SAF Rations

u r more lucky...my time oni can food, jus open n eatOriginally posted by wuming78:hm.. perhaps u were lucky to haf tried the nicer menus (last i knew, there were like 6 menus). and yes, the rations are definitely more edible and tasteful when heated and when one is hungry with nothing else to eat. but yes, u cannot get it anywhere and its supposedly an offence to bring it out of an saf compound for consumption (except perhaps for the smaller items in the menus tt are commercially available).
dun worry u will haf ur chance. -
yeah. things haf changed and improved for the better.Originally posted by greyskymorning:u r more lucky...my time oni can food, jus open n eat -

Pasta taste best when heated up. Once, at mt. biang, my pl's mg gunner start quite a big fire cooking all the pasta we gathered around 8 packets split into two times. There are some who mix pasta and maggi mee without seasoning to get spagetti. After the big fire, i threw a green pack into the hot coals, immediately it was heated up and taste really different. For me, i usually eat glutinous rice if we can't set up fire due to tactical reasons or time constraints.
Haven't tried chicken curry rice yet. I'm issued 3 x 24hrs ration for the coming exercise next week. I would try to rate some for you all.
-
Green/Red Bean soup: 9/10
I would love to give a 10 if not for the petty amount in the packet. Comparatively, they are the best I have tasted lah.
Chicken Curry comes second to it: 7.5/10
It does goes well with Instant noodles too and is best served hot. -
worse SAF Combat Ration: Satay Pasta

You paid helluvalot for the flight. The food has to be good.Originally posted by sgFish:haha i think i tried the curry chicken one. its kinda nice la. a bit off topic here but who here likes airline food (in general)? -
SAF MREs sound positively heaving. Luckily in my day we only got the US MREs on LRRP missions - those were OK. However, some of us were tempted to tie a few brownies together and see if it would be effective as a flak vest.
I always threw out the canned rations - got a couple of cans of Campbells and some packs of UHT milk and hey presto! New England Clam Chowder at BTEC! -
