At MILC, meals are an integral part of the boarding experience, providing both nourishment and a sense of comfort and community. Our meal program offers a diverse and culturally inclusive menu that reflects a blend of Eastern and Western cuisines. We provide breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily, with all dinners served as hot meals to ensure students enjoy a satisfying and nutritious end to their day. Our menu is thoughtfully planned to cater to a range of tastes and dietary needs, helping students feel at home while also introducing them to new flavours. Meals are served in a shared dining space that fosters social connection, and we regularly host special themed meals and events to celebrate different cultures and create a welcoming, communal atmosphere.
