Plane Food! Singapore Airlines

Here are some photos from our trip to singapore/malaysia in july!
Or at least, from the plane on the way there haha

Indian vegetarian meal. Tastes better than it looks.
Lentils instead of meat, lots of lovely spice to distract from the dodgy naan

Plane food on Singapore Airlines is not too shabby. You get unlimited orange juice. Free packets of crunchy peanuts... and hot towels every few hours. I think these are to wipe your hands and face. They seem to expect you to use them for all sorts of dirty things though, because when the lady comes back she uses a pair of bbq tongs to take your towel.

They also have all sorts of cool non-standard options for lunch and dinner.

'Seafood meal' on the plane. Pig and chicken are replaced with fish and prawn.

Oriental vegetarian meal
Stir-fried noodles, asian veggies. Soy milk instead of standard Dairy Farmers tub.

Other special meals:

• Child meals - candy and chocolate bars. finger foods like carrot & cucumber sticks, fruit pudding, and spaghetti with meatballs or chicken nuggets with veggies
• Fruit Platter - seasonal fruit that has been "artistically arranged"
• No fat - chicken without skin, skim milk, garden salads
• Low fibre - "designed to reduce the frequency and volume of faecal output"
• Liquid meal - sieved soup, rice milk, soft drink and apple juice
• "Bland meal" - Yes I'll have a bland meal please

It's fantastic how having a food blog gives you the right to sample every single dish your family orders (these days, we usually just ask for four extra bowls and pool the main dishes, to make things easier).
It also gives you a fantastic excuse to do things like browse menus for hours when you go out to restaurants. So instead of packing for Singapore, I spent a day clicking through the extensive plane food menu on the website and printing out colour coded versions of it to file away in a folder 'plane food'. Yes I'm serious. Yes,it's called research. And no, there is no shame in admitting to doing this, if, by any chance, you do

Hand over your food or the giraffe gets it
