What’s onboard? Singapore Airlines – Coach – Meals (SQ298)

It’s Sunday, which means it’s time for some food porn.Β  “What’s onboard”.

Today’s featured flight is SQ298 – Christchurch – Changi (departs at 11:20am)

Lunch

This was my first daytime flight with Singapore Airlines. Therefore had been very excited about the lunch menu they’re offering.
Even in economy class you have the choice between several meals.

appetizer: Couscous salad with beef pastrami

main courses

  • Grilled salmon fillet with green peppercorn sauce
  • Kung-po style chicken with rice and vegetables

dessert: Ice cream

I opted for the Grilled salmon fillet. It’s really delicious and maybe the best economy class meal I’ve had so far.
They offered hokey-pokey ice cream. I read it’s Kiwi’s favourite ice cream.

Inflight snacks

The lovely Singapore Girls regularly go through the aisle and offer drinks and light bites

What they offer:

  • Savoury sandwich/rolls
  • vegetarian sandwich/rolls
  • Roasted peanuts
  • Sweet slice
  • Muffin
  • Potato chips
  • Fruit

I picked a delicious Savoury sandwich.

Light meal

Time for an early dinner. (I love time zone differences).
appetiser: Waldorf salad with smoke chicken
Main courses:

  • Roasted chicken with honey mustard sauce
  • Stir fried beef in oyster sauce

dessert: Chocolate mousse

I opted for the stir fried beef. with seasonal vegetables and rice. My first thought: The best inflight meal in economy class.

The first dinner was awesome. Even in economy class you have the choice between several meals.

I opted for the Chicken with rice, carrots, cabbage and Chinese mushrooms. It’s really delicious and a perfect meal before sleeping through the flight.
It also includes a delicious salad and a roll with butter, cheese and cracker.

It was also time for another Singapore Sling. πŸ˜‰

 

Breakfast

I decided to eat a full breakfast.

Fruit appetizer, fruit yogurt, breakfast roll and the following main course:

Omelette with chicken sausage and baked beans. The Omelette was okayish, something that Singapore Airlines can improve.

The dessert was a very delicious muffin.

The Singapore Sling

Oh yeah! The Singapore signature cocktail. I just had to try it. Singapore Airlines offers it for free in every class.

My new favourite cocktail. It’s so delicious!

It’s a strong, but also very sweet cocktail. It definitely helps to make you sleepy on a long-haul flight. πŸ˜‰
