(Rations) Beware the Pongtay

Had my field camp a few weeks ago and I must say it was pretty interesting. In fact, it was pretty fun! Lessons on how to move through and overrun the enemy, firing m16s1 blanks like nobody's business, and the powder bath..hahahaha

The field rations was given to us, frankly, was not as bad as I expected, granted that the food in packed long ago plus the fact that this is the army. They are called field Combat Rations..not chalet rations..


Anyways, here's the menu. There are 5 in each category (muslim/non-muslim). All are halal.

A 24- ration consists of 1 menuX pack, an accessory pack (with fruit bars, biscuits, solid fuel etc) and 1 pack of maggi.


Muslim:

Menu 1. Mutton Beriani (Briyani?) Rice, Japanese Curry noodles with Chicken + (Desert) Bubur Terigu with Corn

Menu 2. Chicken Kleo Pasta, Chicken Curry Noodle + (Desert) Peanut with Red Date

Menu 3. Dhall Rice with Chicken, Black pepper pasta with chicken + (Dessert) Peanut with Lotus Root

Menu 4. Mutton Dhallcha Noodles, Nonya Curry Chicken Rice + (Dessert) Green bean Barley

Menu 5. Chicken Lemak Pasta, Chicken Mee Goreng + (Deesert) Corn with Mixed bean.

Non Muslim:
(Note: Dessert arrangement is similar to Muslim..meaning Muslim menu1 dessert is the same as non-muslim menu 1 and etc)

Menu 1. Dried Shrimp Glutinous Chicken Rice, Chicken Noodles in Tomato Basil

Menu2. Chicken Pongtay Rice, Mushroom Rice with Chicken

Menu 3. Peranakan Style Chicken Dumpling, Pasta with Shredded Chicken

Menu 4. Glutinouse Rice with Chicken Sausage and Chili Flakes, Oriental Seafood Noodle

Menu 5. Cabbage Rice with Chicken, Mushroom and Chicken Noodle


Generally, and sadly, most of the muslim rations tastes much better than their non-muslim counterparts. Most noodles/pasta menus are good...even though the real difference between pasta and noodles, in this case, is its colour...lol!

AVOID the PONGTAY RICE AT ALL COSTS!

tip: depending on how your Sarges distributes the rations, don't be an idiot and take the entire box of menu 2 with u.
Non-Muslim favs are Menu 1,3 and 4. Some say 1,3,5. Wadeva it is, stay away from menu 2. Otherwise...there's always the food latrine.....
