[@leonakuo4072]

wow, I was always curious about rez food in terms of variety/options and price. thank you for going through all of your meals, one by one and breaking down the price in an easy to follow way. I definitely feel more informed about the decisions I should be making next year. :^)

[@Martin_Leung]

Thanks! That was my goal with the video. Glad to hear it helped!

[@leonakuo4072]

I'm glad to see that you're relying on yourself for some foods that are easier to cook - we don't eat unwashed rice here. especially since it's a little harder to go out and buy prepared food, one of the most important skills to have right now is basic cooking.

[@Martin_Leung]

Yes! It's definitely important to learn this beforehand so we don't end up relying on expensive takeout in the future!

[@MsLivinglegend19]

Omg I just randomly came across your channel and it made me so happy! I was on exchange at Western last year but stayed in med syd :) I miss western’s campus so much!

[@Martin_Leung]

Aw I'm glad to hear that! I hope your experience at Western was amazing! :)

[@336kp]

The goose singing while you eat, fantastic 😁

[@Martin_Leung]

LOL thanks for watching!

[@pranavmahajan2350]

I SMASHED that like button

[@clairezhang1809]

Wait when you include the prices these foods, is it included in the meal plan otherwise you pay for it

[@Martin_Leung]

Hey! At the beginning of the year you pay a set amount for your meal plan. With that amount, you have a balance that is subtracted from (hence the prices I mention). When that amount runs out you can add more money to it at www.mealplan.uwo.ca/topup/ Hope that helps, thanks for watching!

[@maximiassinovski1829]

mans been watching too much Graham Stephen I can tell 😂

[@Martin_Leung]

woah someone actually noticed 😂

[@maximiassinovski1829]

Martin Leung lmaoo

[@joshuanoronha3135]

Did u find that the meal plan was enough to cover you for all 3 meals, 7 days a week or did u find yourself making lots of food?

[@Martin_Leung]

It's enough, usually I just cook rice and buy things like fruits (ie avocadoes) to eat as well because it's cheaper to buy it at the grocery stores compared to res

[@Martin_Leung]

I also brought in a huge pack of nuts as a snack (which I only eat a bit of at a time)

[@Martin_Leung]

keep in mind that I'm about 5'7",129lbs and moderately active for context on my food consumption

[@Martin_Leung]

*note: I brought oatmeal from home in case I ever wanted to eat breakfast (just threw in a banana and peanut butter for that---I made a video on it for some reason LOL)

[@jenniferzhang9508]

have you had problems with "freshman 15"

[@Martin_Leung]

LOL I haven't! As long as you watch the amount you eat and keep up with being active, then there's nothing to worry about!

[@joshuanoronha3135]

What meal plan option did u choose?

[@Martin_Leung]

are there options now? there was only one option in my year at least😅

[@gladischan8841]

The food in “Congee Chan” is greasy and expensive!!

[@Martin_Leung]

Yeah, I didn't enjoy it too much. Thanks for watching!

[@rodnechan9586]

*chuckles* We're in danger

[@Martin_Leung]

I prefer to stay home either way, stay safe!

[@eugenewong__]

*chicken t!tt!es hehe

[@Martin_Leung]

classic, the good'ol option when there's nothing but fried foods LOL

[@arvinabedi291]

They clean the rooms for u in uni??

[@Martin_Leung]

I believe it depends on where you go. For Ontario Hall at Western University, they clean your room every 2 weeks (they will not touch the areas that your stuff sits on). I'm not sure if other university residences have this service.

[@arvinabedi291]

Martin Leung coool!! Also great video I really liked it. Res food looks really good!

[@Martin_Leung]

At Western University, all residences are cleaned biweekly, but suite styles (Essex and Elgin Hall) are cleaned once a month. However, I cannot speak for other universities.

[@Martin_Leung]

Thank you! That means a lot! There are definitely "better" (subjectively) looking food at the dining hall, it just doesn't fit into what I'd eat on the regular haha

[@jenniferzhang9508]

THERE IS SO MUCH PLASTIC PACKAGING! >:(

[@Martin_Leung]

Don't worry, besides the veggie wraps the green plastic box thingies are washed and reused!

[@Martin_Leung]

Though I do dislike the fact that the wraps and stuff are in plastic and not a paper bag of some sort...
