huh what where? singapore? we buy our food in the canteen / cafeteria no food is provided to us at all, even a bowl of fish ball noodles in school cost $2 idk where you get your info about singapore its sooooo wrong
I dnt know about other countries but for India.. they didn't do any research for sure. Whoever said biryani is staple food in india for kids' school lunch or even college is definitely high with few glasses of tequila
I'm from the philippines and as a child the most exciting to me is not eating my lunch but sharing it with my friends then we can make combinations with all the different baon we have. And personally, onion omellete is my top fave. 🤤
Coming from India I was never served Biriyani when I was a school kid. It was always proper veg meal- rice/roti, dal, rajma/ chana/ paneer/ veg curry, egg/potato/brinjal/ladyfinger fry, pickle n salad.
5:48 🇵🇭✨ Philippine Lunch is almost accurate but Broccoli isn’t a common side dish. We do have “chop suey” our version of mixed veggies that’s more common ☺️ basically the lunch formula is Rice + a Viand + Veggies, and top it with fried egg 😁 the snacks are for recess breaks, not really a dessert.
Philippines public elementary school food menu is typically consists of boiled plantain, boiled eggs, pansit/spaghetti, champorado/sopas/ginataang monggo or mais, and a variety of rice cakes
No school in India serves Veg Biriyani in school... infact taking lunch tiffins from home is the real culture of India. I dont how you guys thought... Rice Pulao is a staple India school lunch 🤣
Bruh what are u talking about? There are many schools in India, specially the private ones that serves lunches and in my school they serve veg as well as chicken biryani on Wednesdays.
I have been a lunch lady for almost 15 years now, in a public school. We wish we could serve our kids some of these things. Public schools have to follow the DPI guidelines in order to get food through the government at prices they can afford depending on the school. Some schools have more funding than others so they can get better food. We do our best for fresh fruit and vegetables daily, but we also have to remember that if kids won't eat it at home, they also won't eat it at school. Unfortunately, at school they have to take it and then they just throw it away. Waste. It's a major issue in public schools, we throw away so much food daily. It's horrible and we wish it did not happen, but government funded schools have guidelines they must follow.
Yeah we have a big issue with health but for me personally the waste is what hurts most especially with so many people that don't always have a meal. At my school the food was also unhealthy but because of the food waste they were telling kids to only grab what they're going to eat! We need to change!
as an indonesian, growing up we rarely get free lunch at school especially a set meal like that, only private school or dorms do that, the public ones usually get like a milk and snack set once a week when it's on friday, other days we either buy or bring from home.
Ini makan siang ala pondokan / pesantren, di sana sering makan siang disediain sekolah. Kalau swasta biasanya jaman kita kindergarten atau elementary (itupun ga semua)
Being a South Indian, I have never had Veg biriyani for lunch at school. Rice and curry, Chapathi with curry or anything with curry and sabji. With Veggies, egg etc would be normal lunch.
Biryani is offered in school canteens in many places in India. But biryani is also served with something on the side. It would have been nice if they had served it with a raita or something. No matter what they show it wouldn’t be a complete representation as India is very diverse. But appreciate the attempt here.
Exactly. I’ve read through the comments & it seems like they got the school lunches of the other countries wrong too. This is not their first video about other cultures with so much inaccuracy but yet they keep making such videos. Trying to be “woke” but spreading misinformation.
I grew up in the Philippines they don't have school lunches you either brought your own food or went and bought it from the store outside of the school 😂
Um, really? I live here my whole life and we do have school lunches in the canteen. They are not free though and are often unhealthy that's why most kids bring their own lunch & snacks (baon) which their parents cook for a more balanced meal. Edit: Some public schools have free school lunch but not like what is shown here.
@@Kariktan214 yes but that is not school lunches those are lunches you buy from the store. Not the same thing lol I lived in San Fernando, and bagio city we had no options but to go to the markets to buy lunch
My school held whole day classes and students were not allowed to leave the school before dismissal. They had no choice but to serve lunch. Lunch was pretty good. You get rice, your choice of a meat dish, a vegetable dish, and a free soup. For snacks, bananas, sopas (fire) and cheese pimiento sandwich were staples. No meal was complete without Chuckie milk chocolate drink or strawberry yogurt drink.
That isn’t how it was for me. I had school lunches inside the school campus because students are not allowed to go out the campus until dismissal. So there was a canteen.
As a Filipino, Im glad that they appreciated our version of school lunch, my lunches as a kid back in the day were rice, egg or meat or fish, or some leftovers like adobo, pork chops etc, I usually have juice in a jar that is stained orange bcoz the coloring for concentrates that time is on another level.
The lunch system we do have in government schools, and they definitely not provide biryani, it's always khichadi, vegetables, poha, simple rice daal, etc. varies from state to state normally. In general, All indian students bring their lunch from home which is normally Roti (Paratha, we have 100 of varities in paratha as well) with some dry curry (we have different options on that, Eggplant, moong, ladyfinger or okra, beans, cauliflower and potato, etc..) or roti with fried eggs, Idli sambhar, Chilla, Dosa, etc.... There are many Lunch options for kids in india, mostly in veg options which is tasty as well as nutritious for the kids.....Indian Lunch box for kids can't be defined in one simple veg biryani dish.
To be fair 🤣 as a Singaporean, i have never see such plated meal during my times in primary and secondary school.. nor the beehoon is that white. Usually it is cooked with dark soya sauce and also beansprouts and chives and other ingredients to make it more appetizing. Neither we have milk or apple, we get regular sodas and packet drinks.
No school or college I'm India serves Biriyani at lunch, not everyday....it's usually rice gruel, with any boiled pulses, or veg/ non veg curry ...or it's roti n curry (veg or non veg) with milk n boiled egg
It's actually so funny because as a Singaporean I did NOT eat that kind of food despite studying in government-funded(public) schools. It was always a large variety of cuisines since Singapore houses so many different cultures and thus foods. I would have western one day, onigiri and ramen the next, prata or murtabak on thurdays when the queue wasn't so cancerously long, and fried carrot cake on the last day depending on my mood. There really isn't a fixed Singaporean-representative school meal from my experience as a student, which makes this video hilarious. Like damn I didn't know my country, with its endless list of cuisines offered in public schools, had a school lunch like that (I likely would have avoided getting that exact meal ngl. Like where is my roast chicken and my stir fried vegetables? Greens are NOT limited to broccoli only in Asia HAHAHAH)
For those claiming that India doesn't provide biryani as school lunches, they showed that video about some charitable groups which provide free food including vegetable biryani as part of Mid day meal programme. Indian govt schools provide these meals for free but they are not standardised - it would vary from city to city as India is a big country. Most Indian pvt schools don't as they are not bound to by the govt, meals are usually brought from home or purchased from the canteen or somewhere near the school.
