 119 Photo taken by: NYB Route: TPE-SIN, BR225 (Morning) Date: 04 December 2004 Flight duration: 4:20 Aircraft class & type: Economy, B747-Combi, Registration: B-16461 Business or leisure: Leisure Meal type: Brunch Contents of the meal: Specially prepared salad (rajma beans, capsicum, lettuce, etc), pea curry, paratha (4 quarters), grated paneer dish (?), kesari baath (?), bread roll, cut seasonal fruits Drink: Orange juice Special meal: Indian vegetarian Rating: 10 (for meal), 10 (for service) Comments: Very surprising to see a great Indian meal on a Taiwanese carrier. I thought it is rare to see specially prepared salad to go with a special meal. Paratha was extremely good and soft but with a bit more oil. Pea curry was heavenly. The grains in the dessert were bigger than what I would expect for regular Kesari Baath which is made of sooji / rava, but I think this dessert was a variation of Kesari Baath. The best meal I have had on a plane accompanied by excellent service.

This is the first meal served about 60 minutes after take off. Rice was cooked Chinese-style where rice is cooked with little more water such that grains of rice are sticky instead of Indian-style where grains are separate. Very good service; flight attendants were very courteous especially to the few non-Chinese. Little quantity, but the flight attendants served vegetable sandwich mid-flight and a breakfast before landing. Camera brand and type: Minolta Dimage XG |
