BUKIT MERTAJAM: School canteen food may seem simple, but it means a lot to many Malaysians, who still cherish delightful memories of their favourite dishes even decades after having left school.

Whether it is nasi lemak, roti canai, curry mee, popiah or curry puff, there is just something about canteen food that makes the flavours linger long into adulthood and you may find no other version of these dishes seems to quite match the taste you remember from your schooldays.
