🍱 Taste Test: Is It Actually Good?

Let’s be real—economy class food doesn’t have the best reputation. But flying with [Insert Airline Name] gave me a pleasant surprise. The tray came with a neat presentation: a main dish of braised chicken in soy glaze, served with steamed white rice sprinkled with sesame seeds, plus carrots, broccoli, a cold noodle side, a dinner roll, and even a dessert cube that looked suspiciously cheerful.

First bite: The chicken was tender and surprisingly flavorful. Not dry. Not rubbery. The sauce had a sweet-savory punch that reminded me of home-cooked meals in Asia. The veggies? Still had a bit of crunch—not bad considering the altitude.

Cold noodles had that classic sesame oil kick. Refreshing and light, perfect to reset your taste buds mid-flight. The dessert? A yellow sponge cake—nothing gourmet, but not offensive either.

Overall, I'd give it a 7.5 out of 10 for in-flight food. The flavors held up, and there was just enough variety to keep the meal interesting. For economy class? That’s a win.
