Ewan Shamsudin 0 Report post Posted November 7, 2007 If anything is to be learned from the stupid remark fiasco is the fact that you can bash and be extremely critical about racial relations, politicians, even the nation! But when it comes to spotting and simming, don't you dare pushing Azahan's button. Why? Because this is an aviation enthusiasts' forum. Not everyone can fly aircrafts or get to travel every other week on business class. For many the way to lepas gian is spotting and simming. A pastry chef doesn't refer to a sous chef's work as stupid for the whole kitchen to hear. Likewise if you are a shoe fetish, you shouldn't say that lingerie fetishism is stupid. I might get offended! I have to agree with Azahan regarding the apologetic remarks made before knowingly hurting somebody. If i were to enter a room and say 'Sorry i don't mean to disgust you but i'm going to fart'. Then i farted. How'd you feel? Is my apology going to minimize your disgust? We are talking to each other here through writing. The chances for misinterpretation is great. Should i give you tutorial in discourse analysis 101 to appreciate the gravity of your finger talk?

Fitri Shukri 0 Report post Posted November 7, 2007 (edited) I'm going for spotting at PEN tomorrow, and for the first time, I'm bringing my 2 year old daughter with me (no choice really, she always wants to follow her daddy, and she loves looking aircraft)... And we are not stupid... in fact, my daughter is brainier than her father (ps. the picture on the left, it is my 2nd daughter, not the one i'm bringing to PEN) Edited November 7, 2007 by Fitri Shukri Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sandeep G 1 Report post Posted November 7, 2007 deiiiii long time never write anything... and I came across this! shhheeesshhh I didn't see that brash statement until today.... pretty daring, and stupid in itself. Oh well.. My M.A.R's lack of replies, I figure he's thought or thinking about what he did. hmmmm ok, snackboxes - in the interest of possibly sounding out of whack - could it possibly just be a short term solution until coffers get full and more rationale catering expenditure can be implemented, or is this a long term thing? How do they look, excuse my complete lack of forum reading of late as I have been dodging particularly peculiar Perth wx!! In all fairness, they are making a decent profit this year, but anyone know if the profit can be stomached until next year?? Maybe to REALLY save on catering, MAS should just make a single cabin into a hawker centre on it's widebody a/c. Have a Nasi Lemak stall, Chicken Rice stall, Dosai/Curry stall, Ramly burger, ABC stall, etc etc! That would be unique and pax would only have to pay what, RM3.50 per meal?? at most RM6??? I tell you ah, the flying mamak with Bryani and Sup Kambing would be most special at those heights! Just playing around here... I'm sure MAS will buck up, they have to or else...

zaki 0 Report post Posted December 9, 2007 (edited) I found these images of the (in)famous snack box from a blog. (Source: here) I personally think it looks good in terms of presentation. That plastic box with the flowery designs is nice and lovely. Not sure about the sandwiches though. That Cadbury chocolate thingy is definitely better than the crappy Beryl's. Has anyone had the 'luck' to sample the snack box? Care to share your thoughts? Should MH INSIST on the serving of this snack box in the near future, how do you think it can be improved?

Eric C 0 Report post Posted December 9, 2007 (edited) I don't have any experiences with their snack box, although I can comment that it looks decent from the pictures that I am seeing. Decent, that is, only for a lunch-meal maybe. Do they serve the same thing for morning and night flights? I would hate to see this box if I am having an early-morning or late-night flight when when a hot breakfast or dinner is more appropriate. Even to Australian standards, sandwiches are totally inappropriate for breakfast or dinner. edit: and I do believe that there is another thread relating to this Edited December 9, 2007 by ericchai Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ivan L. 0 Report post Posted December 9, 2007 (edited) how do you think it can be improved? - Take the box out - Dump the box into the rubbish bin - Stuffed the content into IJ - Go to the mamak stall and order thousands of nasi lemak and roti paratha - Serve it with the legendary MH service Edited December 9, 2007 by Ivan L.

Western ppl, take American for example has no problem with hot or cold food. In fact, one of the most profitable fast food provider, the SUBWAY, is serving cold food. Other than that, Many airports in the US offer cold sandwiches as their primary product, hot food such as burger and steak are luxury meal for them. And as for a 4 hours flight, meal serve portion of that size is definitely acceptable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Azuddin 1 Report post Posted December 9, 2007 Why not take away some Mc Donalds or KFC at the terminal and enjoy it on board. I've done it before on MH94 and there even still enough OR chicken for my CO LAX-IAH flight. Azuddin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Georg Burdicek 1 Report post Posted December 9, 2007 And as for a 4 hours flight, meal serve portion of that size is definitely acceptable. The size might be well acceptable, but the QUALITY of the food is just poor. Tastles and of limp consistency... By the way, sandwiches are rather expensive as there is lot of manual action involved in peperation. Why not simply serve some cup noodles... they should be cheaper and even the cheapest brand will taste better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rozhan 0 Report post Posted December 9, 2007 Stop flying MH on sectors that serve this box, with the expectation that hot meal will return. If it doesn't, then don't fly on MH anymore. I'm doing that already. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KK Lee 5 Report post Posted December 9, 2007 Sandwich from any Aussie, Western European or US food court or fast food restaurant is better than those serve by MH either in portion, taste, variety, etc. If MH management can take the snack box for lunch continuously for a week, I will salute them.
