Part (1) : Kuala Lumpur-Dubai
This is the very first time TNS is bringing to you an in-flight food review.
To those who are new to it: The in-flight food is actually catered by airlines for their passengers during a flight service.
Food provided by different airlines may vary.
The very first in-flight meal review is onboard a Emirates flight service from Kuala Lumpur to Dubai.
Lets see what is on the menu:
A choice between chicken or fish.
Appetiser: Tri coloured pasta with surimi
Info: Surimi = Crab stick in Japanese.
A great choice using spirali as the pasta, adding some colours to the salad. The dressing was lacking in the sense that it was a bit dry but otherwise edible.
Main course: I first chose the fish but later found myself still hungry so I took the chicken too! :)
1)Grilled sea perch with red pepper sauce.
The noodles/pasta was sticky at first but otherwise when mixed with the sauce. The taste is great and the fish is quite tender. The green beans were perfectly cooked too!
2) Traditional chicken korma.
The rice is warm, the chicken is tender, the mixed vegetables is varied. Thumbs up! Simple yet tasty~
Desert: Blackberry crumble
A very nice not too sweet desert to end the meal.
Overall the food service was great and the meal served was great too!
You cant ask for more at about 30000ft. above sea level. :P
Nuggets rating overall :
7 Nuggets! There is still room for improvement!
Ohh ya, no price review because the food is complementary which is included with your purchase of the air ticket.
However, if you ever come across the same menu on any Emirates flight, I suggest the chicken more than the fish. :)
Part (2) : Dubai-London
Menu of the flight.
Supper: Chicken Tikka Sandwich
Nice tender chicken strips with some creamy coleslaw! The muffin is just normal.
Breakfast: A choice between mushroom omelette or breakfast grill
:) I love BBQ/grilled stuff, therefore I chose breakfast grill!
Fruit: Fresh seasonal fruit.
Awesome mixed breakfast grill.
The chicken is tender, the turkey rashers is perfectly grilled, sausage is tasty, fried potato cubes are well fried, and the baked beans made this awesome breakfast complete! Thumbs up!
Croissant: Very very nice together with the solid butter cube! :)
Nuggets ratings overall for this sector of flight:
Very well done! Love the mixed grill! Opt for that if they offer you on your flight!
Part (3) : London-Dubai
Well, this flight is quite special, it is onboard the world’s largest commercial airplane, the A380!
This is the bird! :)
Alright now the menu for this leg:
Dinner!
Appetiser:
Prawn Cocktail:
Prawns served with a generous slice of smoked salmon with some thousand island sauce and curly endive. :) The salmon slices and prawns were very fresh. A great appetiser indeed!
Main Course:
Chicken or Lamb?!
1) Lamb curry
Lamb Curry/ Nasi Beriyani!
Creamy lamb curry with spinach and rice with raisins/nasi beriyani! Along with some red pepper! This is the tastiest lamb curry I’ve ever eaten! The lamb is superbly cooked, super tender and the curry blended well with the rice!
2 Thumbs up! AWESOME! Even better than those sold on the ground!
2) Roasted Chicken Breast Fillet
Sorry about the picture, it was taken when it was already half eaten.XD
The chicken is tender, but the sauce is kind of weird, and the mashed potatoes is just normal. The sautéed vegetables is quite tasty though.
Dessert:
Chocolate and praline delice
Rich chocolate topped with dark chocolate brownie pieces and encased in a hazelnut mousse! Very very sweet and nice! :) Great choice for dessert!
Before Landing:
Coffee with these chocolate topped cake/short bread!
What a nice way to end the journey!
Nuggets rating for this A380 journey!
The meals offered are very different with salmon and lamb curry, very very nice meal served! Totally deserved the 8 Nuggets scale.
I recommend the lamb instead of the chicken, you may not find those kind of lamb curry on the ground!
Part (4) : Dubai-Kuala Lumpur
Final leg of the journey. :(
Hmm, so what for lunch?
Appetiser:
Vegetable nicoise
Mixed vegetables tossed in olive oil and served with lemon. Very weird taste. Dislike it.
Main Course:
1) Breaded white fish fillet
Creamy red pepper sauce with dill flavoured mashed potatoes and some dry seasonal vegetables. The fish was a bit tough otherwise edible.
2) Orange hot bean chicken
Soy flavoured chicken thigh was nicely done together with orange flavoured hot bean sauce served with stir-fried pancit noodles. The taste of the sauce is weird, maybe its because of the orange flavour.
Dessert:
The tiramisu with chocolate sauce is the only thing I find nice on this meal service of the flight! Sweet and delicious! :)
Nuggets rating:
6 Nuggets for this sector. It was not what I expected.
This is the only flight I cant recommend which one to choose between the 2 main courses. Both taste plain/weird.
Overall, Emirates offer a very wide range of food and drinks, not once on my 4 sector of flight a choice of meal was repeated.
I would definitely recommend everyone to:
