Counting down to the end of this year, we are counting down the last few days of GPS as well. Other than the infrastructure, the culture, the building, the fun, we must not forget the FOOD!!!
Yes, today's episode is about our famous canteen!!! Sorry that I have no photo of the canteen... Probably will try to draw one if I can find time...
I have listed down the stall from left to right according to my best memory possible.
The prices listed down was exactly during the year 1995-2000. So please refrain from exclaiming things like "Huh?! Now things where got so cheap??!"

This snack shop is my second favorite stall especially when I have no time to eat noodles before my prefect duty during recess. A good egg burger is perfect to start a duty~
I still remember there was a period when many students are crazy about the pencil sorbet ice cream and the toy car shape ice cream. It was really nice for summer period.
Present Fact: The auntie is STILL selling snacks in GPS right now. I still see her walking past around my house void deck area once a while, including this year, 2014.
Stall 2: Malay Rice Stall (Purple Plates)
Menu
1. Nasi Lemak $0.50
Can only remember this....
When I was around Pri5, my appetite rose to an incredible rate, I would order this rice, with additional portion of rice, and add more egg slices, which would cost me $0.90. I would practically eat this portion whenever I need to stay back for ECA (Remember back CCA was referred as ECA?) or some other supplementary class. And I believe that was the time when I started to become less skinny...
Stall 3: Malay Noodles Stall (Pink Plates)
Menu
1. Mee Rebus $0.50
2. Mee Siam $0.50

Stall 3: Malay Noodles Stall (Pink Plates)
Menu
1. Mee Rebus $0.50
2. Mee Siam $0.50

This stall made me fall in love with Mee Siam. And so practically whichever Malay noodle stall I patronise, I will only order Mee Siam and nothing else.
Stall 4: Chinese Rice Stall (Green Plates)
Menu
1. White Rice with Fried Egg and Soy Sauce $0.50
2. Chicken Rice $0.50
3. Fried Noodles $0.50
4. Fried Rice $0.50
3. Mixed Rice $0.50 - $1.50
This stall I seldom patronise. Mainly because when I was young, I was still picky with my food choices, especially the greens... So when I see the green plates used by that stall, I will turn away most of the times. If I do patronise, it would be the Rice with Egg since I was an Egg Lover since young. The half cooked yolk was really what attracted me~

Menu
1. Yellow Thick Noodle (Dry/Soup)
2. Maggi Mee (Dry/Soup)
3. Lor Mee
4. Wanton Noodles (Only Available on Monday and Friday) $0.50 - $1

9. Chicken Wing $0.40
10. Chicken Drumstick $0.70
11. Crabstick $0.20
Obviously, this is my favorite stall. You can probably guess it since this menu is the most detailed. This stall provided the best noodles during my childhood. The auntie practically can chat with me also... Oh, and one of the stall aunties was the mother of a student in our batch, Cai xiong's mother.
Anyway, during my peak appetite period, I also ordered a lot from this stall as well. After either an upsized Nasi Lemak or noodles, I will have my "dessert" with a drumstick and a hot dog or a crabstick with lots of chilli!!! Yum~
Stall 6: Drinks Stall
Menu
1. Coke $0.30
2. Root Beer $0.30
3. Can Drinks $0.70 - $0.80
4. Yakult $0.60 (Will FREE cute random toys with each purchase)
A drink stall is always famous among the sports type students since they always seek out for thirst quencher after a good training or game. So naturally the uncle and the auntie there found themselves mingling more with these students. And of course, they are the only ones who can earn the money from students on Saturdays~ It would have to depends on situation for other food stalls to open on Saturdays.
I was a frequent patron during the period when many people were hyped up about the can drinks with red tab. Hope I did tickled your mind a bit by mentioning the "Coca-Cola" card! The card when everybody collect the tabs like mad to exchange a card that was actually useless to a primary school kid. But for me, other than collecting for fun, the card can also be cut into strips and become a tab for me to do cheat code on my Digimon!
**********
Once again, I apologise for the bad grammar, writing, and no pictures. But hope the ex-Griffithsian still can remember some fun times about the school. I had prepared another post about the classes I had been through. My classes were 1/2, 2/2, 3/6, 4/4, 5/5, 6/6. Hope I can help my ex-classmates remember some of the interesting we had been through together! So, stay tuned!
