- In this Chinese MRE Review (Type 09' Menu 1), we check out a moderately decent quality ration with some unusual components. And one of the most efficient FRH's (Flameless Ration Heater) ever made. Also a quick look at Menu 9 of this MRE. It turned green.
Up next for Chinese Rations will be a Chinese Air Force Ration from mrezone.com/

LET'S GET THIS OUT ONTO A TRAY, NICE™
NICE HISS™
I'LL BE COMING BACK AT YOU WITH SOMETHING NEW OR OLD, ALRIGHT COOL SEE YA™
2:48 Steve's pallet has become so refined he can smell specific vitamins
Tony Guzman
I heard him say he can smell vitamin c before now vitamin b lol kinda weird but whatever
lmfao
I can smell vitamins. I've never focused on each individual vitamin smell, but Iron always stands out as one the worse smelling in my opinion.
Its almost like some kind of super power.
Hey everyone, I hope you all had a nice Christmas with family, friends, and hopefully an MRE thrown in there at some point.
It's great to be back after visiting some family for the holidays and here are two new videos tonight.
This Chinese Type 09' and also a Canadian IMP.
Oldsmokey just did a review on a Chinese Special Operations Food Packet th-cam.com/video/Vl4Ycb-Xyb8/w-d-xo.html
Totally worth checking this one out while on the subject of Chinese Rations.
PLA has more types of rations currently in service than any other country.
I hope you make 500k subs before 2018, would really cap off the year.
Steve1989MREInfo Hey Steve, thanks for the new videos. Just in time. I really enjoy them.
However, you said/wrote something about merch a while ago... any news on that topic yet?
I love you steve. You put your body on the line for my entertainment. I love you.
Thats "nice"
Steve1989MREInfo do you actually speak like a bro or do you put it on a bit for the videos?
Your voice genuinely makes me happy when you say "alright" or "lets get this onto a tray." I'm not kidding.
Me too
Nice...
Same lol
Nice
I can confirm.
*WHY am I so into this I watched over 20 videos and I can't stop PLZ HELP*
I'm right there with you. I need to detox.
It's too late... You've been absorbed
No you!
Jk, I also need halp.
me too it's inexplicable
Resistance is futile
I can't believe I sit and watch some dude eat military rations lol. As a veteran, I do find it interesting to see how other countries approach their rations. It tickles me to see how much he enjoys eating them.
Same here
Cobi Mistwalker it makes my day when he says “nice! Mkay..”
i think that's all of us lol
Haha exactly. But I still strangely enjoy it. I miss MREs
Me also vet. Me also like see, oonga, rations
That lamentation on the meager peach ration alone made me subscribe.
😂
I eat 4 times when i duty at the PLA army. We often eats hot meal . It was like a studens i feel when i was a soldier. So someday suply MRE , it must is we outdoor to do trainng or repair Municipal (snow, flood) . We must happy for the meal , cause it was funny . someone like ,someone didn't. someone eat cupnoodls . I saw ones company cook cupnoodls using firebox, that's amingzing. that time just Menu A,B,C,D. But now Menu 1-12 . ( sorry for my English, i do my best)
Your English was good enough. You had to eat these MRE's while out on patrol, but some people didn't like them and ate instant noodles instead? Lol.
I can barely spell the word Chinese. Your English is more than sufficient for communication.
Damn
Someone didn't like the MRE so they ate cup noodle instead? That feels... backward.
But then again, I guess it's arguably more familiar for most people, I guess.
Is it good?
One of my earliest memories was eating those canned beef egg rolls as a child in 80s China! I remember them as being utterly delicious...basically like hot-dogs wrapped in an omelette (the canned version was much juicier) but I'm sure that memory's been distorted by nostalgia 😂 . The heated egg rolls were probably meant to be an accompaniment to the main meal, as plain rice tends to be too dull and Chinese people usually mix that with a saltier meat/egg/veg dish. Even boiled, salted peanuts work well as a side dish to rice, instead of eating it plain.
when my two favorite channels collide looooooooooooooooooool
I was just reading the comment then I saw the avatar. When two worlds collide!
