Two "meals" from my recent flights from Hong Kong to Edinburgh, Scotland via Dubai on Air Emirates.

 

HK-Dubai

 

 

After the pleasant cheese panini (not pictured), I went with the noodles.

 

 

 

This wasn't terrible, but the saucing was a bit over-powerfully flavoured and the greenery overcooked.

 

DBX-EDI

 

 

By the time they got to me, the turkey sandwiches had run out, so I was forced to settle for the mozz and cuke. It was OK.

 

 

I did enjoy the date and ginger cake (to my surprise), but I can't find the picture I'm sure I took.

 

For lunch, I warily chose the chicken chana dal*, but first I had to deal with the appetiser - pasta salad. It looked great but lurking under the orzo (which I love) and black beans was the dreaded yellow insult to food. Pass!

 

 

 

Back to the chana dal. This was by far the least appealing dish visually, but was by far the tastiest. I would have been happy to pay serious money for that in a restaurant.

 

 

I even enjoyed the milk chocolate mousse, despite a notorious lack of sweet tooth.

 

 

Despite the c*rn disgrace, I had a really nice meal.

 

At some point I forget, some cheese and crackers also turned up.

 

 

I'll post the return flights when they occur. I'll have the dal for sure, should it be on offer again.
