Is This Weird? I Like Plane Food

I really do!

It seems like most people hold an intense dislike for airplane food. We often hear a lot of disapproving remarks about the meals.

Perhaps the food is cold or too bland.

My fellow passengers might not seem too excited, but I always look forward to mealtime on planes. It’s one of the highlights of the flight for me!

I often get nervous about flying, but hearing the food cart getting pushed down the aisle makes me forget about my nervousness! There’s just something so nice about the food being delivered to you.

All the little dishes, including a main dish, fruit, sides and a drink.

My very own meal tray filled with goodies!

I have sat in Economy, Premium Economy and Business Class on different airlines. It didn’t matter which section I sat in. I enjoyed the meals all the same! Yes, even the Economy meals!

The best meal I remember was on ANA. I enjoyed savouring the delicious soba noodles! The presentation of the food, the taste and the service were all up to par. I was impressed.

Of course, the most enjoyable meals are always in Business Class. There are full-course meals, artistically arranged on a real plate.

Plus you get little bottles of sauce that are inexplicably adorable! No flimsy plastic cutlery going on in Business Class.

I look forward to ordering the snacks in between meals too! There’s a delicious cup noodle option on Cathay Pacific. I knock right out after eating it!

There’s nothing like enjoying a hot cup of tea while travelling to the destination of your dreams. I think my next trip will be on Eva Air or Cathay Pacific.

I can’t wait for my next trip!