Maqaroon what are you doing here?? My two favourites 😍😍😍
Maqaroon also eat dog meat 🥩 it’s really yammy 😋 when i was in China 🇨🇳 i eat sandwich 🥪 dog meat omg it’s really yammy I don’t joke you must try it bro 😍❤️
I once got stuck in China during the Chinese New Year and since all the shops were closed and the city seemed completely dead, I had to survive on canned food and rice cooked in a cheap rice cooker. Canned mushrooms and other stuff with spicy sauces were indeed unedible, but most of the canned fish was surprisingly good. And beans were also nice, I guess even the Chinese can't mess the canned beans up :D
What is this strange crack my husband has turned me onto?!
Just two days, and I'm 30 videos in, bought a shirt, and can't stop saying, "Nice!"
I've never equated MREs with enlightenment before, but darn it, I'm sold.
have you seen the one where he eats 120 year old beef
One of us... one of us....
ZanarkandAce gooble gobble
@@zanarkandace6821 The greater good...
I love the recycling symbol. I'm sure that's their first priority in combat lol
@section 8 I think he was being sarcastic
TBH I’m not sure being eco friendly is China’s first priority in general.
To be fair, certain bases/provinces/countries DO take recycling extremely seriously, even with regard to MRE’s. In my experience, during training at 29 Palms, we were required to literally separate our MRE’s by composition prior to discarding them, even to the point of having to activate our ration heater with water had we not used it.
@Yup
They also emit 30% of all greenhouse gasses worldwide. Granted the US has a higher contribution per person but that’s defiantly because of our penchant for automobiles. The solution to that seems far off sadly.
@Yup
I said being eco friendly wasn’t a priority of china’s in general. I thought I should compare China with the US so as to avoid being a hypocrite demonizing China when the US is also pretty bad with pollution.
My friend used to serve in PLA and he said nobody eats those flameless self-heating meals at all. Instead, they have dedicated food truck equipped with some really nice kitchen equipment and a dozen cooks for every company. He did spend most of his time deployed in the Southern borders so that could be one of the reasons.
So they only eat those only when they are in mission?and glad i heard that,well i am not china citizen but knowing a soldier eat that crap the worst mre between all mre around the world make me feel hurt
it is not that terriable to be honest, the food is quite decent and the price is fairly cheap, i ate a lot this shit during my days back in homeland in hiking.
most proper armed forces food trucks MREs are for combat missions.
Well, that’s because MRE’s are for while you’re in combat... behind enemy lines etc.
true, we have a type of soldier who just cook in army called 炊事班
it puts a smile on my face whenever he says:
alright cool,...see ya
nice hiss..
alright, let's get this out unto a tray, NICE..
My Burning Love it's always a perfect cut to the food being magically on the tray and sends it over the top
I enjoy that too, and the little tune of the spoon clinking on the glass makes me giggle every time
I just start laughing uncontrollably when I see these videos so...
That tone on the glass @3:30 is wonderful
Maxwell Flynn beethoven ft mozart damn epic sound was that
Maxwell Flynn magnificent
Maxwell Flynn Ringtone!
im not alone :'D
I'm so satisfied when he taps his spoon on his glass cups
I watched another MRE reviewer and I have come to really enjoy these reviews. Steve is very critical of each of the MRE he reviews. Lots of details really give the viewer a great idea on what he is experiencing. Love this
I'd love to see what a North Korean ration looks like
Nutz4Gunz45 round worm and rolling papers,dried parsley,fish hook.
It's just a bag with air in it since fat boy ate everything already.
Nutz4Gunz45 its official then, steve should review north korean MRE
probably a north Korean ration meal will look like kim jun un's cooking disaster
Lol what ration ?
The glassical music!
Oh yeah, at 3:30
And here I wonder if anyone notice XD
Has anyone noticed how he changes the speed of his spoon taps in every video haha awesome
3:44 opens the pound cake dumps out a nerf football
This is the 6th video of yours I have watched...I can't stop. Your stuff is strangely wonderful.
Of all the things to find in a Chinese PLA ration, Spam Wellington seems to be the weirdest.
Spam is actually super popular in Asia after American GIs brought it in WWII. And yknow, it was food in a time where there wasn’t a lot of food.
Hawaiian and Japanese food have spam sushis, and I know Chinese people like to eat it with rice.
That's going to be the new notification sound on my phone. 3:30
Niceee...
Mines gonna be "Nice"
This comment is golden xD
reminds me of the Telekom jingle xD
it's crazy. It should have one tone, not playing songs
Just what I needed to relax from this crazy day! Hope you had a great Christmas Holiday!!!
