MRE review of Chinese PLA Type 13 Menu 3 Chicken Curry in the woodlands of Sussex. 2:00 minutes for the review. My Channel: / @kentsurvival "Music by Bensound.com"
Nice review - that did look like a big meal - ideal for my appetite hehehe! The heater was amazing - bubbling away instantly. I’m gonna have to see if I can pick some Chinese rations up. Atb buddy, Simon.
Hiya mate, yes.. the best ration heater I've used yet by far, I liked this menu as it had both rice and noodles, most of them are dbl rice. Cheers for watching! :)
Awesome review Sir Andy! Ive been following your channel for about a year now. Just Going through all the older videos. 🍻Cheers from Across the Pond, California 🇺🇸
Hey, Thank you soo much, thats quite the compliment, Steves vids are great, hes very well informed. Ill do my best and hope you enjoy, teaser.. I think Poland is next ;)
I just got one of these and had my expectations very low. That being said, it actually is a pretty decent meal. Food is, dare I say, not bad and actually pushes towards the "good" side of the scale. I added some soy sauce and sriracha which helps these chinese MREs like tabasco sauce helps the U.S. MREs haha.
I believe it’s one dinner one supper had one of them when I served absolutely delicious. Watching this brought bake great memories 😊 nice one Andy 👌🏻 keep it up mate
Type 13 MRE was developed to contain 2 main courses because PLA front line troop involved in some of the recent major Chinese earthquake rescue missions complained that the MREs handed out was not really fulfilling after a full day of intense manual labor. So the decision was to put emphasis on providing more fulfilling food rather than serving a variety of tastes.
The rice portion looked like it was set in a sort of gelatin. Overall, an agreeable menu. Good curry spices are expensive; perhaps that is why the flavor was subtle.
cheers James.. I was quite impressed with this one.. pretty filling meal(s) ill get another one at some point.. if I remember this was the best as the others all had 2 rice meals, the noodles were a bit of variety
Definitely, they are designed so that soldiers need less finessing with the food packets and can eat quickly. The last earthquake rescue mission in Wenchuan China had front line troop working 48+hours with no time to eat. So MREs are now designed to eat quickly and have large portions of main entree. Also ease of use is very important to first responders who do not have clean water to wash muddy hands.
You could possible use 1 frh for both meals, eat as much you can, then secure the top with sg. Use the second one to reheat both. Or boil/warm water and put the bags in there to warm them up again. How much calorie was in each? I could'n eat both for sure.
I'm intrigued by the heating system....you just add water and it boils? Like making "fire" with water?...The meal looks alright: it seems like the kind of food you have on Chinese domestic flights or the high-speed trains (the latter generally a bit tastier). Thank you for posting this.
So that’s why my dogs were going nuts in the woods! ;) I have to try one of those Chinese packs. Where did you find it? I wasn’t impressed with the MRE pack. The Uk pack No.19 that I received this morning is okay, except for too many sugary drinks. All good fun :)
Chopsticks are meant for transfering food from a bowl or a plate (basically containers with a wide opening) to your mouth But the MRE is designed to be eaten in the wild, where you don't have a tray like in this video So chopsticks won't be that handy if you want to eat from the original plastic bag (very tight opening) of the MRE
no, so far, so good. I assume making sure troops are in top health would be a top priority so they are very well packed.... that said, I have a 30 yr old dehydrated ration that im going to try soon :/ haha
Kent Survival well I would tend to agree, however, see our musli comment from before! Lol. Also, you should do the 30 year ration for a 10,000 sub special! Love your work man!
It`s probably related to the lack of the usual stuff that`s in the accessory pack that most american and european MREs have. Some dessert option would have been nice but this looks pretty straight forward in terms of getting your belly filled so it`s really not that bad.

I just bought a few MREs to try. I was inspired from watching you try all these!!!
becoming one of my favorite reviewers. I'm just beginning my reviews, making mine on long atv rides. :)
Thank you, It means a lot to get comments like this :) Ill check out your vids too. ATB

Very very happy with the presentation of your videos Brother.
Came over from Steve1989MREInfo & man it was a good decision.

Cool stuff! I love the Chinese PLAs :)
It was pretty filling.. I'm sure it must be 2 meals? Them FRHs damn. Thanks for watching
hey bro you prob know this already but steve hates these type 13's, wondering if the US got a crap batch?

