In the upcoming posts, I'll be sharing with you the vegetarian food and also fun I had in New York and Chicago :)
But first, I'll take you through the vegetarian meals served on board Cathay Pacific from KL to HK and HK to JFK.
KL-HK (Oriental Meal) Yummy! I love the "soy chicken" and the veggies on the side, not salty, not oily. A very healthy meal indeed! Fruit platter - Perfect when you're only up for a light meal during a very long flight!
HK-JFK (New York) (Oriental Meal) Oh i love this set! The gravy for the mushrooms went perfectly well with the rice. The mantous (the air stewardess gave me 2!) was also very well "steamed" as they were not "tough" unlike most store-bought/frozen mantous Hehe, they even have Tau Fu Far!
I'd go for the oriental meal on Cathay Pacific anytime!
A delicious oriental MAS meal to prep us for Kunming, China
We have been advised that March/April will be a good time to visit Shangrila, Kunming, China as the weather will be favourable and some wild flowers will be in bloom. We started our trip on 1st April and found that the weather in Shangrila was fine and with a few layers of warm winter clothings we felt really nice and comfortable. However, the sun is very strong already at this time of the year and to protect ourselves from the strong ultraviolet radiation, it is good to wear a sun hat that is large enough to keep off the sun rays from the face. On board the MAS flight we had selected the Asian and Oriental vegetarian option.
Wholesome and delicious salad with an acceptable variety of cut fruits Oriental menu - stewed bean curd sheets topped with shitake mushrooms to accompany a bowl of steaming hot Jasmine rice Asian menu - Yum, this is one of the best Asian vegetarian I've had on a flight as I particularly liked the variety of veggies that was used in this option. :)
Recently on our flight to Chengdu we went by the flatbed, and it was worth every penny! Meal is complimentary and although we only had one choice, Vegetarian Kung Pao chicken with rice, we were quite happy with it. The taste is alright and it came piping hot and upon demand, a good plus side of premier class!
We flew back with Firefly this time. It was quite a pleasant flight as the seats are in the 2-2 order. Although firefly uses propeller planes, we found the journey to be quite interesting as the plane flew at an altitude of 16000 feet rather than 30000 feet on regular airlines. Therefore, we had a bird's eye view throughout the entire journey of our flight. We even saw Genting Highlands in the far distance when approaching Kuala Lumpur from the window of our plane (we flew in the night). We were also being served a cup of juice and a muffin each. Note: muffin may contain eggs, so be sure to check with firefly if you do not consume eggs.
Vegetarian Fried Rice + Kit Kat + Spritzer Mineral Water (Pre-order RM 20) - very oily, though it tastes quite good. the vegetarian satay is like the ones u buy from the frozen section.
Two avid vegetarians are here to share some insights to the world of vegetarianism.
Hopefully, through this site, the lives of some animals can be spared. Always remember, animals have feelings too, they are our friends not our meal.
