I bet the crew didn't report this incident to the company, and no improvement after that. Remember, on AK you SPECIFICALLY purchase that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Samuel Chy 0 Report post Posted February 27, 2014 I have friends posted 2 webpages on food served by airlines on FB. Although I think some of them may not be an apple to apple comparison, nonetheless it makes good read about food served on other airlines. http://cforum.cari.com.my/portal.php?mod=view&aid=47137 http://vdoobv.com/cat8/%EF%BC%92%EF%BC%90%E5%AE%B6%E8%88%AA%E7%A9%BA%E5%85%AC%E5%8F%B8%E3%80%8C%E9%A3%9B%E6%A9%9F%E9%A4%90%E9%BB%9E%E3%80%8D%E5%A4%A7pk%EF%BC%81%E5%88%B0%E5%BA%95%E5%93%AA%E5%AE%B6%E7%9A%84%E9%A4%90%E9%BB%9E/ i don't know what say by the others. IMHO these website just to cause others make more noise, especially those know nothing but comment much. especially the second link, why they can compare the self-paid meal with a full service airline meal? and regional flight vs long haul flights? business/first class vs economy class?

Dr Chuo Hock Tieng 0 Report post Posted February 27, 2014 unfortunately during the time the roasted chicken happened during evening flight and power bank were not that popular yet, hence battery flat. The pizza were truly blunder, forgotten to take photo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
V Wong 0 Report post Posted February 28, 2014 MH 717 to CGK today - nasi lemak no more telanjang. Sambal sotong, Ikan bilis, kacang and egg. Overheard passengers beside me joking about the telanjang story. Chef Wan's comments did have impact on both MH and passengers. Will see how long it remained dressed.

Suspect it was a rushed job to assemble it for damage control after the bad publicity. The sotong portion was also very generous :-) Edited February 28, 2014 by V Wong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Waiping 12 Report post Posted April 22, 2014 (edited) Tada! Served on D7 543 yesterday 21/4/2014. No the picture doesn't do justice to the nasi lemak. The top portion of the rice was slightly burnt, giving you that sticky crunchy sensation. The leaf supposedly for deco purpose was starting to change color to yellow. The egg white also show tiny cracks due to continuous reheating. Didn't take the sambal and the anchovies. I paid RM18 for it without anything else. The crew was kind enough to give each customer who didn't buy any drinks a small cup of Coke. I believe the nasi lemak was brought on a 6hrs 30min to NGO, and then served 2 hours into the return leg. And to think that this was actually served to visitors to Malaysia... Edited April 22, 2014 by Waiping Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flee 5 Report post Posted April 22, 2014 D7 food is not as good as AK. Maybe due to the long distances. Sometimes the rice is dry and hard, sometimes it is soggy, sometimes it is just nice.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Waiping 12 Report post Posted April 22, 2014 I think on the return to Malaysia should just pack food rather than relying on D7 catering. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sometimes the rice is dry and hard, sometimes it is soggy, sometimes it is just nice.... If i'm not wrong, D7 is catered by Brahim Skychefs, AK is catered from its own selected vendors from town, then all put together in their catering warehouse before being sent to the planes.

Waiping 12 Report post Posted April 22, 2014 Like what Flee had mentioned, seems like it's a 50/50 stuff. If you get a good serving say KUL - NGO, then the return must be bad. In fact the Roast Chicken was great on the first sector. Roast Chicken with stuffing. I am not sure if I'd paid RM18 for this because this included the chocolate and the salad. Did the crew made a mistake cause I didn't pre-book my meal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They probably go green and recycle, including excuses - another stale batch of peanuts & ikan bilis detected and embargoed Now, shouldn't you be grateful you were spared that ?

Chris Tan 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2014 (edited) On a recent MH flight, peanuts and anchovies are missing. If peanuts and ikan bilis were missing that hardly counts as Nasi Lemak, IMO Edited June 22, 2014 by Chris Tan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
