That was decent looking PRC ration and a fun review to watch. Looks like they are using their quality nicely, just not a lot of meat as usual. I must know if you were hungry an hour later? 😆 Very entertaining review Jerms! Just like you I’m a huge fan of Chinese food. Of course working in a family owned Cantonese restaurant for three years helps!
Hey Allan! This one was great! It definitely could have used more pork but it was still great. And no, I was still stuffed and hour later 😆 Thanks for the comment and thanks for always being here. I appreciate it 👍👍
Noodles and pork looks amazing 😋 I have a question. What happens if soldiers have allergies or vegetarian . They can choose their MRE? I’m Guessing they have to? When they say menu 8 or whatever, is that what they can choose?
I'm really not sure if the PLA offers other meal options like the US and other Western countries do. US soldiers have options (vegetarian, halal, kosher, etc). As Danny mentioned, there's also lots of trading going on probably too. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!!
Holy wow! That looks like one of the better Chinese rations I've seen reviewed.... it makes you wonder if they intended to make this a two meal ration.....
It was a lot of food! But the calorie count for the ration was around 1200 I believe, which was surprising. Thanks as always for being here! I appreciate it 👍👍
I didn't even know MRE reviews was a thing!..I been making by scratch my own MRE's for 5 years now for camping trips Dried fish And rice soups, Powered milk with dry fruit And oats etc ..Plastic fork spoon Have not done any real meats in the dehydrator yet Thanks for the videos..so many ideas
That's awesome! I have a freeze dryer and love making my own "Mountain House" meals. Check out my Homemade Chili-Mac video I did about a year ago 👍 Thank you for watching!
Jerms my buddy! I believe you've got a type 20 Chinese PLA ration there! Those are the newest version! They just came out about a year ago. The dark brown bag and the lack of a menu number gave it away. As well as the FRH being separated and vacuum sealed. The food is supposed to be way better. They started separating and vacuum sealing the FRH heating elements in the new type 20s because it makes them last way longer. The old style that included them inside the ration sleeve would expose them to moisture in the outside air which would cause them to degrade too quickly. Actually, they started separating all the food components. This made them taste better and last longer than having all the food together in one pouch. Also, those fiber tablets I believe are supposed to be dissolved in water to make a fiber drink. Very strange there are no drinks included. I would definitely research more on exactly what you've got there. The Chinese menu's are kinda like US MREs in that they change all the time. You can have two identical menus from the same year that have different components. Still really cool to see you eat one of those things!
Hey CB!! I had a really hard time determining exactly what type it was. It was sold as a Type 17. I found a blog from Japan I had to translate to English. The blogger talks about the Type 17, pictures are the exact ration I had. He links the website where he got them and there they are. Except nowhere does it say what type they are 🤦 The other thing that leads me to believe it's a 17 is Steve1989's latest review. He did a Type 20 from 2023 and the bag is different and it seemed to have more food in it than mine. I'll keep researching though. Whatever Type it was, it was great!! Thanks for the comment as always CB!! I appreciate you my friend!!
Thank you! That seafood rice was good but if you don't like seafood, definitely not for you. In fact, you wouldn't even want to open it simply for the smell 🤣 Thanks for watching!!
I hope it’s good I wanted to try one of these back when I was able to get stuff and customs 🛃 didn’t mess with it I was focusing on French, Russian, Latvian and Lithuanian stuff and never got around to getting any of these
CHOP CHOP SUEY. IF NOT, DEFINITELY RICE. FORTUNE COOKIE LOTTERY NUMBERS. FISH. HEAD SOUP. yummy yummy in my tummy. Oh wait you’re eating it I don’t get nothing. I’m hungry.
I'm chinese. Looks like alot of carbs, but not a lot of meat. This is typical of cheap chinese food in China. It's easy to add a lot of flavor using various spices and oils, but the difference between between the different level is about the quantity and quality of the meat. It's true that carbs and protein provide the same amount of energy, but a carb rich diet will provide a more rapid burst of blood sugar and energy, but leave you hungry and low energy later. This is why a carb rich diet would more likely cause diabetes, meanwhile we suggest diabetic patients eat low carb high protein meals.
Welcome to the channel! This was a LOT of carbs for sure! I did notice there was not a lot of meat. But for a military ration, I was very happy with it. Thanks for the comment and for watching!! 👍👍

You can exchange with your mates. Everybody got their dislike and likes so just exchange.

Great review! Looked real good minus the seafood rice, lol.
Thank you! That seafood rice was good but if you don't like seafood, definitely not for you. In fact, you wouldn't even want to open it simply for the smell 🤣 Thanks for watching!!
Wait What no chop sticks ..Thanks Jerms that one looked good !!!
I was thinking the same thing! Thanks Rusty!!
Makes me want Chinese so bad I live in a very backwoods rural area and the closest Chinese is about an hour away 😭😭 but great review 🫡

Great review, I will say you are brave 😂😂 I don’t know if I would trust a Chinese ration 😂😂
Thanks for watching Belinda! I appreciate it 👍👍👍
😮
Chinese rations ten years ago were borderline inedible. Now they are fantastic.
I was very happy with this one! Actually can't wait to finally another one! Thanks for watching Karl!
I saved the foambags from the types 9 and 13 Chinese rationz I re iewed zeveral years ago
That's a great idea! Thanks for watching Kaylynn!!
Sorry I left early the Jerm killer kicked in and I had to give the woman the business 🤣🤣🤣
based
OMG 😆
@@jermsMRE 🤣🤣🤣
Is it true that the problem with Chinese MRE's is that an hour later you're hungry again?
Not really. Back when I was in high school, I always ate Chinese ration for lunch, that can hold up for one day.
That was not the case with me. I was FULL. Very tasty ration. Thanks for watching!

those tablet should be mixed with water to make a drink
🤦 Why didn't I think of that?? I bet that would have been good. Thanks for watching!! I appreciate it 👍👍
Honestly surprised it's a spork and not chopsticks.
You would think. I was happy it was a spork though 😆 And actually a very sturdy spork! Thanks for watching!!
What you thought was a toothpick was a dehydrated compressed chopstick you should’ve had two of them😵💫🤣
🤣🤣 Thanks Randy! Always a laugh with your comments 🤣🤣
It didn’t explode, fail. 😆
😆😆 I want my money back 😆😆 Thanks for watching Danny. I appreciate it 👍👍
man must be hard coming up with your own style of content so instead just copy the 100s of others that do rations, huh?
🤣🤣 Thanks for the view
Rumor has it he's still on the toilet.
HAHA!! Surprisingly I did not experience that issue LOL Thanks for watching!
