H Azmal 0 Report post Posted June 18, 2008 Yummy time in the air KUALA LUMPUR: AirAsia passengers will now have a wider range of local dishes to choose from when flying with the airline. Its chief executive officer Datuk Seri Tony Fernandes said there were about 12 new additions to the menu, including roti jala, roti canai, chicken rice, Indonesian fried rice with satay and local fruits. “Serving hot and delicious food is part of our five-star service for our passengers, and all these food items are sourced from local entrepreneurs,” he said after the launch here yesterday. He added that passengers could also pre-book their food when they bought their tickets online. A check on the AirAsia website showed that the roti jala costs RM6, fresh local fruits (RM5), and Sri Melur Jaya Roti Canai (RM5). Asked if including more food choices would raise the cost, Fernandes said no. At the event, Fernandes also announced the company's new chairman – Datuk Aziz Bakar.

Alan B. 5 Report post Posted June 22, 2008 I have to first admit that I am not a fan of mamak food. So I am not that excited with the "new" menu. My question is, does the food come from a Flight Kitchen (KLASS/Brahim) using the recipe from Sri Melur or from the back of some kedai mamak? If so, what are the food safety guidelines use? I notice that the hot meals are not frozen when sent to the aircraft, just room tempreture and just heated for about 5 minutes. Normally, meals are blast chilled and heated for about 20 minute on board. Just wondering................ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
