KL: A foodie flies SIA economy

Due to unforseen circumstances I am back in Kuala Lumpur. As it was a family emergency and I had to get the first good flight to KL. So yesterday I flew SIA economy for the first time in 16 years.

There is no denying that I missed the great sleeper seats in business however....flying economy was actually quite enjoyable thanks to the excellent crew of SQ 351. They gave excellent service with a smile and lots of patience. The big surprise was the quality of the food and drinks even without the fine dining service with tablecloths and glass. The standard tray revealed a flavourful meal. In fact both meals were good.

Her is my little foodie view of the trip


Some excellent ham and cheese, tuna mousse and wine at the Diners service lounge, Copenhagen Airport

Onwards to gate C33 with a stop at Lagkagehuset for som Choco Rye - YUM!

Time to do SIA economy

The usual Bloody Mary sans fine dining service tastes just as good

 
The excellent service started with hot towels

The standard tray with great flavours - potato salad with smoked salmon, braised beef in black pepper sauce, chinese vegetables and steamed rice

The ice-cream dessert - sharp and refreshing

Rounded off by coffee and baileys.
 
Many glasses of juice and water later....

Breakfast was delightful with organic blue berry yoghurt, fresh fruit and a robust dish of braised egg noodles with chicken and mushroom in Oriental sauce and vegetables


Landed in Changi and off to KL. The short flight to KL boasted only of a disappointing cup of sealed orange juice.