Hey Katie, that's the spirit! I had a lot of fun making this Type 09' review. My Christmas was awesome, thank you! Hope yours was too!
Your videos are super cool(history geek here). But I will admit, I mostly watch then for ASMR effect :D Keep the good work.
I just hope his videos never change my favorite oart is wheb he says "alright lets get this on to a tray, nice" lol and idk about anyone else here but i hope you had a Merry Christmas as well and have a Happy New Year
"Let's get this out onto a tray...nice"
Has to be my favourite part of nearly all your videos 😂😂
By 5 minutes, I was freakin' DYING from laughter. The peach rant was classic.
It was three sentences. Hardly a “rant”. 🤦🏻♂️
*unwraps the video* And right off the bat, we have some Steve1989MREInfo, Instant Type II. Nice.
Sean McNamara hmm nice hiss
Not bad!
NICE!
let’s get this out on a tray
Very pleasant light undertones
No matter how absolute shit my day was, the little editing trick he does with the drink stirring puts a smile on my face every time.
Steve, you are a blessing
I love the “Nice!” transitions
3:30 Another ringtone material. Steve your glass is magical.
3:29
So satisfying when he hit the spoon against the glass.
Steve is the Bob Ross of eating questionable food.
Frederick Swan YES!
Nailed it!
If Steve was ever in a bad mood, my shoulders would sag, and I’d have to steady myself on a counter as sadness washed over me
Gosh! That is so amazing and original! No one ever says that about Steve, and no one says it in every one of his videos’ comments section. How did you come up with that? It’s so great, please do tell. You are one clever, clever girl to come up with that all by yourself!
@vincedibona4687 I mean, I said this like 4 years ago, after not reading miles of comments to see if there was an established pattern of commentary.
"I'm not sure how well this will pair...." **pours whole packet all over rice**
😂
The three pieces of peaches made me sad too
Imagine you fighting the entire day it was hard and tough almost got shot and you only get 3 pieces.....I donno Id kill ma self lol
Trade the cake for more peaches?
Dorothy oh dorofee I'll send you some peaches
I mean, it will keep the soldiers "thin," right?
That's a positive...!
+MrFuggleGuggle
No, that's incredibly bad. If you're out in the field you want your food to provide as much caloric intake as possible. It's why special ops purposely shock your metabolism to a crawl. You want a soldier that only needs to eat once a day and feel fine, as opposed to a soldier that gets hungry every 5-6 hours, and can't function. Maybe in garrison life it's fine. But I doubt they'd be eating this stuff outside the field.
Wow 3 pieces of peach ..... morale shattering
Benjamin C hahahahahahaha
Consider the context. That's probably more peach at one meal than a typical civilian in China gets an entire month.
@@johnroscoe2406 There are still people starving in China, but in general, fruits like peaches are affordable for ordinary civilians. In most cases.
@@johnroscoe2406 yep，people eat apples instead
@@johnroscoe2406 Chinese citizens aren't dirt poor on average.
3:50 "that's awesome"
the stark contrast between what he says & what I'd say is what makes this one of the most interesting MRE channels
It's only now coming back to this channel that I realize I enjoy it because it's almost like an ASMR video but without any potential creepiness. With all the quirky rituals and vocabulary choices and speed up moments and volume lowers it creates a really relaxing and comforting familiarity. I'd even say it's kind of intimate since he's eating.
Wow, that is some budget meal. But it is to be expected with such a large army. Yet it does not reflect th complex and diversity of Chinese cuisine...
To be fair, we are looking at exactly one menu out of whatever number of menus they had.
Im surprised China feeds the soldiers at all.
@@kiddhkane china is really more advanced than you think
@@bigsmall246 He's trying to make a crappy joke about the large population of China and that there won't be enough food to go around to feed all the military personnel. 🤷🏻♂️
@@bigsmall246 This is true. I think the soldiers are mostly fed from what chefs cook on the spot and not MREs.
Most of their MREs still seem kinda bad though.
2 new videos popped out like a boss. Nice.
I had a ton of fun with both of them - but especially this Type 09' - it was one I was looking forward to trying for about 2 years now. And in the two I had I certainly got a real varied experience.
NICE!
yea bet it wasnt easy to get your hands on this one!
Alright! Let’s get this out onto a tray!
Double upload!!! Steve HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
Hey Joshua! Great to see ya man, Happy New Year!
He replied! He replied!!! My man!!!!!!!