The video claimed to show veg biryani, but it resembled pulao or khichdi. Biryani isn't served for lunch in any Indian school; Akshaya Patra serves vegetarian meals, not biryani. Their midday meal program is for government-run schools, unlike private schools where students either bring their own lunch or purchase from the cafeteria.
Although as an North Indian who has had biryani for school lunches(very rarely), I would like to correct and clarify that our most stable food is daal(lentils) and rice or roti(our flatbread). This would usually be accompanied by a 'sabji' which is a vegetable dish(literally just search the word and you'll find many variations!) And of course! We will also have yogurt which will be mixed with a salad of diced cucumber, onions, and chaat masala, and more sides like achar, papad.
@@subhas394 Yupp thanks for the reminder! I'm actually from south india but i've lived in north india for my entire life so i'm used to the north cuisine more(even tho i prefer south indian cuisine anyday)
As a Singaporean student. That is not what we eat for "lunch" we don't even have lunch. We get recess which is at 9am or 10am which only grants us 30mins. I mean, Singaporean students have a plethora of foods, the show was giving an example of what is recommended. But we still eat our chicken rice, mee rebus, hell even briyani at 10am.
If America went by Japans standard with school lunch we’d be in better shape. They really don’t play with the nutrition of the food right down to production. Also the responsibility they teach the kids is untouchable
In singapore, we usually do not have catered school lunches for any age. We usually have 6~8 different themed stalls that sell healthier versions of food that you can get outside in restaurants/cafe/hawker, so that kids choose what they want and they learn to budget their allowances. Btw school is cheap is you don't have to worry that someone is eating up our school fees, it's free for citizens and $13 administration fees.
right that bothered me so much the children could eat dessert every day and still be healthy a lot of other countries have more restrictions on harmful ingredients in junk food and sugar is fine as long as the children are active and eating it in moderation
As someone from India Biriyani would be served at max, once a week (on the last day of the week if your school is boujee or ONLY on special occasions). It’s more of a celebratory food than a staple food. Daily lunches would have some combination of: Roti, sabzi, dal (or sambar depending on the region) rice, pickle and curd. Proteins vary based on region but the most common one would be boiled eggs. Hope this helps!
As a Chinese, the food of China in video is a little bit…weird to me…? This combo is not common. Too much fruit. Pancake…I'm not sure what it actually is in video, but I think it should wrap other things, just like gyoza. Shrimp… I haven't seen it in school yet.
Hey guys, as much as I would love it....Biryani is unfortunately not a staple Biryani is more like a special lunch meal or like something you would eat at parties with your college friends at night with some alcohol to drink and maybe include raitha (curd with vegetables and spices) as a side withe the biryani Biryani is really popular in Hyderabad (where I live for most of my life) but other states have their own specialities like Gujarat is famous for their deserts, Karnataka is famous for their bisibela bath,etc. Indian staple food for lunch is like rice with two or three curries and sambar (sort of like a spiced vegetable broth) and curd on the side or like even just chapati (flat bread) with the curry and you get desert occasionally like bread halwa (one of my favs) , gulab jamun, pysum (idk if i spelled it right haha) , etc. and its usually all vegetarian so that its accessible for both veg and nonveg folks! Hope this helps ❤
15:56 Little fun fact: indonesian president-elect (prabowo or pak wowo) has a plan to give some free lunches in every public school, just as boarding school or 'pesantren' did 🤔
I mean Biryani is not Staple School lunch in India, at least not in major part. They focused on an organisation specifically catering to lunches. Staple food will also vary region to region. But mostly any form of "bread" (Roti, Puri, etc) with vegetables of choice for home cooked meals and "Roti, Vegetables, Lentils, Yoghurt, Salad," or something similar with maybe less dishes but all balanced. This was an inaccurate representation of Indian School Lunches.
My ex-wife is Korean, and she is an excellent cook. She used to make her own kimchi, so hot that she could barely eat it. I would have to leave the house when she made it, because just the fumes affected me that bad. She made it by the plastic baby bathtub full and shared it with her friends.
yep! you nailed the Philippine lunch/ baon. And like me who used to bring lunch back in Elementary and High school here in the Philippnes, we also sometimes trade part of our lunch to our classmates.
I'm Filipino but never brought broccoli for lunch. Parents usually make a quick breakfast in the morning (egg, spam, tocino, longganisa, hotdog, meatloaf, corned beef, tapa, etc) and that's your lunch or dinner leftovers.
I’m not sure if all Malaysian schools are the same, but for me back when I was in school, I sometimes have quite a variety of food to buy from with my school money like maybe mee soup, nasi lemak, fried rice, chicken rice, chicken nuggets, curry puffs, some fruits, etc. Basically, not too heavy or normal meals (and fruits) which are enough to get your stomach full for breakfast or lunch. (Unless you bought a lot)
As an Indian, that's actually Pulao...similar to Azerbaijani version...and every state in India has a completely different lunch...like COMPLETELY different thing
My friends in China never had shrimp for lunch. Still, they got super yummy lunches, very similar to the Korean one, with a base of rice, vegetable side dishes, and protein, which usually changed daily: fish, chicken, pork, and tofu. Beef was not common.
Filipinos, hold your horses. It's obviously taken from a baon prep vid. Not based on actual cafeteria offerings. They call it spam when it's actually luncheon meat (like how it is with colgate). Some can put peppero, "for upper middle class". I do it for my kid when we have it here but for the most part, just basic stuff. I dont think anyone would bother making a baon prep vid if they're just gonna shove some good old adobo leftover and day old rice, so please, manage your expectations. Our school lunch came up on top. Stop complaining.
Don't get me wrong, I loved spam and rice as a kid and seeing it featured here gives me nostalgia, but I was expecting something from karinderyas. I'm happy that they appreciated the concept of 'baon', but we have so much more to offer aside from... imported canned meat from the USA. It's one seaweed away from looking like an American's culturally appropriated Japanese bento box.
