1000 nt for 2 individual rations?
Yeaā¦ Not exactly cheap. I saw someone found a taiwanese mre out in the wild and they were in pork chop with mushroom sauce, but these things seems to be for internal use only.
I know the us army has been known to give out mre to local population as relief efforts
I wonder if you can buy Taiwan Army MRE for cheap.
Hoarding food is not self sufficiency.

No, itās not. Itās emergency prep (at least one way of doing it).
Self-sufficiency is something else unrelated to emergencies. Thread title is wrong.

Yea except if you got huge stores of food others will just take it from you. Youāll need guns and stuff to keep that from happening. Good luck doing that in Taiwan.
I donāt horde food, but if I did (for emergencies), Iād imagine Iād share it with my neighbors so they wouldnāt have to rob me.
But anyways instant noodle seems to be the go to emergency food in Taiwan, and often the first thing to go out of stock when an emergency happens.
MRE is good in that they have chemical heat packs to allow you to enjoy hot food without any cooking equipment in the field.

Ah yeah thatās true! They last forever, and you can eat that cold because itās already been pre-fried.
When I was a kid I used to pour the seasoning into the bag, crush up the noodles, shake the bag to mix the seasoning into the crushed noodles, and then just eat the noodles straight. Tasted pretty good!
Yea you could just mix the packet into it and eat it like a snack. You ever try cooking instant noodles with lukewarm water?
I have. Wouldnāt want to do that again though! 
Can drink the drinks, soup is tinned will last long time, curry is in long lasting sealed pack good till of 2024. Curry in box, looks nice to me. My dinner curry, Cantonese style does not suit my Japanese taste haha would of liked the curry in pouch, as meat and vegis

Well, Cantonese curry is the closest curry to the Japanese kind!
I have eat it dry, broken up as snack haha. Tonight went to Hong Kong restaurant, saw people order it in a restaurant (instant noodles), it amazes me people would out to restaurant and eat this ! (I had very nice pork buns ē¼ćč±ć¾ć which is much better!)
Thereās a HK restaurant in Kaohsiung? Whatās it called?
Try every nice hotel restaurant.
I mean, I know there are fancy ones. I was asking about the one DKaohsiung went to, which sounds like a casual place.
In the county jail they sell instant noodles on the canteen but donāt provide any way to cook it, so you have to get the hot water from the tap, except it isnāt hot, itās lukewarm.
The post sentencing jails/prisons are much better, as they provide microwaves.
I went to ē¼čØč¶å»³, yes not fancy, cheap and ONLY open FRI/SAT/SUN haha. Busy, had a short wait earlier for seats.
