‘Chicken on the way’
This was the first meal en-route to Hong Kong. Perhaps the most edible airplane meal I’ve ever eaten. Bland but decent chicken, boiled rice and some mushrooms. Good thing about AC meals is that they always come with a dinner roll (“fill up on bread son”) and bottled water – so you don’t have to wait for a drink. If you need beer, you gotta wait.
‘Chicken, rice, avocado, mushroom’
Actually, maybe this was the most edible. Chicken and mushrooms is soy sauce, white boiled rice and warm avocado! Beauty. This was dinner on the flight from Hong Kong to Vancouver. Washed down with a lot of free Scotch.
‘Pasta and meat sauce’
This was dinner on the way to HKG. Perhaps the worst pasta I have eaten in years. But there was a roll! And fresh fruit.
‘Pot Noodles’
Love it. This was breakfast on the way to HKG. Because this flight is full of Chinese people, they try to cater to Chinese tastes. “Chinese tea or English tea” is heard a lot. And they serve noodle soup for breakfast! (Not with Scotch this time).

Fun to see Cup Noodles in a plane. Seems appropriate for a flight to Asia of course.
This is an awesome idea for a running series! I love food, and I love flying, but the marriage of the two is rarely good news. Looking forward to seeing more of these…
Well, as luck should have it, heading back to HGK from Vancouver this week… so will report both ways if there are any changes in the meal plan. Ha.
A running series this will be for sure. If your ever on a long flight, get some photos of your food! Hejorama gang will be posting all our travel food.
I had the “Chicken on the Way” meal from Montreal to Paris and found it edible. truth be told I enjoyed it, I wanted something fairly bland for a long flight shared with 200 plus strangers but this was good, i don’t know that the cold mixed vegetables were but I was hungry enough to eat them and enjoy them. Water was automatic, but there was wine, coffee or soda also on offer. Geoffinkc home from Paris
