Mess Officer Wang An is whipping up some culinary treats for soldiers of his company of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) over the next week -- on his computer.

"It's very easy for me to do the job now," says Wang, pointing to the computer. "Thanks to this machine, soldiers now can have their meals prepared in a scientific way."

There are more than 10,000 kinds of dishes and staple foods stored in the system, which helps people like Wang choose a propermenu for soldiers.
