California. aeroplane food

Hello everyone! i haven't figured out what my blog's going to be about, nor what I'll be writing about, so I thought I'd stop thinking so much (irony) and just write about what I did today. Basically, I'm jet lagged, a lil' bored, and itching for some typing so here goes my first post! 

I'm in California for the next three weeks visiting my parents, so here's all about my travelling.

The flight.the farewells and the claustrophobic cabin freedom.

So, as a bubble tea fan, a BIG bubble tea fan. I had to drink my last cup of bubble tea from Each a Cup.  Milk tea with Ai-yu jelly. not bad! but i was feeling kind of sad to leave home. and sit through a 17 hr flight. drank my sorrows away and off i went!

 

Dinner from Singapore to Los Angeles was really nice, which took my mind off the turbulent weather ( I get motion sick when there's too much shaking involved) oh and alot of the pictures are a little blur because the plane got really shaky!

Dinner began with Chicken and Lamb Satay, with a spicy peanut sauce and onion and cucumber. The meat was chunky, tender, and juicy, so it was a good starter with the fragrant peanut sauce wafting through the cabin.

Next was a salad of steamed Prawn with rocket ash goat cheese, walnuts and fresh strawberries, drizzled with a deep-pinkish strawberry sauce. The strawberries were soft, ripe and sweet, moistening the dryness of the crumbly textured cheese that was smooth, and very pungent, whilst the more subtle flavour of the prawn and the slightly bitter salad leaves had a lighter, more clean and refreshing taste.

The main course was Tori Miso Yaki, Japanese style free-range chicken with miso paste, swet potato and pumpkin, and flavoured steam rice that was slightly sticky. The dotted ball at the bottom was a konjac jelly ball, that was like konnyaku jelly that was salty, and was very bouncy. The mushroom gushed with soup when chewed and was sweet, with a tinge of herbs.

Lastly, dessert consisted of a cold mango sorbet covered in a mixed berry compote that was thick and sweet, accompanied by a caramel web coated with black and white sesame seeds. It was so yummy i had to take another photo of it.

For nibbles while i continued watching my movies, was a variety of Payson breton brie (bottom), delice des bois ( the one with two purple layers that tasted like grape/berry), and stokes point smoked cheddar (top right), served with fig paste (the purple jelly), grapes, walnuts and crackers. The cheeses were really tasty and I love brie and smoked cheddar. Brie for its softness, sweetness and smoothness, and brie for its dry and salty hardness. The creamy cheese was stronger but fluffy, and the sour berry flavour contrasted the thickness it had.

Thus concludes a really nice meal, with really pampering service. and OH really nice tea. TWG paris singapore tea. tastes like green asian tea with a floral accent of blossoms and petals and lychee.
