Food In A PG/Hostel – Yay Or Nay?

If the web browser’s history is populated with the phrase ‘PG near me for females with food’ (or “PG near me for males with food” for the guys), we get you. For anyone planning a move to a new city and narrowing down some places to settle in, one of the biggest worries is food. One doesn’t exactly expect the taste of home-cooked food in PGs, but burnt chapatis and half-cooked daal are not what you’d like to taste either. Most PGs with the food you plan to move to will offer daily meals, but the quality of food served is often sub-par. This norm has become so popular that it often goes on to become a part of nostalgic hostel conversations in the future. Like “remember that daal that was more watery than the Jhelum river”?

Now, although a PG with food that’s super bad in quality may add a touch of humor to your future conversations, on serious terms, this may heavily impact your health. But what if we tell you that there is one place where you can get the best of delicious, quality meals every day? That’s right. With Stanza Living, both your mother and you can stop worrying about terrible food being served at the hostel. Our meals are made fresh daily, in hygienic kitchens, and served to you piping hot, full of packed flavor and an ounce of love.

Things to Consider While Checking if Good Quality Food is Being Served to You:

Let’s get down to business first. After decades of serving students, most owners of a PG with food stop caring about what kind of grub is being served to students and how it may impact their health. As long as their bank accounts are being loaded at the start of every month, they could barely care. As a student or working professional planning to shift to a PG for males with food or one for females, here are some of the things to consider:

Hygiene

This one may sound like a no-brainer, but boarders often tend to overlook it. The hygiene factor goes beyond clean rooms and washrooms/ You should scan around and look for the hygiene situation in the kitchen, where your food is being made. It often happens that the food being served to you is made in terrible, unhygienic areas with flies and mosquitoes buzzing all around. Who would want their food laced with disease-causing bacteria? That sounds like no fun.

This is why Stanza Living has FSSAI-approved cloud kitchens, where delicious and hot meals are made and the strictest hygiene standards are maintained. The ongoing pandemic situation has taught us that ignoring hygiene can take away a lot from people.

Cooking Process

Meals should ideally be prepared in a manner that is enough for all residents and none of it goes to waste or finds itself inside the fridge. Even on days when the food is in excess, the storage area should itself be clean, lest the food gets contaminated.

Putting your trust in professional chefs and kitchen staff, and managed PGs like Stanza Living ensures that clean, healthy, and fresh food is being served to you daily. Their well-trained housekeeping staff ensures that there is a balance between all the nutrients served to you and no food goes to waste. Raw materials are stored in state-of-the-art kitchen spaces and the refrigerators are fully stocked with all kinds of food items ready to be cooked.

Planned Meals

While running a full-blown PG with food, getting meals without any proper planning will create chaos every month. Having a properly planned, well-managed team that will take care of the food being served every week will not only save time and money but will also ensure that boarders get a balanced diet every day.

Stanza Living’s professionally managed apartments take care of your weekly meal plans and ensure that you get all nutrients in your meals daily. Moreover, all the other necessities like laundry, internet facilities, housekeeping, and cleaning are maintained by a super-efficient team that never fails.

So now you know. It is not the food that is made to taste bad, it is the management and coordination that makes or mars the quality of the food. Instead of giving in to the quintessential PG/hostel culture of lousy food being served, give Stanza Living a chance to prove wrong to the entire PG population that has solemnly agreed to believe that PG food tastes bad. With our best professional in-house kitchen staff, get your meals prepared and served fresh daily, with no complaints about overcooked rice or bland curries.
