Our tables were prepared with good quality table cloths,
heavy linen serviettes and I was also impressed by the other amenities
that the airline provided like Tooth Picks, Smint Mouth Fresheners, Cruet
set (pictured), and refresher towels. However, the decision to not use
metal cutlery was odd and let the presentation down.
The starter (pictured) was very substantial; however, the Lebanese cheese
(to the left) was rather salty. The salad garnish was fresh and tasty,
however.
Never before have I seen an assortment of bread and croissants like I
was offered with MEA- Cheese croissants, donuts, sun dried tomato bread,
traditional Lebanese flat bread, mini baguettes, toast, ciabatta and Olive
bread were just some of the choices available. I was extremely impressed
by this.
The main course was a bit of a let down (not pictured) – not owing
to the general quality of the meal (which was excellent) but rather the
temperature at which it was served (luke warm)
An abundance of beverages were offered- herbal teas, coffees to Verve
champagne, fresh juices, water, liquors and Arak. But as this was a morning
flight, I chose Orange Juice and a coffee, which was very nice.
After the main course, we were offered a fruit basket, containing Cherries,
Plums, Apples, Oranges and Kiwi. The fruit was fresh and served on clean
plates.
Prior to landing in the UK, passengers were offered a variety of Lebanese
pastries, beautifully presented in little boxes embossed with the MEA
logo.
I had mine at home the day after and was impressed by the general quality
of the sweets.
Can’t really fault the meal service- nicer than the food, meal, catering onboard
my last Business class flight with Malaysian to Sydney, but perhaps not
as good as the meal service on a Business class service to Beirut with
British Airways I experienced. |
