Canteens

NTU is a haven for foodies looking for delectable yet reasonably priced food. There are eleven canteens serving a variety of Chinese, Western, Malay, Indian, and Japanese and Korean fare. Besides the heavily-patronized food court located at Block N2.1 and Canteen B at the South Spine,  canteens can also be found in Halls of Residence 1, 2, 4, 5, 9, 11, 13, 14 and 16. Hot and cold beverages, fruits and popular local desserts add to the wide array of dishes. Brand names like Mr. Bean and “Each-A-Cup” can now be spotted at Canteen B serving different flavor drinks using natural and quality ingredients.

Canteens in the Halls of Residence are open daily from 7 am to 9 pm. The food court and Canteen B are open from 7am to 9 pm from Mondays to Fridays. They stay open till 3pm on Saturdays. Fast food die-hards can choose from McDonald’s, Subway, Canadian Pizza and Old Chang Kee, all of which are conveniently located at Block N2.1.
