Food In Flight

Strangely, since I came back from my holidays, quite a few number of people asked me this question when I told them that I flew Thai Airways. Today, some people in the office asked me the same question.

"So, the food on-board nice arr?"

I thought it was strange because when I flew Malaysian Airlines, nobody asked me this question... Why ah?

So, how did I answer them? "Errrr... not bad loh..." (Not forgetting the alcohol too, which reminds me, someone specifically asked me to Enjoy The Flight/Food/Liquor before I left for London... *nostalgic sigh*)

Anyway, here are some of the food on-board TG 916 and TG 420 on my way to London, 3 meals & some snacks & drinks in between. 2 hours' flight to Don Muang (the old airport, replaced by Suvarnabhumi [check out some pics of the new airport here] on 27th of September last week), Bangkok, in-transit 3 hours, and 12 hours' flight to Heathrow, London.

Do you feel hungry now? *grins*


Breakkie...

Some fruits & whatnots...

An overview of the breakkie...

Prettier and surely more delicious than his Salted Peanuts, rite??

Lunch is served...

Dessert & salad & appetizer...

This cake tasted yummmmm!!!

Plus these snacks for lunch, the heaviest meal of all!

I thought they were so cute...

More snacks - Roasted Sunflower Kernel Cereal Coated with Anchovy & Spice.
What a mouthful and definitely the best snack of 'em all!
DYK where I can get this? In this size as well??

Then it's (almost) dinner... did you see a Dragon's head here?
Feikor did...

Dinner "set"

whee!! my first Pratinum!! *muak muak*

actually hor, I'm not fussy with food, so when it comes to airplane meals, as long as it fills my tummy, I'm ok lah. I like that "Roasted Sunflower Kernel Cereal Coated with Anchovy & Spice" bit, nice ah? and the salt / sugar / soya sauce pack is really really cute!!

"chicken flavour coated peanuts"... hmmmm... chicknut?

seefei said...

BTW, there was once on my way to NZ flying with MAS, they served us nasi lemak curry chicken with potatoes. Damn nice. LOL.

The rosettes in your breakfast are potatoes? Pretty. Pretty purple tableware too. heehee..I'm sure you didn't take any home, right?
The sad thing about flying long haul and having so many meals and snacks is that I can never get hungry enough to really appreciate the food.
But I'm biased towards SIA...fantastic meals when I flew to London. Great meals to India too. Let's see if the food is as good to Middle East.

mistipurple said...

If I were sitting beside you, my thoughts would be "first time traveller .... tsk, plane food also wanna take photos". Summore, lined up all those little packs for photo shoot !!

Tell you what, next time I will take some nice food shots ... provided the stewardess is willing to hold the diffuser light :)

**********
Dear fantasyflier,...
Eh?? Airport? Which one? The new Bkk Airport?

Yes, the condiments are really cute but now I donno why I didn't keep it! Arrghh!!!

**********
Dear saya awak,...
Eh, my country is not your country ah? Har??

Did I enjoy the flight? I suppose I did because I said I would... I was bz looking outta window, fidgeting here and there but I like the small pillow they provided. Can lean by the window with the small pillow... the person sitting beside me was a cute teenage boy who kept eating chocs, apples and busy playing with his PSP. Couldn't pick him up cos his mother is sitting beside him.

**********
Dear Sir Simple American,...
Haha! Yeah, it could look like a gator... I see the jaws... but mine doesn't look like that, oh... :P

Haha! It's not literally chicken coated peanuts... just the flavor larrr...
*imagines how a real chicknut looks like*

**********
Dear kat,...
Yup yup, breakfast was scrambled eggs, sausage & mash potatoes.

Hahaha! Tableware, take home?? Can wan mehhh?? I paiseh... haha! There's one thing that took my by surprise actually... On the KUL-BKK flight, they actually gave us the steel fork & spoon & knife! Can meh? Especially after

Ditto about the fact that they keep feeding us all the way, kan? Most of the time, I think they give us too much food and I feel kinda guilty if I don't at least try to finish it...

SIA? I should try one day... maybe to Rome... or NY... or Calgary? Heh heh...

**********
Dear mistiliu,...

I also want the cute condiments but I didn't keep 'em! Can't remember why! And why do Thais need fish sauce, huh?

Stewardess are cute! Very sweet for the eyes ;) But didn't see the Kapitan la... altho' the stewards ain't so cute as the stewardess...

Really TG's food is better than MH?? What about Cathay Pacific? British Airways? :D

**********
Dear scau,...
If I were sitting beside me, I'd think, "Ahhh, this one must be blogger." And then I'll say, "Hi, I'm angelestrix dot blogspot dot com and you are...?" How's that for a pick-up line?

If u are gonna take some nice food shots, you can share it with everybody, you know? Our in-house Lokter Chen always say, "Sharing Is Caring."

**********
Dear butty,...
Hahaha! Apalah! So long oni remember! Like ah mah liddat... :P

fishtail said...

The food on board MAS wasn't anything to write home about; both going out and coming back. From your pics, looks like Thai serves better food *drool*

rainbow angeles said...

Dear fishtail,...
Aloha! Welcome to my sometimes-a-bit-crazy blog...
*brings Red Carpet*
So you took MAS, huh? I wonder how was your experience @ Heathrow on your way back... My flight was 9.30pm, I reached Heathrow at 7pm and by the time I walked into the plane, it was already the Final Call @ 9.30! Panic, I tell you! I thought I was gonna miss the flight! The security check was a bit over the top, don't you think?