Well, this is awkward...
My name is Joshua too!
"This is very dry and thirst provoking." HAHAHA!
Hahahahahahahahahahahah LOL
That sounds funny hahaha
Maybe the egg rolls would be nicer heated up also.
I love Steve's videos
when you work at a dead end job its really nice to come home and watch some who is genuine like Steve.
He just comes across as a guy you would share a beer with. I had a money i would definitely donate to your patreon. Thank you Steve for all the good times and vibes you send through your vids, they keep the negative stuff at bay
lol that heating element was working a little too well
I've been watching your videos pretty much non-stop for about a week just to hear you stir drinks in glass.
"lets get this out onto a tray"
love your channel dude
Nice!
The pitch shifted glass caught me off guard. You made my day.
“Look at how shiny it is”
*proceeds to smack it
Let's get this on a tray. NICE! We missed you Steve. Happy holidays to you!
Hey Noah! I missed not having new videos out for you guys, great to be back! Happy Holidays to you too!
sad little peaches. That just made my day.
I’ve been on hiatus from watching Steve, but I’m back now and pleased to see nothing has changed. Keep up the great work buddy. Watching from Western Australia
I literally don't know why I'm watching these, I'm just mesmerized.
The pound cake looks like a giant cherry chew lol.
lmao every time with the musical cup. 🎶 🎶
Lightly salty, and sweet, some what complex. I feel like adjectives are your super power. Nice work
The most satisfying thing is watching you finish the whole MRE a lot of other videos even ones that aren’t MREs but are taste tests people just eat a bite then throw it out (presumably) but you show the clean tray.
Big fan of your channel Steve! I often find myself saying "nice" just the way you do, and I always smile when I do.
Thanks for becoming a part of my life.
Love that musical masterpiece with the spoon.
Let's get that radioactive red pound cake and spamrolls onto a tray.....(insert sarcasm in comments)
ARPLATINUM and it smelled like a lead
"Nice, has a decadent flavour"
you mean a Desiccant flavor?
Nice mkay
Let's get that melted red crayons pound cake onto a tray, nice
I had a friend in the army he told me mre' s made him constipated. What are your experiences with eating these. Like heart burn, constipation, upset stomach, or diarrhea. This is my second video of your thanks cool stuff man.
Woody Shrop your friend are in chinese army?
flapjack889 maybe he was kinda strange. Lol
Woody Shrop "upset stomach Diarrhea"
Sounds like pepto bizmo
Woody Shrop I have never had a problem with them, nor has anybody I've known. Seems like a person to person basis.
the way you say "nice" when you cut to the tray cracks me up every time. I don't know if you're even trying to be funny, but it's great :)
These are actually the best mre reviews on the internet
This year was nice because l discovered Steve's channel :D
Nice!
Hope you’ve had a good Christmas Steve and I’m wishing you all the best for the new year! Looking forward to what MRE’s you have in store for us in 2018!
If Steve ever opens a ration restaurant, I'm going! I want to hear him go down the menu, and then say, "Alright, lets get this out on a tray"
Well I don't think Steve's ever going to open a restaurant, but hey, I just recently opened a bar in Kansas! If you live there you can always come and stop by. Contact me for location if you're interested.
Not sure how I got to this channel, nor am I sure why I'm so fascinated by this stuff
目前最新的服役是Type 13，里面的配菜和主食是包在一起，不再分开，但增加更多的米饭和更多的面条，我来自大陆，很喜欢你的频道
Hey Steve, re the green noodles: the last time I ordered something that looked like that, it was because a caterpillar was in the beef and broccoli. The green guts had leeched into the meat.
Steve, I’d like to see you review a fine dining tasting menu. Would you enjoy that, or do you prefer covering military rations? You describe textures and tastes in great detail, thanks.
Yeah that pound cake. Nah. It looked like it was still in a wrapper. Maybe it was a waxy case you were supposed to somehow peel off? Kinda like the babybel cheese. I was confused at those cheeses when I was younger and ate the wax coating along with the cheese. Ok I'm getting carried away thanks for the upload Steve.
nope! asian poundcake always has that waxy (maybe not that waxy) cover on it esp japanese poundcakes! they're very cool
I get the weirdest vids on my que, but this is oddly satisfying to watch. Like Bob Ross!
I like the way the glass makes music when you stir it lol
Fake. Proper chinese ration should contain a PUBG steam code.
