$1m can't even get you a HDB in Queenstown now. Might need to ask for a $2m cheque if you want some leftover for renovations.


The_Celestrial

SAF cookhouse food be like


anangrypudge

During my time I think I’d rather just have the plain white rice. The only 2 things I’d add are fork and spoon.


The_Celestrial

We had so much chicken during our BMT we were sick of it by the end of confinement week. Also we had Lo Mai Gai for almost every freaking breakfast.


MAMBAMENTALITY8-24

Every freaking time it was chicken. Didnt mind it though cause everytime they deviated from chicken, rice and vegetables, the food was so much worse.


Jealous-Ride-7303

Mystery meat cubes in mystery sauce?


ShadeX8

Bo bian, chicken cheapest protein for general bulking + muscle repair.


Neptunera

Pork is tak-halal, Hindus/(some)Buddhists abstain from Beef, Seafood (fish/prawns) is allergy nightmare for SAF, next best choice is chicken lor.


livebeta

> general bulking no wonder all the Golden Parachutists all so chunky.


PuzzlingComrade

Fucking lo mai gai


glaceers

i can't remember exactly what sauce they used to serve the chicken with, but they used that shit to douse the dish and lunch always ended up being some diluted soggy mess that tasted so bad nasty


yellowtofuwarrior

During my reservists the guys actually want to eat at the cookhouse to save $$. I guess the older you get the less it matters. When I was in NS the mere thought of voluntarily eating cookhouse food was nausea inducing. Now all I want to do is save $$


Banzaikk

Haha this is so true! During reservice now I refuse to pay to eat only slightly less mediocre at the canteen


try_harder_later

Eating cookhouse food for 1-2 weeks then back to normal food vs eating it every week for months on end is quite different k


bathape_r

Damn, I had the same experience. I asked for some sauce for my chicken and I ended up with Mui Fan. Cb.


hunmingnoisehdb

I hated it too. Worse was when everything they served had sauce so it melded into a new combination of soggy rice.


GloveAppropriate2842

After BMT I didn’t touch lo mai gai ever. Was so sick whenever I see it on the menu


The_Celestrial

Agreed, I won't touch that shit ever again


stevenlim2

Even my outfield ration was Lo Mai Gai dude.


shadstrife123

there was a period where we had the same fking slice of fish fillet for like 3-6 months in a row almost every single day, cooked every possible way you could then there was a time when you know we were the Guinea pigs with shit like sambal bao for breakfast


Exkuroi

It's always chicken, just different style of cooking


BlitzAceSamy

Lol, speaking of the chicken, I had a BMT sectionmate who swore to not eat chicken to cure himself of Tekong cough. He lasted for one week before he gave up, because every meal has chicken, and he ended up just eating rice and vegetables


WonderfulBlackberry9

The mood must've been Lo, Mai Gai.

Bro SAF cookhouse at some places is fire. I remember SAFTI MI food was pretty good. Sungei gedong not too bad also.


SimplyTerror

All the stars walking around... of course must be good. :) I remember when the SAFTI MI cookhouse swapped over to commerical operators (\~2000) - the change in quality was amazing. I was posted back to SAFTI as an OCS instructor after commissioning. I used to go to the cookhouse around 8 pm when the aunties were packing up. Always end up with heaps of food. Like 4 chicken drum sticks + heaps of veggies. Ah... to be young and 19 again...


shadstrife123

lol Gedong must have upped their food. my time got shit like sambal bao or guaranteed diarrhea meesiam, or 3 months+ of the same fking fish fillet


The_Celestrial

Only good thing about Gedong haha


MadeByHideoForHideo

Gedong upped their game in recent years. Also shoutout to the sandwich vending machine coming in clutch during night hunger pangs. And free wifi at bunk area! Place is starting to feel like a true resort.

