V Wong 0 Report post Posted September 30, 2007 Snack box artwork - in line with current promo blitz (see MAS new safety video on youtube) in design and colour. Done by the same consultancy team? Beautiful (at least some consolation in this fracas) but probably cost a bomb! Snack box content - yeah, el cheapo trying to pass off as el grande as mentioned earlier. No matter how much dressing is given, a sandwich is still a sandwich. I was thinking of the amount of cost cutting offered by snack box. Apart from cutting staff on flight, could unopened boxes be recycled for the next flight? No heating required, fuel savings, less carbon dioxide emission. recycleable...... MH should have spinned that these boxes are environmentally friendlier than hot meals... apart from being 'wholesome', 'delightful' etc. Yeah, a winning product from a LCC with 5 star cost!

V Wong 0 Report post Posted September 30, 2007 (edited) Ummm... kudos to MH for using the national language on snack box food.. sandwic and air.... at least, will give uninformed foreign language speakers some amusement on boardWhat is the use of the beautifully presented cutlery in the snack box? No sure, but looks like metal to me.... Edited September 30, 2007 by V Wong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BC Tam 2 Report post Posted October 1, 2007 I'm getting tired and fed up with orange juice and salted peanuts <_> Better treasure those for now ! The rate things are going, MH will likely offer sky juice and free air in time to come - and claim it's healthier to abstain from too much salt intake, unadulterated H2O is more refreshing, .......

Isaac 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2007 (edited) Closer look at MAS's snack box... I personally think it is a very well-designed snack box. But at the same time, i also think the portion is pathetic and an utter disgrace compared to what you can get off SQ, TG, CX etc. Even KL is serving a full hot meal on the KUL/CGK sector and the air fare is always much cheaper than MAS. Real shame ... !! reject their snackbox and replied with : " i have much better food" Edited October 1, 2007 by Isaac Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mohd Azizul Ramli 2 Report post Posted October 2, 2007 It has been 2 days since the snackbox takes effect. Any MalaysianWingers with the actual photo onboard? All we see so far are just promotional photos of the snackbox. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alan B. 5 Report post Posted October 2, 2007 Hey.. that Garuda meal looks so yummy even for 1.5hr flight.... very very generous on the prawns... yumm... puasa lerr... For pax who puasa, they get this to take back even though it was a morning flight. Garuda has improved inflight service to compete with LCC's. MH does just the opposite.
