I'm very surprised, because Indian dishes tend to fare pretty well on the air... but this was rather bland. I love Indian food, and this does not in any way compare to that provided by Singapore Airlines or the likes, let alone that on the ground... and that's me saying as a CX supporter.

This was on CX405, the dinner flight from TPE.
That indeed looks terrible, clubeurope! It's not even real naan, it's some kind of low-quality pita bread masquerading as naan. And why does the main dish have to be plated so messily? Can't they establish a neat border between the curries and the rice? (Even Air India manages to do that in domestic economy!) Better yet, why not get rid of the ramekin/dog-bowl and serve the main dish on a plate, like a civilized airline...
