Well, it was upstairs on an A380. 😉

PHX-PHL American Airlines

A chicken breast, terribly overcooked.  The rice was nice.  They served the rolls this time.

Singapore Airlines NYC-SIN... Meal #1

PXL_20241225_044153680.thumb.jpg.519c253fcad48858f2a303b3244984a2.jpg

A very nice mixed leaf salad with 2 perfectly poached shrimp, plus candied walnuts, blackberries and croutons. The sticky toffee pudding was pretty good too.

My wife got steamed chicken with lily buds (book the cook)

Mine was braised e-fu noodles with chicken and yu choy (also btk). Great aroma to the braising liquid and chicken (dark meat) was tender and moist. I've had this before but this time was a bit better and the yu choy were not overcooked this time like they were last time.

Meal #2:

Decent croissant and the mixed fruit was ok - really good pineapple but strawberries were pretty flavorless. The yogurt/mango/oat/coconut confection was good.

Soy sauce chicken with wok fried noodles. Dark meat chicken was tender and moist and noodles had decent texture.

 

4 more hours until we land!

What is your flight time for this flight? 

 

About 18 - 18.5 hours.

 

I also had a really good double chocolate muffin (from Norway) and a nice oolong tea about an hour ago but no pics.

 

This is the refresher just served about 2 hours before landing:

While it's no NYC pizza, it's a very tasty flat bread with tomato sauce, cheese and dried basil.

It's far too long in a plane 😉, at least you didn't go hungry.  Beats 1 or 2 enroute stops or aircraft changes I guess.

18 hours in Dhaka airport, Bangladesh is a lot worse! That was a total nightmare and I had to do it twice!