I'm from the Philippines but when did we eat broccoli for lunch?? and pepero for dessert?? Where did you get that video from?? It should've been the red hotdogs, plain rice and banana ketchup 🤦♀️
@@koshikoshi-sj2hvyup my private school had pepero or these meji chocolates but it was a little expensive so it’s not an everyday thing. So it is still Filipino school culture.. just private
As a Filipino, I agree with the ✨vibes of that Filipino lunch. Since our schools usually don't serve lunches, our parents pack our lunches, and it's usually breakfast foods like egg and spam. Very hearty and nostalgic meal.
The guys get the idea of the Filipino lunch even though the one featured here is more modern, yes i said it it's modern and actually quit normal now to have pepero and cookies for the kids..this is the time of lunch moms would make, because schools here don't give out lunch meals, plus its quick and easy..a lot of people here are also complaining about the broccoli, like dudes its a modern Filipino lunch, what rock have you people been hibernating under? Haha..lunches in different countries changes through different times..spam or maling is modern, traditionally it would have been 'daing na bangus' haha..mga iyakin haha..it's a pack hardy meal and Filipinos work hard, we need that heavy rice power to get us through the day😂. I love this episode ❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing about Philippines but that's not our typical lunch.... Spam and brocolli are expensive here so we don't consume those on a daily basis but instead we have one or two of these: Filipino hotdot, eggs, cornedbeef, beefloaf, kangkong, dried fish, eggplants, or fried adobo. And always with rice 😂😂😂
I am from india and the normal school lunches in my school used to have dal chaval roti compulsory with a sabji kuchumbar or any kind of salad raita while on special days i.e. Saturday we used to get aloo vada noodles idli sambar but never biryani. My favorite was when they served rajma chaval those days were the best. We used to have bananas on the side ? For fresh fruits sometimes or most of the times i don’t remember
The Singapore lucnh system isn't a set in stone meal, its an array of stalls where you can choose what you want to eat, normally there are 2 drink stalls, 1 snack stall and 5 stalls of different cuisine typically foods you can find as street foods.
The moment they used chopsticks for Filipino lunch, im like huh??? We only use fork and spoon lol not a lot of us know how to use chopsticks 😂 Also, spam is more of a high-end luncheon meat for us since it’s pricier so when you have that for lunch, that means you come from a rich or upper middle class family. We usually have rice, hotdog, and egg for the most part. But occasionally we have veggie meals like chop suey or giniling for our lunch too.
@@solkalibri1376 ahh yes i have those ones too for lunch! Or sometimes she’ll give me extra allowance to buy lunch at school (they’re all homemade but with a price) if she didn’t have the time to cook. But most of the time, i just have school lunch whatever my mom makes.
Being from the Philippines, nothing wrong with spam and banana catsup but this is really not lunch time cafeteria food. Rice, choice of viands be it adobo, mechado and mix veggies. Seasonal fruit and gulaman sago or melon drink or cassava cake for dessert-now that’s typical!!
Agree. Even in college, still the same dish variations and desserts. Would be practical if it's cornbeef or Virginia hotdog hahahaha what you eat for breakfast will also be your lunch😂
maggi? Oh I assume ur not talking abt lunch box food. Ye wish they did govt elementary school food instead of the charity one, for the sake of the video. At least they get some donos from this ig
The one in the Philippines is screaming rich kid baon lol I only had rice in my lunch box then I just buy 'ulam" in the cafeteria or kalenderya, for dessert I had Max candy 🤣
wth izzy is half filo?? 😭 anyways i dont rlly think the filipino lunch is quite accurate. like yeah we have veggie dishes as school lunch but im pretty sure no one brings broccoli for baon 💀 also u're missing red hotdogs and zest-o juice, that has always been my go to baon back in grade school lmao. the peppero is also random ngl instead of that it shouldve been jack n jill snacks lol
Peppero is more of a "high end" pretzel for Filos. But they shouldn't have served it with the main lunch that made it look like a dessert. It's more of a snack in between subjects.
As someone who's filipino and was raised filipino but grew up in singapore i can say this much... the pinoy food was pretty on point but our schools do have canteens/shops that sell food and the most popular (during my childhood) was fried chicken with rice; though spam is VERY common. Its either spam or pinoy sausages with rice in my fam. As for singapore, schools from primary (elementary) have food stalls that sell foods from the different cultures and ethnicities that live in singapore and more. Indian cuisine, chinese cuisine, malay cuisine and western cuisine are the main ones occasionally you'll have offshoots like chinese noodles, japanese cuisine etc. Also those noodles look a lil too thick to be actual bee hoon noodles, the ones we use are usually thinner. ALSO i cant live without rice in my meals.... I'd eat noodles with rice sometimes even...
Me looking at the Japan Lunch served on PVF and then staring at my current Kyushoku (school lunch) here in Japan; that's not what I got today. LOL. But yeah, on average, meals are roughly $2.00-$3.00 per meal. Which isn't too bad per month, here.
Yes, I am a vegetarian....it's more like some people are veg and some are non veg But usually in schools, they don't provide non veg items to make it accessible for all children
Which Singapore is this? Hahahaha.. We don't serve school lunches like this. We have various stalls at the canteen which sells different foods and you decide if you want to have local food, western food, etc. No kid will ever willingly buy milk to drink in school! Lol.. Also, to answer the question on whether Singaporeans live longer.. apparently Singapore is a blue zone. There's a documentary on that on Netflix.
I feel like what they showed here fits the stereotype of what people would think Singapore schools serve for lunch but no, our school lunches are unhealthy af. Definitely no milk or fruit (or vegetables).
@PeopleVsFood You gave them Japanese school lunch that didn't have natto, shirasu, or mozuku? Also where is the rice? If there's no rice there will be noodles or bread for energy. And for a treat you should have given them agepan or some yomogi mushipan!
