Nice Packaging, Shame About the Contents
posted by FH2o
Great to store and easy to serve and easy on the eyes. Pity that it's hard to swallow!I was on the MAS Kuching-KL flight on Thursday night when the stewardess handed from their meals cart a nice package which I initially thought was a complimentary present! Nice I thought until I realized that this was our meal! Whatever happened to the hot meal which until now I had never missed anyway. Frequent flyers on MAS would customarily give their fish meals a miss as it has a distinctive ‘fishy’ smell that is quite unpalatable. Not that their chicken, omelet, or (tough) beer ‘steak’ is any better… Anyway I'm a picky eater but life's too short to waste on eating lousy food.
Anyway back to this new packaged meal which consist cold sandwiches which unfortunately was too dry, a small apple and a small package of biscuits. I suspect that the packaging easily costs more than the food itself. WTF.
Great packaging and great if you like sandwiches and your meals cold. Now Everyone Can Starve!Alarmed that if this is what I’m going to be getting as meals on MAS flights from now onwards, I might as well fly AirAsia; I checked with one of the equally nicely packaged stewardess who informed me that this would be on trial for 3 months and judging from their ‘survey’ – 91% are in favor! Really. And if this is correct, it would appear that nowadays packaging matters more than substance. *sigh*

One thing I don't understand is why are they serving sandwiches than Asian meal ? It would be like our Southerner town here serving nasi lemak instead of their black eyes peas !
