Hey LTN Phobia, was there any other choices on the menu? Surely the noodles wasn't the only big plate available?
serfty - I find the FAs push back when I try to get more than one plate, saying "there isn't enough to go around", or "I'll see what's leftover at the end" and then never seeing them again. I don't know if the catering is lightly loaded or if they'd prefer to keep some meals for themselves.