I think most Filipinos would agree we don't put broccoli in our baon. That's just for aesthetic purposes, I think. Hahahaha! What we had in our baon back then were hotdogs, fried egg, tuyo (dried fish), and rice. But that's just for us who went to public schools. 😅
@@debbythespacechicken others have sardinas as baon too. I was lucky, I guess coz I never experienced having tuyo or sardinas as baon to school before. But I had classmates back then who did. It was common in public school for kids who are very poor. 😔
As a Singaporean I’m abit offended but it’s fine cause you don’t live in Singapore so you won’t know cause people often think Singapore food is always kinda basic and plain and boring but it’s actually really good
We don't usually have Spam for lunch, because Spam is for middle class or higher class only. Most commonly we have Fiesta or Argentina Beef loaf, corned beef or sometimes leftover food from breakfast like eggs or fish or dried fish. Sometimes paired with vegetables like MONGGO or Kangkong 😅 and not broccoli, because only rich people have those or filipinos currently living abroad. In other words, almost perfect concept on filipino lunch especially the banana ketchup. But not there yet. Sorry, you need to broaden your research about filipino school lunches. Just saying.
Well, in Singapore, those healthier meals are usually served for children in nursery and kindergarten (below 7 years old). Once they go to primary school, they will learn to buy their own food according to the different type of stalls. Each stall serve different types of food from Chinese, Indian, Malay and Western options plus a drink stall. So they will learn to buy pizza, spaghetti, nuggets from the western stall (prices range between 0.30~2 USD), etc. Like a pizza would probably cost less than a dollar. It's just to teach them communication and life skills. My 9 year old is able to order food on his own whenever we go to restaurants and count the money we gave him. I've grown up the same way and I always buy chicken rice in primary school. Back then, it cost way less for a plate of chicken rice. 😅
As a Singaporean, that not what we eat at our schools😭 Our schools have stalls that sell Chinese, Malay, Indian and western foods. Even preschool kids eat food with more colors and flavors. Ya'll definitely gotta research better.
That's NOT biryani.. its pulav and biryani isn't served as school lunch....we have idli Upma sheera pulav samosa dal and rice w pickle.. Parathas.. it depends on the days if the week. Also we get milk sometimes.
You guys really do China dirty. My school lunch when I was in China definitely is not looked like that. Damn, there is so many delicious lunch in my canteen. The canteen is more similar with what you showed in Korea where you can pick the food or the staff hand it to you which usually consists of rice with 3 or 4 sides of vegetables or meat dish. I also want to retort on Indonesia part cause I grew up on it, that fried tofu looks kinda bad and unappetizing, why not simply choose Indonesian fried rice or mie goreng which is popular as school lunch here (since you chose briyani as you present India)
bro brooo there in india biryani don't get served in whole north and west part of india here in Rajasthan Punjab Haryana delhi most of here lunch would be sabji roti and dahi or paranthe plus sabji or dahi in lunch!!
Since when did Chinese people eat pancakes like that? Chinese people eat pancakes, but they’re normally egg pancakes called jianbing. Also Chinese people normally eat rice as their carbs. Pancakes are normally their breakfast food. 😅
this singapore school lunch looks to me is from a private school version (Healthy option)... neighbourhood ones where I came from, we have a variety of chinese, malay, indian & western cuisines at any given time... its called a canteen btw
The first school lunch they had in this episode came from South Korea 🇰🇷 If any of you have a interest in Korean cuisine, make sure you reserve a flight to Seoul to try out their school lunches! Delta, United, American, and Korean Air all have direct flights to Seoul
As a indian this is my first time knowing that biriyani is being served in any freaking school lunches😂😂😂 atleast veg pulao was acceptable but biriyani, FR?
The philippine one is pretty off 🥲 broccoli is a pretty pricey vegetable so it isn't that common. We usually had rice and one dish (if we bought it in the cafeteria or a carinderia, it would usually come with free soup.) Snacks would greatly depend if you bring some or if you buy some. Pepero is honestly too pricey. I think I had a pack of biscuits or cookies or whatever hot snack they had at the cafeteria. For the japanese one, the serving size on video is pretty large compared to the actual serving size. But it does come with rice or bread. In my area, a meal has 600-700 calories, and usually carb-heavy 😅 (as an example, today's lunch was a carton of milk, vegetable soup with a bit of meat, edamame, 2 tiny weiners and a hotdog bun.)

Heh, Americans. Typical
And that’s not biryani they served them it’s pulav god they got it wrong
They should atleast have done some research and playing a factory video to show them like it is for kids lunches is funny
I'm from the philippines and as a child the most exciting to me is not eating my lunch but sharing it with my friends then we can make combinations with all the different baon we have. And personally, onion omellete is my top fave. 🤤

thank you for all that you do! ❤
Hope everyone is doing fine in Lunch Lady land. Thank you for all the sloppy Joe's and meatloaf sandwiches.
Yeah we have a big issue with health but for me personally the waste is what hurts most especially with so many people that don't always have a meal. At my school the food was also unhealthy but because of the food waste they were telling kids to only grab what they're going to eat! We need to change!
as an indonesian, growing up we rarely get free lunch at school especially a set meal like that, only private school or dorms do that, the public ones usually get like a milk and snack set once a week when it's on friday, other days we either buy or bring from home.

A more typical Filipino lunchbox would have:
- protein: chorizo, longganisa, fried chicken, or hotdog
- veggie: tortang talong (fried battered eggplant) or sauteed stringbeans
- dessert: banana 😂
Being a South Indian, I have never had Veg biriyani for lunch at school. Rice and curry, Chapathi with curry or anything with curry and sabji. With Veggies, egg etc would be normal lunch.
It's not biryani, We Maharashtrians call it khichdi and you can get that, Dal Rice n curry rice for alternate days for free in govt aided Schools.
I don't blame you, it's supposed to be Khichdi but they called it veg biryani. I mean at this point unicorn is more real than veg biriyani.
This!!
Biryani is offered in school canteens in many places in India. But biryani is also served with something on the side. It would have been nice if they had served it with a raita or something. No matter what they show it wouldn’t be a complete representation as India is very diverse. But appreciate the attempt here.
Singapore rarely has school lunches... its usually a huge school canteen with food stalls we purchase food from...
Exactly. I’ve read through the comments & it seems like they got the school lunches of the other countries wrong too. This is not their first video about other cultures with so much inaccuracy but yet they keep making such videos. Trying to be “woke” but spreading misinformation.
