrapper on her fork and when contacted, she says: "Do they even wash their utensils?"

A student, now gone, said that everything in the cafeteria was a rip-off. Gatorades are 8RMB, or around $1.2 USD. Nutrition bars were 5 RMB at the time of checking, small pies with the diameter of around 4 centimeters, at 10 RMB each.
