You like to try unit cook which may cost $1/meal for lunch/dinner ? Try cooking your food in detegent and eat it, and remember to add some sand as it always come in a package. You can eat it everyday at home.

Lunch: Braised Shark's Fin Soup, Sea Cucumbers with Mushrooms, Fried Rice with dried scallops, Hand made Noodles with pacific clams.

Dinner: Buddha Jump over the Wall, Caviar Delight, baby abalone with asparagus, Stewed Duck with 8 treasures, Norwegian Style Black pepper salmon

ask the cook to watch the series by jamie oliver on nutrition food vs garbage food for the school

GenX SG

well too bad for you,the majority of guys like unhealthy oily food.

Dun like it,dun eat lor,pay for your own food,very simple what.

That is what we did too back then we ate unit cooked food.Yeah like what some flamers here said,you will never ever know how suck the food then was.If then we did not like the food,we just went to the canteen and pay ourselves.Last time our allowance was only $200+ for a corporal.Now pay so high liao,dun tell me you cannot afford it

its not about liking it or disliking it, its about nutrition and health value. i'm surprised that SAF would dish out such food for the soldiers to consume when they preach that combat soldiers should always remain fit for combat.. Rolling Eyes

I didn’t like the amount of processed food that was used either. Ice-cream once a week is alright, but one gets a serving of spam, corned beef, fishballs, nuggets, powdered potatoes, etc almost daily. I’m surprised by the prices that we pay for each meal too.

fs3704l SG

just finished my ICT and the food is still the same like ten years ago. there is no real value for money. i dont think anyone is going to pay that kind of money outside or anyone providing that kind of food will go bust.
i is controlled by the government which caterers will get the contract, playing the left and right pocket game. the entry level for other caterers will be too high. you will need to propose the menu, get it tested by the buggers and DASTA before it shows up in the cook house. further more the caterer will have to keep the samples for every meal including night snacks in case of food poisoning which the caterer will pay for the testing.
i worked in food fare for a while and the system is shit. the messing office is corrupt and fcuk. i also have a friend who is a messing officer, he told me that if he wants to screw with the caterer it is just too easy. the damn kitchen have to be clean as a whistle, insect free too. and yes, the messing officers can fine the caterers.
verdict, unless the government stop all the distortion of the market i should get better food. 1 low key MR lor!!!!

GenX SG

who said it is not about like or disliking it.Now with welfare army,you get regular surveys on how is the food,if most people vote that bland nutritious food is not their choice,then it will be changed to reflect the popular vote.

If you have being in the army b4,i wonder why are you surprised?Never heard of the term wayang?Everything is just wayanging inside,so as if the army really care you eat good nutritious food,at the end of the day,it is just about the budget and how much they can save.As long as the menu is popular among most soldiers,they will try to get away as much as possible with it.So you end up with oily unhealthy food that taste a tad better than nutritious food.The army is not going to spend extra effort to use special cooking methods to make nutritious food taste better when there are cheaper easier alternative.So dun be surprised,army should by "right" but almost everything is by "left".

So just lanlan suck it up,either you eat it or you pay your own $$$.Unless you can convince the majority of soldiers to like bland healthy food,then accept the situation,at least now the food is much much better.Everytime i go back for reservist,it always reminds me how lucky the present batch are,got such good food compared to our era.

i am definitely disappointed with sfi food. it’s not that they are unhealthy or not nutritious. but i am expecting the food to be much better especially since saf is paying a bomb per head.

HeyshambaYehshamba SG

domt u see it

Nutritious healthy food taste sux
oily, fatty or fried food taste better.

Logic

If u give the first kind, soldiers complain why no taste
u give the 2nd kind still complain , then how

Might as well all eat sh$t lah. Much cheaper

in my opinion, SAF food is not really so bad in terms of taste.
ok lah, they are way away from hawker-standard food, but they're way better than what I expect (before my NS, i thought they would feed us wheat rice + some tiny drumstick + preservered beans crap).

however, in terms of nutrition/health value, i agree with the original poster.
SAF always say that their food is not the best but is high in nutrition value and is adequate every individual soldier, even on the battle field.

but imagine a small serving of rice + some meat(the meat are usually "patties".......you NS brudders know what I mean) and some veggies.
a lot of the time, after you've finished the food, you'll see a pool of yellowish thick oil left on the plate. also, if you eaten already and you ask for another serving, they will be very reluctant to give. some SFI chefs even complain to the QM / 2IC. KNN.

that's my biggest complaint. low morale everytime i see the serving and type of food......maybe if i kenna captured by enemy, they'll feed me better.

also, i used to be in charge of food rations last time; the average cost per lunch (or dinner) is around S$4.00 - S$5.00
what i don't understand is why they don't instead cater hawker food instead.

Marco_Simone SG

To me,SAF food is OK...well coz I have low taste threshold for food.

Anyway,how the night snack nowadays? Still having buns?