I grew up in the Philippines they don't have school lunches you either brought your own food or went and bought it from the store outside of the school 😂
Um, really? I live here my whole life and we do have school lunches in the canteen. They are not free though and are often unhealthy that's why most kids bring their own lunch & snacks (baon) which their parents cook for a more balanced meal.
Edit: Some public schools have free school lunch but not like what is shown here.
@@Kariktan214 yes but that is not school lunches those are lunches you buy from the store. Not the same thing lol I lived in San Fernando, and bagio city we had no options but to go to the markets to buy lunch
My school held whole day classes and students were not allowed to leave the school before dismissal. They had no choice but to serve lunch. Lunch was pretty good. You get rice, your choice of a meat dish, a vegetable dish, and a free soup. For snacks, bananas, sopas (fire) and cheese pimiento sandwich were staples. No meal was complete without Chuckie milk chocolate drink or strawberry yogurt drink.
That isn’t how it was for me. I had school lunches inside the school campus because students are not allowed to go out the campus until dismissal. So there was a canteen.
@@BigBadWolfeesame for me, we were not allowed to leave until dismissal so lunch had to be served.
As a Filipino, Im glad that they appreciated our version of school lunch, my lunches as a kid back in the day were rice, egg or meat or fish, or some leftovers like adobo, pork chops etc, I usually have juice in a jar that is stained orange bcoz the coloring for concentrates that time is on another level.
The lunch system we do have in government schools, and they definitely not provide biryani, it's always khichadi, vegetables, poha, simple rice daal, etc. varies from state to state normally. In general, All indian students bring their lunch from home which is normally Roti (Paratha, we have 100 of varities in paratha as well) with some dry curry (we have different options on that, Eggplant, moong, ladyfinger or okra, beans, cauliflower and potato, etc..) or roti with fried eggs, Idli sambhar, Chilla, Dosa, etc.... There are many Lunch options for kids in india, mostly in veg options which is tasty as well as nutritious for the kids.....Indian Lunch box for kids can't be defined in one simple veg biryani dish.
To be fair 🤣 as a Singaporean, i have never see such plated meal during my times in primary and secondary school.. nor the beehoon is that white. Usually it is cooked with dark soya sauce and also beansprouts and chives and other ingredients to make it more appetizing. Neither we have milk or apple, we get regular sodas and packet drinks.
No school or college I'm India serves Biriyani at lunch, not everyday....it's usually rice gruel, with any boiled pulses, or veg/ non veg curry ...or it's roti n curry (veg or non veg) with milk n boiled egg
It's actually so funny because as a Singaporean I did NOT eat that kind of food despite studying in government-funded(public) schools. It was always a large variety of cuisines since Singapore houses so many different cultures and thus foods. I would have western one day, onigiri and ramen the next, prata or murtabak on thurdays when the queue wasn't so cancerously long, and fried carrot cake on the last day depending on my mood. There really isn't a fixed Singaporean-representative school meal from my experience as a student, which makes this video hilarious. Like damn I didn't know my country, with its endless list of cuisines offered in public schools, had a school lunch like that (I likely would have avoided getting that exact meal ngl. Like where is my roast chicken and my stir fried vegetables? Greens are NOT limited to broccoli only in Asia HAHAHAH)
For those claiming that India doesn't provide biryani as school lunches, they showed that video about some charitable groups which provide free food including vegetable biryani as part of Mid day meal programme. Indian govt schools provide these meals for free but they are not standardised - it would vary from city to city as India is a big country. Most Indian pvt schools don't as they are not bound to by the govt, meals are usually brought from home or purchased from the canteen or somewhere near the school.
The video claimed to show veg biryani, but it resembled pulao or khichdi. Biryani isn't served for lunch in any Indian school; Akshaya Patra serves vegetarian meals, not biryani. Their midday meal program is for government-run schools, unlike private schools where students either bring their own lunch or purchase from the cafeteria.
As an Indian, i hereby declare that the dish they ate wasn't biryani, that's called a fukkking PULAO.
Although as an North Indian who has had biryani for school lunches(very rarely), I would like to correct and clarify that our most stable food is daal(lentils) and rice or roti(our flatbread). This would usually be accompanied by a 'sabji' which is a vegetable dish(literally just search the word and you'll find many variations!) And of course! We will also have yogurt which will be mixed with a salad of diced cucumber, onions, and chaat masala, and more sides like achar, papad.
*North indian
@@subhas394 Yupp thanks for the reminder! I'm actually from south india but i've lived in north india for my entire life so i'm used to the north cuisine more(even tho i prefer south indian cuisine anyday)
Sounds delicious.
This is very similar to south indian lunches as well
As a Singaporean student. That is not what we eat for "lunch" we don't even have lunch. We get recess which is at 9am or 10am which only grants us 30mins. I mean, Singaporean students have a plethora of foods, the show was giving an example of what is recommended. But we still eat our chicken rice, mee rebus, hell even briyani at 10am.
If America went by Japans standard with school lunch we’d be in better shape. They really don’t play with the nutrition of the food right down to production. Also the responsibility they teach the kids is untouchable
Filipino lunch is spot on. Even the cookies (except pepero). But the luncheon meat and egg paired with 1 type of vegetable. Perfect!
In singapore, we usually do not have catered school lunches for any age. We usually have 6~8 different themed stalls that sell healthier versions of food that you can get outside in restaurants/cafe/hawker, so that kids choose what they want and they learn to budget their allowances. Btw school is cheap is you don't have to worry that someone is eating up our school fees, it's free for citizens and $13 administration fees.
hotdog, noodles and eggs are for breakfast in the Philippines. But for the record Spam is American
Please do South America school lunches, like Venezuelan, Colombian, Peruvian, Argentinian, etc
the girl who keeps talking about how dessert is bad is so unbelievably wrong with that blanket statement
right that bothered me so much the children could eat dessert every day and still be healthy a lot of other countries have more restrictions on harmful ingredients in junk food and sugar is fine as long as the children are active and eating it in moderation
Izzy appreciates that crunch. Love it.
Love that Izzy is being a true Filipina by going straight for the Spam, which is the brand name of the luncheon meat .
Lol Spam is not even that common in the Philippines since it's fairly expensive. What's "true Filipina" about that?
As someone from India
Biriyani would be served at max, once a week (on the last day of the week if your school is boujee or ONLY on special occasions).
It’s more of a celebratory food than a staple food.
