Cafeteria – Ka fuh teer ree a

Original –

When I work in Dongtan on week days, I usually enjoy the lunch in the cafeteria. In this restaurant, I just need to pay 15yuan for a lunch that includes a kind of meat dish, a half meat and half vegetable dish, two vegetables dishes, a bowl of rice, a soup and a kind of fruit or a cup of yoghurt. What a delicious food! On the other side, if I eat food on weekend, the food is bad that is no fresh and nice. I think the main reason is because no leaders to eat at that time.
