Maggie noodle was a super luxury back then, machiam like eating Michelin food in camp. Ya I agree the dice pork goes well with Maggie. 

We ate the dice pork a few times in Tekong. Nobody told us cannot eat pork in Tekong, and they issued us pork before our topo/mission. Once we ate it very near the "famous location", without knowing pork is prohibited of course. 

where got  cannot eat pork in tekong?? i never heard of this,  but 不知者无罪 la

I heard this was a practice due to respect for spirits there. Not sure if this is urban myth or regulations there. Maybe others can shed light here?

After the dice pork was discontinued as combat ration, we were also told not to bring other type of pork (eg bak kwa, luncheon meat, etc) there for our exercise.

I do remember seeing our instructors skinning and cooking wild boar when we are having our survival and POW in Tekong. Those were regulars/lao jiao.

Atec... started only during my reservist time. my time called proficiency test... 😆

still got sardines or not? we banned sardines in the M113... the empty can left inside vehicle during 3-day ex... the smell can kill... ore lethal than enemy fire 🤣

I have not touched canned sardines since NS.   We used to joke that the enemy will detect us from a distance by the smell alone.

Diced pork in spices was the best. Especially when poured into boiling Maggie mee in mess tins on a cold night.

They are not that bad - gave us a small section of a snake. No idea what snake that was because the head has been chopped off. We cooked it in water with no seasoning cos we are in the middle of the survival training, but no matter how long we cooked that snake, it felt hard and rubbery. Can't remember the taste though (probably close to tasteless since we did not add any seasoning). Of course that wild boar, even a small piece, will be very nice indeed but we were happy with our snake since we can't blardy catch anything to eat in Tekong. The Tekong monster hums are inaccessible for us (instructors limited our range).

Once the sardines stain onto No 4, the smell will stay with you.