Daily lunches would have some combination of:
Roti, sabzi, dal (or sambar depending on the region) rice, pickle and curd.
Proteins vary based on region but the most common one would be boiled eggs.
Hope this helps!
As a Chinese, the food of China in video is a little bit…weird to me…? This combo is not common. Too much fruit. Pancake…I'm not sure what it actually is in video, but I think it should wrap other things, just like gyoza. Shrimp… I haven't seen it in school yet.
Hey guys, as much as I would love it....Biryani is unfortunately not a staple
Biryani is more like a special lunch meal or like something you would eat at parties with your college friends at night with some alcohol to drink and maybe include raitha (curd with vegetables and spices) as a side withe the biryani
Biryani is really popular in Hyderabad (where I live for most of my life) but other states have their own specialities like Gujarat is famous for their deserts, Karnataka is famous for their bisibela bath,etc.
Indian staple food for lunch is like rice with two or three curries and sambar (sort of like a spiced vegetable broth) and curd on the side or like even just chapati (flat bread) with the curry and you get desert occasionally like bread halwa (one of my favs) , gulab jamun, pysum (idk if i spelled it right haha) , etc. and its usually all vegetarian so that its accessible for both veg and nonveg folks!
Hope this helps ❤
To be fair in Singapore, we have a school canteen which has waaay better food than what they're eating.
Even the poorest areas in India don't just serve rice to students... it's always Roti, Sabzi, Rice, Salad.
Jack and Izzy! My two favourite reactors! Put them together and it would be bliss!
❤
15:56 Little fun fact: indonesian president-elect (prabowo or pak wowo) has a plan to give some free lunches in every public school, just as boarding school or 'pesantren' did 🤔
I mean Biryani is not Staple School lunch in India, at least not in major part. They focused on an organisation specifically catering to lunches. Staple food will also vary region to region. But mostly any form of "bread" (Roti, Puri, etc) with vegetables of choice for home cooked meals and "Roti, Vegetables, Lentils, Yoghurt, Salad," or something similar with maybe less dishes but all balanced. This was an inaccurate representation of Indian School Lunches.
agreed
Yeah Biryani is more like party food or like what you get on a special lunch day of the week... atleast that's how it is in Hyd (Biryani lovers)
re: the Philippines
that's not school lunch, that's office lunch 😆
Shoutout to the Philippines!
Would love to see you guys cover Africa & Latin American school lunches!
My ex-wife is Korean, and she is an excellent cook. She used to make her own kimchi, so hot that she could barely eat it. I would have to leave the house when she made it, because just the fumes affected me that bad. She made it by the plastic baby bathtub full and shared it with her friends.
From a student in the Philippines nobody eats/pack broccoli for baon😂
I would love for Jack and Izzy to travel in the Philippines and try all foods here lol
❤
yep! you nailed the Philippine lunch/ baon.
And like me who used to bring lunch back in Elementary and High school here in the Philippnes, we also sometimes trade part of our lunch to our classmates.
They forgot to include zesto
yeah
I'm Filipino but never brought broccoli for lunch. Parents usually make a quick breakfast in the morning (egg, spam, tocino, longganisa, hotdog, meatloaf, corned beef, tapa, etc) and that's your lunch or dinner leftovers.
I’m not sure if all Malaysian schools are the same, but for me back when I was in school, I sometimes have quite a variety of food to buy from with my school money like maybe mee soup, nasi lemak, fried rice, chicken rice, chicken nuggets, curry puffs, some fruits, etc.
Basically, not too heavy or normal meals (and fruits) which are enough to get your stomach full for breakfast or lunch. (Unless you bought a lot)
As an Indian, that's actually Pulao...similar to Azerbaijani version...and every state in India has a completely different lunch...like COMPLETELY different thing
yep in my school we had khhichdi here in hyderabad eventho our city is known for biryani 😭😭
Bro my state offers a verity of foods like very day different
From karnataka
Filipino baon would rice+egg+hotdog with ketchup. Hotdog can be replaced by tocino, corned beef, luncheon meat😂
My friends in China never had shrimp for lunch. Still, they got super yummy lunches, very similar to the Korean one, with a base of rice, vegetable side dishes, and protein, which usually changed daily: fish, chicken, pork, and tofu. Beef was not common.
Filipinos, hold your horses. It's obviously taken from a baon prep vid. Not based on actual cafeteria offerings. They call it spam when it's actually luncheon meat (like how it is with colgate). Some can put peppero, "for upper middle class". I do it for my kid when we have it here but for the most part, just basic stuff. I dont think anyone would bother making a baon prep vid if they're just gonna shove some good old adobo leftover and day old rice, so please, manage your expectations. Our school lunch came up on top. Stop complaining.
Don't get me wrong, I loved spam and rice as a kid and seeing it featured here gives me nostalgia, but I was expecting something from karinderyas. I'm happy that they appreciated the concept of 'baon', but we have so much more to offer aside from... imported canned meat from the USA. It's one seaweed away from looking like an American's culturally appropriated Japanese bento box.
I'm from the Philippines but when did we eat broccoli for lunch?? and pepero for dessert?? Where did you get that video from?? It should've been the red hotdogs, plain rice and banana ketchup 🤦♀️
taga private school kasi hahahaha
Their source's probably Fil-Am. Or grew up in a ✨rich✨ neighborhood.
@@koshikoshi-sj2hvyup my private school had pepero or these meji chocolates but it was a little expensive so it’s not an everyday thing. So it is still Filipino school culture.. just private
actually school lunch in the Philippines depends on the person when I was still in school sometimes I make my own "baon"
not filipino being called philippians but on the screen 😭😭
Somebody's confusing the book in the Bible with the country 🤣🤣
I mean I guess it's a majority Catholic country but my igorot ancestors are crying 😭 lmao
As a Filipino, I agree with the ✨vibes of that Filipino lunch. Since our schools usually don't serve lunches, our parents pack our lunches, and it's usually breakfast foods like egg and spam. Very hearty and nostalgic meal.
I'm Filipino and I'm surprised that we all love Jack!!! hahahaha personally, I love Jack and the two Izzys!
