Fahiruz 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2014 Brahim charge MH beef satay at RM3.20/stick, so I wont be surprised that Nasi lemak telanjang costs RM20. Add some "cheap" kangkung then it'll be RM30. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kandiah k 0 Report post Posted February 2, 2014 (edited) AK has chicken curry as well and their Nasi Lemak is quite a bargain compared to the ridiculous RM20 for the naked Nasi Lemak. This is why MH has to seriously cut down on its expenses such as to Brahim's and etc. They would still be able to have their own catering if not for the crazy contracts they have for a RM3 per piece eggs. Shame!!! Edited February 2, 2014 by kandiah k Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Josh T 0 Report post Posted February 2, 2014 This whole thing with Brahim's catering is scandalous. This is the main reason why MH can never be successful when competing against SQ, CX, TG and even GA! Such corruption. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MAS unfortunately, despite their amazing crew and excellent engineering, can never be profitable if u have people like F@&k Lah and his cronies sucking money in like nothing. RM3 per egg?

Lim Kar Yong 0 Report post Posted February 2, 2014 (edited) A proper tray is also missing from the picture uploaded by Chef Wan. Yeah - there is no more tray for most domestic and regional flights - the meal now served with the paper box containing just the "naked" nasi lemak and mineral water. that's all. On some flights, even hot beverages are not served. No more bun, no more fruits/desert, no more kacang! Just shows how the meals served have deteriorated over the years.

Walter Sim 1 Report post Posted February 2, 2014 (edited) Any cabin crew can confirm? As far as i can remember the ikan bilis and peanuts are served in a small plastic container.

BC Tam 2 Report post Posted February 2, 2014 A proper tray is also missing from the picture uploaded by Chef Wan.My guess - what is missing is not a tray (proper or otherwise) but a cardbox My sister confirmed what she got last week was a box, that bit of water and the tray of 'food' I can only assume the napkin and cutlery were included - no mention of any drinks offered either And it was only in December I was fully convinced MH's catering had improved so much Must have caught it at crest of the wave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
affendi osman 0 Report post Posted February 2, 2014 Any cabin crew can confirm? As far as i can remember the ikan bilis and peanuts are served in a small plastic container. That should not be that hard to serve. I can only say that this crew is being defensive. During my recent flight on GARUDA INDONESIA (Fairul can confirm this too), their flight is superb, and they even serve snack box on a 55 minutes flight. My flight, CGK - SUB, took about 1 hour and 10 minutes and their service was far beyond what MH offered to us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BC Tam 2 Report post Posted February 2, 2014 (edited) That response by kerja atas awan (possibly one amongst us here ?) is at least 'entertaining' So now we know why MH's servings are so small - the serving carts used by MH are too small to accommodate (MUAT) larger portions. Carts must be of some unique dimensions/specifications compared to those employed by other airlines who try to feed (pamper?) their pax a bit better Big difference between the makcik depan rumah's nasi lemak and MH's nasi lemak - the former is prepared whilst the latter is reheated. But I guess the real issue could be that any extra time taken up by the reheating/ loading/serving procedure will eat up directly into said pramugara MAS's bonding time with fellow cabin crew at curtained off area at back of plane after meal service As per first word of his response ...... sedih Edited February 2, 2014 by BC Tam Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Walter Sim 1 Report post Posted February 2, 2014 (edited) If they can do it last time (pre cost cutting days) why not now. Maybe new aircraft galley ovens are smaller? New carts are smaller? Edited February 2, 2014 by Walter Sim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Johan Z 0 Report post Posted February 2, 2014 Maybe stop serving nasi lemak then. Do noodles or wrap or sandwiches. Not everyone can stomach nasi lemak in the morning. If they can't serve cucumber or anchovies, they could be creative by having pickled veggies (acar) instead. Regarding comparison to AirAsia, many trip reports I encountered stated that many passengers purchased the meals onboard. So AirAsia crew might have to reheat the same number of meals per flight.