Golden Eagle hella popular in China though
草，你把👴整笑了
And Corona virus
@@laffey.chan_ not funny didn’t laugh
OOOOOO BUDDY STARTIN THE NIGHT RIGHT
You got that right Martin! I'm kicking back here with a cup of 1992 MRE cocoa and a Mars bar that is heavily bloomed. Living it up!
Nice. (had too)
"lets get this out on a tray... nice... mkay"
Sounds like mr mccackey from southpark mgay
honestly steve i cannot even closely put to words how satisfying your reviews are. i dont know exactly what it is, but something about your voice and pure, honest and joyful reactions really calm me to the bone. ive been watching your videos before going to bed for a while now and no series could compare. a good laugh, calming and interesting. thanks steve, nice.
1:50 such casual enthusiasm i love it so calming
Hey Steve, thanks for the gift of two videos! Did you get any "nice!" gifts this year?
Hey Jack, you're welcome! And I got some nice gifts indeed. The best one was getting to visit family and spend time together for the holidays.
A double upload! I hope you're doing well Steve. And I hope you're had a good Christmas.
Hope you like em, Ray! And all is great, thank you. My Christmas was nice and laid back with family. Hope your Christmas was good too!
Steve1989MREInfo I certainly did. I'm glad you had a good Christmas. Mine was nice and relaxed thanks!
Good lord it would be depressing to be out in the field fighting a war and pop this open for dinner.
selanfene This is luxury food in China.
Albert Giesbrecht no it isn't, I literally live in China.
selanfene I apologize for my snarky comment.
What, you wouldn't be happy to see 3 1/4 slices of peach?
motivation to fight harder do you can go home to better food.
I'm impressed that you can read Chinese.
Man, these videos are addictive. Good job!
Easily the best part of Christmas
Hey right on Rob. Hope you have an awesome New Year!
I can imagine him eating a real meal with his family or something.
“Okay let me just get this spaghetti onto a tray”
*puts spaghetti on a plate
“Nice”
Wow learned something about China tonight. Good stuff Steve
Yeah, they do not care on what their soldiers eat. That pound cake looked like if you dropped it on the floor it would bounce back at you.
even the sticky rice had no filling in it just red bean... kinda sad
Dude instant sub, you got this Bob Ross way of explaining the meals. I'm hooked
Gosh! That is so amazing and original! No one ever says that about Steve, and no one says it in every one of his videos’ comments section. How did you come up with that? It’s so great, please do tell. You are one clever, clever girl to come up with that all by yourself!
I lost it when you just tapped on the pound cake with your finger lol.
Better then the last Chinese MRE he did.
Yeah, woa, that thing was literally STEAMING.
I like how he says nice after he sets up his tray.
This has to be the saddest looking MRE I've seen so far. It's like the stepmom that doesn't really like you took you to the 50 cent store and grabbed a few things off the shelf without looking. Here's dinner, kiddo.
Just typing that out made me so depressed I lost my appetite.
i feel your pain. she can't hurt us any more
now I’m sad to *gives you both a hug*
that is sad
Scutshakes luckily from what I heard they actually have food trucks so they make the food on the front, so I suppose it could be like the mother that loves you spending a whole afternoon cooking for you, but than again I haven’t seen them in action or ate them so idk
Just found these videos, and my god are they addicting. Super positive guy, love the comentary!
I love how when he hits the cup it makes the little melody lol
He tries to be fair, no matter what he’s eating - from any culture. It’s a great attribute!
I like that you do eat everything
He has the iron stomach
4:32 me everyday after I get out of the shower....
I've just found this channel, and your videos are.. Weirdly mesmerising. And make me hungry.
i cant believe im watching a guy eating mre's on the internet. but it so good, so relaxing. and im hungry
The only thing that looked good about that MRE was the main course the rest looked heavily processed, I'm only liking it because Steve is the man
Personally this ration reminds me of the UN 2000 ration, too much Is dedicated to the main resulting in the other components being tiny.
Love your soundtracks! Remind me of Jan Hammer, incidental music for Miami Vice😃
Thanks Enzo! Jan Hammer's work on Miami Vice was impeccable. He really did capture an essence with each track - especially Crockett's theme and the main theme for the show.
Is it me or does he actually make a new tune on every glass he makes fucking amazing
My favorite part of every video is when he says “nice, mkay”
