SAF Food Disappointing...Unhealthy n Not NUtritious
-
i hope saf can do something about food we consume. i am not complaining about taste of food although its pathetic , i m complaining about the nutrition value.
lets see typical meals at my place. Breakfast manily are 1 (Baos n kuehs), 2(Fired beehon/mee thats very oily), 3 (Thawed parata with super oily curry),4(Chee chiong fun)..etc
Lunch n DInner . Every week will have ~2-3times friend kuay teow/mee with fried chicken wing, patties. ~1 time mee goreng with again fried chicken wing. ~2 times nasi lemak with fried chicken wing or fish (thats 3/4 flour).
rest are just rice n vege n meats n most of time meats are fried..
As u can see complete unnutritous. Almost everyday garanteed will have fired stuff. N i m complaining about the taste yet
. PLs lah liddat how fight war when everyone either is too fat or too skinny -
i know why saf like to give fried food..cause its easy to prepare..just take a huge pot fill with oil n throw all the food to be fried.
very seldom i see steam/grilled food -
You buy MRE and eat lor.

i am planning and thinking... still got no time to email them... dunno if they sell by small amount or not...Originally posted by Darkness_hacker99:You buy MRE and eat lor. -
I sympathize with those soldiers who work their ass off...for our well being............Soldiers bear with it...the nation need you....
During my stint in ns ,the food is exactly the same as what u mentioned in the earlier post...I think this unhealthy food cycle will gone on for many many years.....I doubt this will change...The ironic here is the food is not cheap for one plate i think cost about 6 buck...haiz..So exp but the food is not good for health...So what is the point of paying so much..??i wonder...

eating 2yrs of chicken wing made me sick already go outside i will never EVER buy them

actually i have been buying food in to replace my meals in camp when i find the food unacceptable. Usually i bring stuff like oats,bread, milk, protein shakes, canned tunas. I guess i m 1 of those interested in fitness n wellbeing.
But in my opinion even for the majority others, they deserve better food especially those comabt personnels . Everytime i see soldiers sweating out , rp doing guard duties , most of time i see stick-like soldiers standing there like POWS. Even my friend before entering camp has quite fit n lean, now he has shrunk n got fatter at the wrong areas.
I am not asking for very good tasting or expensive food, just reasonably healthy food. -

All the soldiers will have high blood pressure.
-
all right; more running to keep the weight off
-
yes i noticed that too. the food SFI prepares are indeed not nutritious at all. soup too salty, too many deep fried food, syrup too sweet etc.
but then again at least in my opinion they are better than tekong food which are nutritious yes, but tasteless. -
Who's the supplier? SFI and it's a monopoly. Forget about any feedback to them. Wayang only, like our govt.
Singapore Food Industries - most probably the CEO is linked to the Lee family. (Don't quote me; just an assumption)
How does one explain their stay as the supplier for donkey years? -
Which camp you are from?
Me go back for reservist but everyday guaranteed different food, ranging from western to eastern to italian to thai to viet wor... -
I really don't what kind of Contract SAF signed with the caterers.
at $5.50/meal, i calculate worse case scenario also dunno how to get this sum.
I know they need to have "back-up" meals in case there was overconsumption.
Then they need to OT the food preparers for breakfast.
Still, i don't see how it is justified.
I believe the amount of food they prepared has gone beyond the point of economies of scale that it becomes astronomically expensive to sustain -
That would explain why I ate canteen all the way after BMT when I do not like the menu for the meal.
-
During my last ICT i notice the cookhouse everyday serve chicken...either deep fried, curry etc.

dont wana tell lol, anyway i dont mind if it lack taste just nutritious will do..The worse thing is food i eat is neither nutritious nor delicious. IN fact although tekong food is bad, i prefer tekong food cause at least it has less fried stuff and is more nutritious.Originally posted by dork3d:Which camp you are from?

Instead of friend chicken, why not steam/braised it? Instead of fried rice, ffs just give white rice. Instead of frying the fish, steam it!!!!! AND FFS STOP GIVING FRIED KUAY TEOW/MEE/MEE GORENG. Every time i see FRIED KUAY TEOW/MEE/MEE GORENG i can forget about consuming it n stick to wad i bought (bread, oatmeals,milk
). SOmetimes conseceutively for lunch n dinner its so bad that i finsh a loaf of grain bread n 1 carton of HL milk
The cooks are just damn bloody lazy cause frying is the fastest most convienent way to make a meal. -
LMAO 5.50 i can buy a very delicious n nutritious food outsideOriginally posted by Ponders:I really don't what kind of Contract SAF signed with the caterers.

let me guess for all the food, most are fried/soaked in oil rite -
cook hse food r overpriced .. overrated .. n sux to the core .
for 5.5 per meal , saf is overpaying way too much . the quality of it is like bagala food oso nicer . i have eaten mee rubus with orange turning red mees . curry chicken over cooked . n the most outrageous of all is seeing the cookhse personnel da-baoing food n claim to have not enough for indentation . i have personally seen them dabao at 4pm n close super early when the supposed time is 7-730.
nt to mention the menu is nt appetitsing at all -
Use more potatoes and pasta. Pasta is actually cheap to prepare. Boil and serve.
Healthier and gives more energy. Last time at SMM, I only went to the cookhouse when it was pasta day. -
I think the cookhouses might be having some "complecency" issues.

Do u think SAF will revert back to individual unit cooks?

No I dun think so.Originally posted by Arapahoe:Do u think SAF will revert back to individual unit cooks?

But I think the current cooks might be sick of soldiers complains of this thing not nice, that thing not nice.. Well, you can't please everyone.
Maybe soldier should have some days of individual unit cooks who cooks plain food, not really not nice food (with the canteen closed) to make soldiers relised that sometimes, cookhouse food is better than individual unit cooks' food.
I had one in my training camp in Taiwan in 2005. Wah piang eh. For the first time, I prefer some lousy combat rations, than live rations cooked by reservist unit cooks.
From then on, I learn to appreciate cookhouse food done by SFI, or NTUC Foodfare.
