Airplane Food

We flew from JFK to Narita and had three meals on our 14 hour flight. Everytime I come to Taiwan (or anywhere in Asia) I swear it’s going to be my last time because I seriously cannot stand flying for that long. Here are the three meals I had on my flight.

The first meal was about 3 hours into the flight. We were delayed for about two hours in New York because the plane was stuck somewhere else and also needed to be cleaned, so by the time the food came, I was starving. We had the choice between chicken curry and barbeque beef, so I went with the chicken:

The chicken was really sweet (I don’t think there was actually any curry) and came with a side of carrots, a salad, imitation crab and cucumber sushi, and a brownie. The first meal was kind of a disappointment, but not terrible.

Second meal was definitely the worst – turkey ham and cheese with an oreo cookie. For some reason, the bread was REALLY soggy AND the oreo was soggy, too!! How can the oreo be soggy if it’s sealed?! I was quite disappointed:

Last meal was more chicken (choice between chicken or pizza), fruit, and milano cookies. The guy I sat next to also gave me his fruit:

We landed in Narita and went through security again (not sure why) and boarded our plane for a short flight (3 hours). The meal from Narita to Taipei was the best, but I didn’t take a picture of it because the stewardess woke me up to give me my plate and I didn’t want to get up to get my camera. The meal was rice that was actually cooked, beef with noodles, a small salad, and apple jelly. When we arrived in Taipei, I asked my mom to take a picture of me:

As soon as we landed, we found our driver and he drove us to our hotel. He was surprised that we weren’t born in Taiwan because he said our Chinese was really good (something I found very funny considering my Chinese is pretty terrible). Night market post is coming up!
