Route: Trivandrum- Abu Dhabi, 18 Jan 2005
Flight duration: 4,5 hours
Aircraft type and class: 767 all economy class flight.
Business or leisure trip: Leisure
Meal type: Lunch
Contents of the meal: Coconut rice with lentils and peas in Indian style masala. Cardamom chicken and chapatti. Cubes of vegetables. Kulfi for dessert. Very tasty, but the chapatti was too hard. The vegetables was without seasoning - perhaps an optional french dressing would do nicely. Except for the chicken the vegetarian version of the meal was absolutely identical.
Drink: Water, laban/ayran (delicious salty youghurt drink) and wine.
Comments: Tasted absolutely Indian - no blandness here!

Comments: The end of my GF experience brought me to yet another terrible meal experience. What was offered as lunch was a selection of beef or chicken (no surprises). I figured that having tried chicken, it was beef’s turn now. Same difference! The beef drenched in salty oily gravy was rubbery in consistency. With brown rice which had a sniff of Arabic flavor. The same bad hummus but with fatoush salad (basic green salad with crunchy pieces of fried pita bread, that were not crunchy on this example!) this time around. The same Ma’mool date pastry was offered. Water and Coke, not to mention the water tasting coffee. I arrived at my destination!

Meal: Dinner
Comments: My first experience with Gulf traveler was as bad that with Gulf Air a few years back (not only the meal). We were given a selection of Beef or Chicken. The meal contained what appeared to be a piece of grilled chicken that till today I am debating if it were chicken or fish! In an oily sauce. With Sticky noodles and baby corn (a stir fry thing perhaps?!). The salad was part hummus which was smooth but not really tasty with a very salty feta cheese in herb thing. Not edible. A piece of Ma’mool which is a famous date pastry, this example was a product of a local bakery chain. Since I am not a general fan of it I didn’t like how it tasted. Not to forget the brown thin pita bread, water, OJ (chemical like) and coffee. In my opinion the best thing with this meal was the coffee spoon, sleek isn’t it?
