A new school year has begun, bringing fresh energy, new beginnings and exciting experiences for students to discover. To celebrate the start of this new chapter, The Caterers is delighted to introduce the newly refreshed The BIStro at British International School Ho Chi Minh City (BIS HCMC) — a vibrant dining destination designed to give students more choice, more variety and a more engaging way to enjoy their meals every day.
More than simply a food counter, The BIStro has been created as a dining experience — a space where students can choose, explore and build their meal around their own preferences.
Featuring two signature concepts, SIZZLE and SALAD, The BIStro brings together freshly prepared dishes, the energy of street-food-inspired cuisine and an abundance of fresh, colourful ingredients.
SIZZLE – FRESHLY PREPARED, FULL OF FLAVOUR
At the SIZZLE counter, dishes are prepared directly at the station, creating the energy and excitement of an open kitchen while bringing the vibrant spirit of street food into the school dining experience.
The menu changes daily, offering students new flavours and something different to look forward to at lunchtime. Students can also choose between small, medium or large portions, allowing them to select an amount that suits their appetite.
SIZZLE is therefore about more than simply serving food. It creates an engaging moment where students can see their food being prepared and experience a more dynamic connection between the kitchen, the food and the diner.
SALAD – CREATE YOUR OWN FRESH COMBINATION
While SIZZLE brings warmth and energy, SALAD offers a fresh and creative alternative.
At the Salad counter, students can build their own bowl from a selection of fresh greens, fruits, protein options and freshly prepared sugar-free dressings.
Every bowl can be different. Students can choose more vegetables, add their favourite fruits, select a preferred protein or experiment with a new combination.
This simple freedom of choice turns lunchtime into an opportunity for students to discover ingredients, understand their food and take greater ownership of what they choose to eat.
SMART EATING – MAKING RESPONSIBLE CHOICES
One of the distinctive features of The BIStro is its “Smart Eating” approach: students pay only for what they actually take.
It is a simple concept, but one that can help encourage more responsible consumption habits.
By choosing their own food and portion sizes, students are encouraged to think more consciously about what they need, how much they take and the value of the food they consume.
It becomes a small but meaningful lesson beyond the classroom — encouraging independence, responsibility and greater awareness of food waste.
MORE THAN A DINING SPACE
With The BIStro, The Caterers aims to make school dining a more enjoyable and meaningful part of everyday student life.
Because a great meal is about more than taste. It is also about how food is prepared, how students make choices, the environment in which they enjoy their meal and the positive habits they develop along the way.
From freshly prepared dishes at SIZZLE to colourful, personalised bowls at SALAD, The BIStro brings together flavour, freshness, choice and responsibility in one engaging dining experience.
It reflects The Caterers' commitment to creating school food experiences that are not only enjoyable, but also encourage students to eat well, choose wisely and develop a deeper appreciation for food.
The new school year has arrived. A new dining experience is ready. And at The BIStro, every school day brings something new to discover.
A new school year. A new experience. A whole new way to enjoy school dining.