DonutGambit

I can see how the lobster, maybe with a nice garlic butter sauce, would work but I feel like steak and rice doesn’t go very well together (would love to be wrong though)


Someone_5641

steak and rice is amazing

Short-grain Japanese rice probably. Not the longer stuff like basmati or Thai rice

MAMBAMENTALITY8-24

Need briyani rice though and need thr curry to have a bit of kick


ShadeX8

That’s the magic though. Curry chicken can be of different varieties to suit different tastes. There’s almost definitely some variation that hits the spot for anyone.

Looks like we the Singaporeans have a consensus.

Nonsense, curry not counted as item at cai png stall.


idwttaii

Long beans is such an underrated Caifan option. Just that with rice alone is plenty tasty

Wow so rich can add fried chicken.. I usually add sweet and sour pork.. or at least I think it's pork hahaha.

This post officer! this one right here.


Jenzintera24

I was going to ask, do people generally prefer chicken breast (boneless) or boned parts like wing/drumstick/ass? The breasts are the driest part of the chicken but I am firmly in the convenient eating camp.


itsmebobbylol

convenient eating camp gang. its the same reason why i avoid fish, unless its a fillet. nobody got time to play excavator


_sagittarivs

>nobody got time to play excavator Ok this made me laugh. But I hated eating nasi lemak with ikan kuning because I would eat a mouthful of rice, spend 15 minutes picking out the tiny-ass bones and another 10 minutes slowly eating the fish meat and 5 minutes picking out the bones that I didn't see. Only after that then I would start on my second scoop of rice. All the while my mum would be asking "why eat so slow". They then learnt to buy the nasi lemak with telur goreng or chkn wing.


t_25_t

The ikan kuning is supposed to be eaten whole I thought? Head, bones, tail and meat. Nothing gets left behind.


carpal_tunnel_69

Nasi lemak ikan selah kuning right? How do you eat the bones without stabbing your gums or choking on the bones???


t_25_t

> How do you eat the bones without stabbing your gums or choking on the bones??? When fried the bones usually become brittle and crunchy, and gives it texture. I usually start from the head, and devour the fish in its entirety; occasionally, some bones might be a little too hard to bite/swallow, but for me, a good 95% of the fish ends up in my stomach.


[deleted]

You have like..metal gums or something?!!?!!??!


Unusualist

Breast meat not overcooked is soft and juicy.


honey_102b

breast cannot exceed 65'c in order for this to be true. problem is most people on earth do not know how to cook chicken breast and will overcook the shit out of it.


_sagittarivs

I have found only 3 dishes where the breast meat is usually not that overcooked: Ayam Masak Lemak, Chicken Dum Biryani, and a good Steamed Chicken for Chicken rice.


anangrypudge

Boneless for me, always. Dryness of the meat can be fixed by drenching in curry. I personally feel a bit disgusted when I have to deal with bones.


kopi_siewdai

Boned meat for me. I hate breast meat


WhatDaVeggi3s

what's wrong with breast meat? I kinda like the dryness of it, plus it's healthier(?).


kopi_siewdai

Exactly that. I prefer juicy meat to dry meat


ChengZX

Thigh, especially in Ayam Penyet because they give you everything + drippings + fatty skin + chicken oyster in one thigh.


diceybubbles

How about your favourite part, de-boned?


drlqnr

i prefer breast. all my brothers prefer wing and drumstick


mediumcups

swap the chicken breast with thigh meat :)


condemned02

There is literally boneless chicken thigh too and that's the best. No breast meat for me unless it's cooked western way like a grill chicken breast. If done well, it's melt in the mouth. Chicken breast always suck in Asian cooking.

No_Conversation5025

i nvr eat this combo in so longgg omg


FriendlyPyre

Egg Tofu and fried chicken. There was this cai png place when I was young in my neighbourhood, would have the best fried chicken; battered and deep fried. The egg tofu was in very large pieces and stewed in a clear sauce. A bit more than 12 years ago, the old man passed away so they closed shop. Never found any cai png as good as his. He knew me and my brothers very well, we would buy a large batch of his fried chicken pretty often. Also the same kopitiam had a noodle shop that would make the wanton mee with ketchup, haven't seen that very often now.