The guys get the idea of the Filipino lunch even though the one featured here is more modern, yes i said it it's modern and actually quit normal now to have pepero and cookies for the kids..this is the time of lunch moms would make, because schools here don't give out lunch meals, plus its quick and easy..a lot of people here are also complaining about the broccoli, like dudes its a modern Filipino lunch, what rock have you people been hibernating under? Haha..lunches in different countries changes through different times..spam or maling is modern, traditionally it would have been 'daing na bangus' haha..mga iyakin haha..it's a pack hardy meal and Filipinos work hard, we need that heavy rice power to get us through the day😂. I love this episode ❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing about Philippines but that's not our typical lunch.... Spam and brocolli are expensive here so we don't consume those on a daily basis but instead we have one or two of these: Filipino hotdot, eggs, cornedbeef, beefloaf, kangkong, dried fish, eggplants, or fried adobo.
And always with rice 😂😂😂
Yah and the eggs is usually scrambled because its lunch.
The most common i have seen in public school students is mongoes with rice.
I am from india and the normal school lunches in my school used to have dal chaval roti compulsory with a sabji kuchumbar or any kind of salad raita while on special days i.e. Saturday we used to get aloo vada noodles idli sambar but never biryani. My favorite was when they served rajma chaval those days were the best. We used to have bananas on the side ? For fresh fruits sometimes or most of the times i don’t remember
The Singapore lucnh system isn't a set in stone meal, its an array of stalls where you can choose what you want to eat, normally there are 2 drink stalls, 1 snack stall and 5 stalls of different cuisine typically foods you can find as street foods.
I didn't expect the Philippines to win on this one, cause the one that they served is just considered a breakfast and never a
Lunch
Go Izzy representing!!!! 🇵🇭 Don’t worry Jack we still love you 😍
The moment they used chopsticks for Filipino lunch, im like huh??? We only use fork and spoon lol not a lot of us know how to use chopsticks 😂
Also, spam is more of a high-end luncheon meat for us since it’s pricier so when you have that for lunch, that means you come from a rich or upper middle class family. We usually have rice, hotdog, and egg for the most part. But occasionally we have veggie meals like chop suey or giniling for our lunch too.
I have humbang lata or sometimes pork adobo for my baon.
@@solkalibri1376 ahh yes i have those ones too for lunch! Or sometimes she’ll give me extra allowance to buy lunch at school (they’re all homemade but with a price) if she didn’t have the time to cook. But most of the time, i just have school lunch whatever my mom makes.
Being from the Philippines, nothing wrong with spam and banana catsup but this is really not lunch time cafeteria food. Rice, choice of viands be it adobo, mechado and mix veggies. Seasonal fruit and gulaman sago or melon drink or cassava cake for dessert-now that’s typical!!
Agree. Even in college, still the same dish variations and desserts. Would be practical if it's cornbeef or Virginia hotdog hahahaha what you eat for breakfast will also be your lunch😂
Pepero on Filipino school meals? You're lying! We have Hi-Ro, Hansel, fudgee barr and complement it with zest-o
I’m still wondering where on earth is biryani being served for lunch cuz I carried maggi or parathas 🥲
maggi? Oh I assume ur not talking abt lunch box food. Ye wish they did govt elementary school food instead of the charity one, for the sake of the video. At least they get some donos from this ig
The one in the Philippines is screaming rich kid baon lol I only had rice in my lunch box then I just buy 'ulam" in the cafeteria or kalenderya, for dessert I had Max candy 🤣
Peppero for baon is definitely for the rich kids.
wth izzy is half filo?? 😭
anyways i dont rlly think the filipino lunch is quite accurate. like yeah we have veggie dishes as school lunch but im pretty sure no one brings broccoli for baon 💀 also u're missing red hotdogs and zest-o juice, that has always been my go to baon back in grade school lmao. the peppero is also random ngl instead of that it shouldve been jack n jill snacks lol
Peppero is more of a "high end" pretzel for Filos. But they shouldn't have served it with the main lunch that made it look like a dessert. It's more of a snack in between subjects.
The pepero is so accurate for me tho and broccoli and I never left the Philippines 😂
6:30 we love you guys, but that's not the typical 'baon' here in the Philippines. That's a rich kid's lunch here
As someone who's filipino and was raised filipino but grew up in singapore i can say this much... the pinoy food was pretty on point but our schools do have canteens/shops that sell food and the most popular (during my childhood) was fried chicken with rice; though spam is VERY common. Its either spam or pinoy sausages with rice in my fam. As for singapore, schools from primary (elementary) have food stalls that sell foods from the different cultures and ethnicities that live in singapore and more. Indian cuisine, chinese cuisine, malay cuisine and western cuisine are the main ones occasionally you'll have offshoots like chinese noodles, japanese cuisine etc. Also those noodles look a lil too thick to be actual bee hoon noodles, the ones we use are usually thinner. ALSO i cant live without rice in my meals.... I'd eat noodles with rice sometimes even...
Me looking at the Japan Lunch served on PVF and then staring at my current Kyushoku (school lunch) here in Japan; that's not what I got today. LOL.
But yeah, on average, meals are roughly $2.00-$3.00 per meal.
Which isn't too bad per month, here.
I’m not Indian but I saw that their parents are usually heavily involved in packing their lunches and most are vegetarian
Yes, I am a vegetarian....it's more like some people are veg and some are non veg
But usually in schools, they don't provide non veg items to make it accessible for all children
That one from indonesia, is EXACTLY the lunch my mom would pack for me for school 🤣 with the BANANA 🤣 this brings back memories
i'm gonna protest, Philippines lunch pack has chicken and langgonisa, menudo, giniling that what i see in my school cafeteria
Sorry but that's literally my typical baon since grade 5, and I'm now graduating college lol
Egg, beefloaf/spam, baguio beans or ginisang kangkong/sitaw (not really a fan of broccoli)
Which Singapore is this? Hahahaha.. We don't serve school lunches like this. We have various stalls at the canteen which sells different foods and you decide if you want to have local food, western food, etc. No kid will ever willingly buy milk to drink in school! Lol..
Also, to answer the question on whether Singaporeans live longer.. apparently Singapore is a blue zone. There's a documentary on that on Netflix.
I feel like what they showed here fits the stereotype of what people would think Singapore schools serve for lunch but no, our school lunches are unhealthy af. Definitely no milk or fruit (or vegetables).
