  • Check out this Indonesian 24 Hour MRE - this Ration Pack weighs 4 and 1/2 pounds, is filled with amazing and interesting food, snacks, and drinks, and was truly one of the most interesting and incredible Rations I've ever had.
    Huge thanks to Stanley Productions for supplying this and two more upcoming reviews -- the T2 PJ (Freeze Dried 2 lb, 9oz) and the T2 SP (Canned 3 lb 8 oz) options.

    Bandrek! That's what i was trying to think of. I had it in Java. It's coffee colored but doesn't have coffee. It's palm sugar, ginger, anise, cloves, cinnamon, and lemongrass. Sometimes is has milk or coconut water too. I'll bet that's what the first drink was. It's usually drunk hot in Indonesia and is considered a "cool weather" drink, or as cool as it ever gets in the lowlands. It's all relative in Indonesia. We had one night where it got down to 65 and everyone was running around in jackets and shivering.

    If bamboo shoot has a potato like texture, it's NOT cooked right. There's no such thing as "slow-cooked soft bamboo shoot", it is supposed to be crunchy. I'm not from Indonesia but I'm pretty sure all Asians can agree on this one.

    - konserven-in-a-pouch = main course without rice

What's really spectacular about all of these soldier rations that you go through(and I think it would give you more content to cover) is the amount of thought involved by the teams of dieticians and food chemists.

They are after all, the core of the army,they are the ones we deploy,send overseas or currently in the fight against terorists. Kodam guys in the other hand are teritorial army they act much like reserves. mostly married and old men. The army didnt prioritize anything on them. They rarely carry arms and when they do its a cold war relic. They mainly work humanitarian or serve as extra hands for the police. some story said they pack their own meals from home instead of being issued rations during disaster relief op. so Its not a surprise that if the majority of them never even see these rations.

      For sure, you can find some really good Indonesian restaurants down here. The flavours are a lot more subtle than most Asian cuisines I've tried but well worth the effort to find a legit restaurant run by an Indo expat.
