Air Asia: In-flight meal

Part (1): Kuala Lumpur-Jakarta

IMG_0411

Something like a menu onboard. :) Let me remind you, Air Asia is a low cost, no frills airline.

This mean that meals are not included in your air ticket! Therefore, you may choose to purchase your meal, or not to.

They do provide a pre-booking service for you to choose your preferred meal online when you book your flight. This not only mean lower price but also more variety! So why not pre-book your meals?

That was exactly what I did.

This was what I pre-booked when I booked my flight to Jakarta at:

IMG_0422

Airasia.com (The place where all low fares can be found)

I love spaghetti, therefore I opted for a change from what I usually order, Pak Nasser’s Nasi Lemak.

IMG_0432

This is the set offered online. Meal + coffee/tea for only RM 12. :) I went for tea.

The only does not mean it is cheap but compared to purchasing it onboard, it is slightly cheaper!

IMG_0435

Tada!

IMG_0433

'Mouth watery’! :)

I’ll show you the end product before reviewing it! :)

IMG_0436

Clean sweep! :)

The sauce is just nice right in the middle, the spaghetti is cooked to perfection and it tastes awesome too! :) <3 it! Best pasta ever I’ve ate it the sky!

7 Nuggets for it!



It is a good price considering you’re 30000ft above the air and have no other option.


*This is extra since I have not went on board Air Asia for 1 year plus already and I miss their red hot stewardess!

For my memory:

Part (2) Jakarta-Kuala Lumpur

The menu on the returning sector. If you have a keen eye, you will have noticed the difference between the menu of the onward journey and the returning one.

Yes, you’re right! The top right of the menu stated two different flags!

This is because my journey to Jakarta was on Air Asia while the returning journey was on Indonesia Air Asia.

Certain meals which are available in the Malaysian menu will not be seen in the Indonesian menu and vice versa.

I pro-booked an Indonesian meal since I was onboard AirAsia Indonesia.

IMG_0909

As you can see. Nasi Kuning Manado (Manado’s yellow rice)

Prebooked meals are cheaper and you can choose whether to go with tea or coffee!

So what lies inside ? :)

IMG_0913

Tada!!!!

IMG_0911

CLOSE UP!

This is a popular dish from Sulawesi served with smoke Cakalang(skip-jack tuna), telur balado, fried sweet potato, potato soya with beef and chilli sambal.

The meal served was hot but the ingredients were horrid! except the egg and rice!

I forced myself to eat everything! The meat was hard and not tender, it definitely gave me teeth a hard time!

The sambal was not too spicy and just mild spicy. I will not recommend this to anyone! After a few spoon of the nasi kuning, I regretted for not choosing Pak Nasser’s Nasi Lemak instead. T.T

4 Nuggets overall for this as it is still edible.

It is reasonable since I chose to book my meal online which cost me only RM12 for both meal and drink.

Extra:

Some Indonesians are hot! :P

StarVillage Steakhouse (since 1999)

I totally love western food and i think i have found just the best local restaurant that serves pretty good western and eastern food. It is called StarVillage Steakhouse and the original branch is in OUG but now they have a branch in Puchong. Jalan Kenari.

Check out the map.

So after you ordered your food, guess what, you get TOYS to play with hahaha makes you feel like a kid again. Its those kind of IQ kinda toys

       IMAG0602

So now on to the FOOD. First on the list is my favourite old

mushroom soup

IMAG0606

 

Well i guess this is quite good in comparisonto other local western food restaurants but nothing compared to TGI Fridays or LEX cafe!

But still thumbs up!

 

 

 

Next!

IMAG0608

Escargot! I think it was cooked with garlic sauce. These are rather good quality snails and the flavour is also quite good. Comes with a bun too. If you dont know what escargots are, they are basically a type of snail that people breed and sell and cook. Besides the fact it looks horrible, it tastes good :D

This is HONEY LAMB. My mum ordered it, i only took a small bite. This is their signature dishes , rather sweet because of the honey but if you like sweet things this is perfect for you!

IMAG0614

This was another one that my dad ordered, it was the

T-Bone Steak. Now this wasn’t that good on that day for some reason cause it was rather fat. It shouldn’t be but it happened. So the manager was apologetic for it.

IMAG0620

 

Now onto my own dish, this is a MIXED GRILL. What does it have? It has mushroom sauce chicken , brown sauce lamb and black pepper beef ( you can change the beef to chicken if you want ). This is also their signature dish. I ordered it medium, so the meat was quite tender when i ate it. The sauces tasted good, salad was rather interesting as there are cherries and assorted veges. THUMBS UP!

IMAG0615 IMAG0616

And here is the fancy drinks, i had the banana milkshake (left) and my parents had the coconut ice blended. Milkshake was creamy and banana-ey . Loved it!

IMAG0612IMAG0611

So this is the bill. if you notice, behind the bill you have a coupon. You can redeem it for certain things when you collect just enough of it. So if you order more , resit gets longer, and more of these shall you collect :D

In conclusion, the food is really nice for a locally run western food shop. Pricing to portion is also not too bad. Usually a steak would be like 40 bucks but here it is just RM18. Plus if you wanna stop by for lunch, they have a promotion. For RM8.90 you can get a main course such ( local asian food ) and a drink (Ice lemon tea etc) and an ice cream! :D
