Inflight Meal - Singapore Airlines

Here's another inflight meal that I had when I went beijing for work early this year.
Do note that if you are travelling, most airlines cater to vegetarians, however do make your reservations for vegetarian food on board when you purchase your ticket.
Anyway, for Singapore Airlines, they have quite a number of vegetarian options available. I usually request for Oriental Vegetarian. They do have vegan or indian vegetarian meals as well.

Inflight - SG - BJ

One thing good about making early meal reservations is that you are usually the first to be served before the rest. The only drawback is that we do not have any menu to choose, so you are to eat what you are served. I guess there are different meals served on each different flight route.

The Main

I was happy with the main as it was what I like! The main comprises of stir fried yee mee with mock meat, vegetables and carrots. The mock meat is known as "猪肝" (aka pig's liver) cooked in veg oyster sauce. If you are a fan of liver, you can get this from most vegetarian suppliers. My mum's version is usually with lots of ginger slices cooked in dark soy sauce.

Salad

For the salad, I was served with tomatoes, asparagus, bambooshoots as well as abalone mushrooms. All are well steamed and lightly marinated with salt. Quite refreshing.

Dessert

I love the dessert most. This is lychee jello with orange. The jello wasn't too sweet.

I'm surprised that I ate the entire meal, perhaps it was suitable for me. Now im anticipating for the next meal on my next flight..SQ has not disappointed me so far.. If you have had other better flight meals, do take some pictures and post a review! I'm contactable at my email on the right.

Inflight Meal - Air Asia Budget Airline

Im not particular about inflight meals usually as I would normally doze off by the time the plane takes off. In addition, most planes do not offer quality vegetarian options most of the time. The only airline that has won me over is Singapore Airlines. Nonetheless, due to the fact that Im always travelling on budget, there isnt any food provided on budget flights unless you have specially requested for it.
During my recent trip to Bali, I've noted that there are quite a number of vegetarian options on air asia, which made me want to try them out. Hence on my flight back, I tried one of the meals offered.

*Do note that not all veg meals are available at the same time. Depends on Flight*

Vegetarian Fried Rice with satay $5 (RM 9)

The fried rice tasted normal, but a little spicy and oily. Comprises of capicums, mushrooms and chili. As for the Satay, it was quite well marinated and pan-fried. Aint too bad in my opinion, as the chicken is the usual "盐酥鸡" that we can find at most veg stalls. It is then marinated with curry powder and spicies. I personally liked this satay, except they do not have any satay sauce to go with.
Price wise, a little on the high side, if you compare with tze char places, but could at least curb your hunger pangs for a while. Anyway, the point to note would be that if your flight is delayed, do request for the food early as they would usually run out.
