Honestly I was prepared for the worst. You know how bad airline food can be at times. Thus I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of their in flight meals. Ex Penang mind you.
We had to choose between curry rice or sausage. We took one of each.
This is the chicken curry rice. Rice is soft, moist and fluffy, while the meat was tender and well marinated . Cooked in fragrant, not too hot, very appetising Hong Kong style curry. Looks dry here, but I assure you, that this meal was good.
Loved that they included yogurt for breakfast.
I didn't really like the sausage. A bit too limp for my liking. Kind of resembled a semi scottish breakfast.
The deep maroon coloured, rolled piece of meat is a kind of ham. Very tasty although a little on the dry side .
The egg, on the other hand was something else. A real delight that left you wondering what the secret recipe was. I think there were bits and pieces of chopped vegies inside.
Delicious.
Such a good meal deserves two thumbs up. Or so you may think, however service wise, there was much left to be desired .
The service on this particular Cathay Pacific flight is nothing compared to MAS. I think MAS spoils us passengers rotten by catering to our every whim and fancy whenever possible .
Once the crew were done keeping our meals, I think they thought that, that was it. No need to cater to us anymore cos us passengers can be really bothersome.
Many passengers on CX 692 pressed the call button to request for water or other things but the man in charge switched off all the call lights without even bothering to ask if we needed anything.
Shut my eyes although I really needed a glass of water at one point.
Such a damper to the nice meal we had enjoyed earlier.
