Army Food is getting Better & Better!!!

[laksaboy]

The food looks like shit.

Well, give credit when credit's due.

At least it's better than that dog food Vivian Balakrishnan had served to YOG volunteers.

Army food was most memorable as a non event for me, can't even remember any dish served becos it was so terrible! i remember everything was really watery & diluted, it was basically rice drowned in watery gravy & some veg & some unidentifiable meat. after bmt & posted to unit, i lived off calerfare until ROD, i remember one exercise during bmt we had to remove the webbing out of our helmuts & placed those chicken rice brown paper inside & queue up behind the 3 tonner, the cook just slop the lunch into it & we used hands to eat. it was that bad but my elder bros will say during their time it was even worst! So pls enjoy ur Army food now, you dun knows how lucky u are man! oh.. what is night snack 1 & 2? got choice one? my time was dog biscuit & weak tea niah

I served NSF at the old 2PDF TC at Sembawang Camp. The Chinese cookhouse then was quite good. The problem came when there was an in-camp, and the cookhouse was handed over to the reservist cooks. For the most part standards plummeted during full ICTs. I remember the curry puffs fondly...

Some reservist cooks are hotel cooks by profession.

Last time you combat engineering izit

Nothing like what we had:

1. sandy rice
2. pale green/yellowish veggies (overcooked)
3. tasteless fish
4. rubber chicken
5. leather beef
6. dishwater soup

cooked by recruits, not Sats..

gedong reservist cookhouse still as sucky as ever

my first two ICT at gedong was at the old ATC up a small knoll beside the armoured engineer. That time was pre-SAR period so the rumor then was that a meal cost $7+ so the food was fantestic. But when ATC shift to the new buildings near the main gate, the standard drop a lot, rumor against because of the SFI new contact was only $5+ a meal, so quality went south. my last ICT at 2009, it was so bad that many of us reservists rate the food as lousy at the cookhouse survey machine. apparently too many ppl rated lousy that the trainers tell us to "shou xia liu qing" wahaha...

For those who actually can cook, army food is still better than most prc run hawker.

NS Food = Good ?

Well, give credit when credit's due.

It teaches you that NS and volunteerism don't pay.

Not so bad lah. Some PRCs can still cook well but not according to the historical standard for some choosy eaters. SFI is a biz.

Re: Tasty ?

Its also about hygiene. Go to any prc staff restaurants and find their smoking point. Just look at the cooks and you will know what I mean. I am a chef by trade and most restaurants that are own by local chinese also dun wanna hire prc cooks. Unless its a chinese cuisine restaurant.

Re: Tasty ?

smc days. cadets had to share soup from a china bowl. very unhygenic but after a day of tough physical and mental activities, any soup was good.

 

[eatshitndie]

chicken wings are some of the worst. hormonal injections are made at the wings. with skin on, wings have the highest concentration of fat per square inch in a chicken. and there's not much meat to provide protein. might as well get a protein shake.

mexican cooks and kitchen help are the best. cheap. good. hardworking. punctual. can stand heat in kitchen. high endurance. eager to learn.

Why should officers be served better food? That's the problem with sinkapore - the class divide. If the officers are smart, they would want to live like the soldiers they lead or face being deserted by the troops.

They already get the perks: separate mess halls, separate dining tables at the cookhouse, and separate parking lots.
