There is something very wrong with me.
Even when I've eaten lots beforehand, I always feel hungry once I step inside an airplane.
See what I ate en route to Tokyo.
From Manila to Hong Kong on flight CX904:
Apple turnover, fresh fruits, yogurt, tomato juice and coffee
Stir-fried egg noodles with barbecued pork and mixed vegetables, pork and shrimp dumpling
I also had some of my seatmate's Spanish omelette with grilled beef patty,
sautéed mushrooms and spinach :)
From Hong Kong to Narita on flight CX504:
Assorted nuts and crunchies
Roasted duck breast with asparagus, cucumber, green apple and celery salad.
Wild herb salad with dried tofu skin, pickled quail egg and mushrooms.
Mugwort soba noodles and garlic bread.
Baked salmon with sea urchin cream sauce, Japanese rice and mixed vegetables
OOOPS. Clumsy.
Cheeses and fruits
Coffee and strawberry ice cream
I couldn't resist two pieces of chocolates :)
On the flight back home, I found that the CX seats have become rather snug. I had a hard time squeezing my big butt in.
Not the airlines' fault, mind you. These things are bound to happen after 10 days of nonstop feasting in Japan.
Still the eating continued 40,000 feet aboveground.
Narita to Hong Kong on flight CX521:
Sundried tomato pesto marinated prawns with French beans and roasted peppers.
Mixed salad with creamy Italian dressing. Nameko mushroom flavored soba noodles.
Baked ling fillet with ginger soy sauce, Japanese rice and mixed vegetables
Cheeses and fruits
I was excited to death to see they were showing my favorite childhood movie… The Goonies!!!!!
This was probably the only time in my life I didn't sleep during a flight.
Hong Kong to Manila on flight CX905:
Saffron and ricotta tortellini in creamy tomato concasse
Again, I stole some of my neighbor's wok-fried kurobuta pork in sweet chili sauce,
steamed jasmine rice and stir-fried choi sum
Please tell me you eat as much as I do when you travel.