Very interesting, thanks Bart ;) this was one of my favourites so far

Very intrigued with those ration heater packs, might do some Internet digging to find out how they work.
Great review! I like the Chinese rations.The FRH works great.
Thank you :) It is an amazing FRH for sure.. maybe even over kill haha, will have to try one in cold weather some day
That looks good enough to have for an Xmas meal and certainly makes a change from Turkey and Stuffing!
Looks lovely this one!
P.S I know this is old but im having a Kent Survival marathon! What better way to spend a sunday? :)
Thanks very much :D
another great vid, thancks for this nice content, i you continue with this quality, your channel will be more known.
Thank you :)
i dont even ended the video, i am now watching:)
They are built for speed. Ready packed with double heating elements. Food quickly heated and ate.
indeed, still my fav FRH, need to get more at some point. cheers for watching

absolutely fantasico .... still looking for the best MRE

Oh my god! I hope you collected those muchrooms on the fallen beechtree!! ❤❤
Let’s get this out onto a tray.. mkay.. nice
Where do you get all these different mre’s please. I’m finding them not only informative but they’re making me hungry.
I'm intrigued by the heating system....you just add water and it boils? Like making "fire" with water?...The meal looks alright: it seems like the kind of food you have on Chinese domestic flights or the high-speed trains (the latter generally a bit tastier). Thank you for posting this.
Frederico Penteado I think there’s some kind of chemicals in the FRH heating element that reacts with the water in an exothermic reaction
So that’s why my dogs were going nuts in the woods! ;) I have to try one of those Chinese packs. Where did you find it? I wasn’t impressed with the MRE pack. The Uk pack No.19 that I received this morning is okay, except for too many sugary drinks. All good fun :)
Was a great ration. Wow those heaters really work. Everyone I have seen review these say they are bland and need bit spice to em.
I really enjoyed it, no harm in some hot sauce though i guess :) thanks for watching
That looks weirdly good
sure was :), thanks for watching
Watched loads of your mre videos
Where the hell do you get them from.
I can’t find any that are realistically priced 👍🏻
Daft question... Where you in the forces?
One at a time yeah. One meal at a time sweet...
Where can you buy these foods
Where do I buy these ??
you were making me hungry. great video
Thanks Kelly.. this was a great meal.. tons of food
good review keep them coming
Thank you :) and I will
One would have thought that a chinese MRE would have chopsticks
Good Point
Chopsticks are meant for transfering food from a bowl or a plate (basically containers with a wide opening) to your mouth
But the MRE is designed to be eaten in the wild, where you don't have a tray like in this video
So chopsticks won't be that handy if you want to eat from the original plastic bag (very tight opening) of the MRE
Good insight! Thanks for adding to the conversation!
No need, just pick up two sticks from the ground.
The you ever had any stomach issues or diareah after one of your MRE reviews?
no, so far, so good. I assume making sure troops are in top health would be a top priority so they are very well packed.... that said, I have a 30 yr old dehydrated ration that im going to try soon :/ haha
Kent Survival well I would tend to agree, however, see our musli comment from before! Lol. Also, you should do the 30 year ration for a 10,000 sub special! Love your work man!
Erm I'm suspecting these PLA rations are going to be a tad hard to come by!!!
You just ate fowl pork 14:40 pauze and you will see its green
thats called a vegetable haha
@@KentSurvival Did you got sick after eating that ration?
I wouldn't be surprised if that drink was star fruit flavored since that is a Chinese fruit
thats a good point, could well be. It was so subtle and i just couldn't place it, ill do another one day and use less water. Thanks for watching.
Nice
Irritating background music 😬
it used to one ration with 2 cans (500g) is one meal
Thank you for the info Yunhe Yan. Its a lot of of food :) but very nice
Kent Survival the soldiers need more then the folks bytheway the cans is much more delicious then rations
indeed. Thanks, maybe I will find the can one day :)
Kent Survivalyour wellcome ye the can is much more better
Be careful and check the noodles ,I watched steve get a rotten one ,and got sick off of another he said
Conclusion: Chinese MREs, bring your own hot sauce!
You might want a bottle of laoganma
That is alot of food, gotta day it didnt look good tho. Somethings taste better then they look i guess. Great video brother
👍🏻 ☺ 👍🏻
please stop the annoying bloody music
I have, this is an old review
You looked better with hair.
Need some soy sauce or duck sause
try indonesia food
hopefully one day ill find one :)
Did not look to appetizing but still good video
Brill video s mate x
C'est pas mon préféré
I actually really liked this one.. lots of food :)
Tu as des raisons d'aimer car tu y as goûté. C'est certainement bon, mais pas très beau à regarder.J'aime beaucoup la nourriture asiatique.
🥢🥢🥢
Tastes like oppression
That's the american one
One of the worst MRES ive seen.
Do you not like chinese food? It was quite nice if you try one and the FRH was amazing. Thanks for watching
It`s probably related to the lack of the usual stuff that`s in the accessory pack that most american and european MREs have. Some dessert option would have been nice but this looks pretty straight forward in terms of getting your belly filled so it`s really not that bad.
indeed, i agree, the food is good and plentiful but no frills. thanks for watching