@PeopleVsFood You gave them Japanese school lunch that didn't have natto, shirasu, or mozuku? Also where is the rice? If there's no rice there will be noodles or bread for energy. And for a treat you should have given them agepan or some yomogi mushipan!
I think most Filipinos would agree we don't put broccoli in our baon. That's just for aesthetic purposes, I think. Hahahaha! What we had in our baon back then were hotdogs, fried egg, tuyo (dried fish), and rice. But that's just for us who went to public schools. 😅
Tuyo as baon in grade school? That's brutal for everyone.
@@debbythespacechicken others have sardinas as baon too. I was lucky, I guess coz I never experienced having tuyo or sardinas as baon to school before. But I had classmates back then who did. It was common in public school for kids who are very poor. 😔
@@rossjardinel8581 I love sardines, and tuyo also but that smell would reek all over the classroom or cafeteria is what I mean as brutal for everyone.
@@debbythespacechicken I even had itlog na pula 😂
@@joongninetrash dude I meant the tuyo's smell. Itlog na pula is very delicious.
As a Singaporean I’m abit offended but it’s fine cause you don’t live in Singapore so you won’t know cause people often think Singapore food is always kinda basic and plain and boring but it’s actually really good
Your whole cuisine basically Malaysian cuisine. lol there's zero originality
We don't usually have Spam for lunch, because Spam is for middle class or higher class only.
Most commonly we have Fiesta or Argentina Beef loaf, corned beef or sometimes leftover food from breakfast like eggs or fish or dried fish. Sometimes paired with vegetables like MONGGO or Kangkong 😅 and not broccoli, because only rich people have those or filipinos currently living abroad.
In other words, almost perfect concept on filipino lunch especially the banana ketchup. But not there yet. Sorry, you need to broaden your research about filipino school lunches. Just saying.
True Monggo soup is my favorite lunch. I don't think I've ever had brocolli for lunch from elementary till college 😂
Well, in Singapore, those healthier meals are usually served for children in nursery and kindergarten (below 7 years old). Once they go to primary school, they will learn to buy their own food according to the different type of stalls. Each stall serve different types of food from Chinese, Indian, Malay and Western options plus a drink stall. So they will learn to buy pizza, spaghetti, nuggets from the western stall (prices range between 0.30~2 USD), etc. Like a pizza would probably cost less than a dollar. It's just to teach them communication and life skills. My 9 year old is able to order food on his own whenever we go to restaurants and count the money we gave him. I've grown up the same way and I always buy chicken rice in primary school. Back then, it cost way less for a plate of chicken rice. 😅
Hold up... they have hawker centres for kids?
As a Singaporean, that not what we eat at our schools😭
Our schools have stalls that sell Chinese, Malay, Indian and western foods. Even preschool kids eat food with more colors and flavors. Ya'll definitely gotta research better.
Singapore here.. lol. Don't remember having that for lunches in school 😂😂😂
Uh huh. So wrong.
That's NOT biryani.. its pulav and biryani isn't served as school lunch....we have idli Upma sheera pulav samosa dal and rice w pickle.. Parathas.. it depends on the days if the week. Also we get milk sometimes.
i had pulao for my school lunch
I'm a Singaporean.. that is not our lunch at school :D ahahhah! I remember we had chicken rice, Mee goreng, Nasi Lemak, etc.
Im Filipino and i think it would be more accurate if they give them red hotdog imprinted in the rice 😂
the broccoli threw me off too bec whooo??? Def not in my household💀💀
😂 LOL truest of all school lunches. Including beefloaf or corned beef. Breakfast or dinner leftovers.
@@U-NEEKmine did..
Never have I ever had Biryani served as school lunch 💀 AND THAT TOO JUST BIRYANI WITHOUT THE RAITA (YOGURT)
True.😂 and we used to get biriyani only during dinner. Also during special occasions only😅
Reality: dal or soup of water with rice that's it but it's ok we need to save up for cute fluffy politicians
Biryani or veg pulao is like a common thing thing now in most schools and hostels now
You guys really do China dirty. My school lunch when I was in China definitely is not looked like that. Damn, there is so many delicious lunch in my canteen. The canteen is more similar with what you showed in Korea where you can pick the food or the staff hand it to you which usually consists of rice with 3 or 4 sides of vegetables or meat dish.
I also want to retort on Indonesia part cause I grew up on it, that fried tofu looks kinda bad and unappetizing, why not simply choose Indonesian fried rice or mie goreng which is popular as school lunch here (since you chose briyani as you present India)
bro brooo there in india biryani don't get served in whole north and west part of india here in Rajasthan Punjab Haryana delhi most of here lunch would be sabji roti and dahi or paranthe plus sabji or dahi in lunch!!
Since when did Chinese people eat pancakes like that? Chinese people eat pancakes, but they’re normally egg pancakes called jianbing. Also Chinese people normally eat rice as their carbs. Pancakes are normally their breakfast food. 😅
The "Goodness Gracious Me" reference was not expected! Well done! 🤣😂 If you grew up in a British household in the 90s, you'll know.
this singapore school lunch looks to me is from a private school version (Healthy option)... neighbourhood ones where I came from, we have a variety of chinese, malay, indian & western cuisines at any given time... its called a canteen btw
My grandmother is korean. She makes kimichi the old fashioned way. And yes, it is superior to store bought.
The first school lunch they had in this episode came from South Korea 🇰🇷
If any of you have a interest in Korean cuisine, make sure you reserve a flight to Seoul to try out their school lunches!
Delta, United, American, and Korean Air all have direct flights to Seoul
As a indian this is my first time knowing that biriyani is being served in any freaking school lunches😂😂😂 atleast veg pulao was acceptable but biriyani, FR?
The philippine one is pretty off 🥲 broccoli is a pretty pricey vegetable so it isn't that common. We usually had rice and one dish (if we bought it in the cafeteria or a carinderia, it would usually come with free soup.) Snacks would greatly depend if you bring some or if you buy some. Pepero is honestly too pricey. I think I had a pack of biscuits or cookies or whatever hot snack they had at the cafeteria.
For the japanese one, the serving size on video is pretty large compared to the actual serving size. But it does come with rice or bread. In my area, a meal has 600-700 calories, and usually carb-heavy 😅 (as an example, today's lunch was a carton of milk, vegetable soup with a bit of meat, edamame, 2 tiny weiners and a hotdog bun.)
