I am planning char siu (half fat, never lean) to try. I suggested a friend try a chicken shawarma wrap but warned them the pita might become hard. Waiting for them to come back to advise.

And yes, ziplock bags are your friend.
For these , it helps to be flying SIA business or F / Suites .. crew will help “ steam “ .. cheong fun is too messy to bring on unless I happen to have an extra & new take away box

As for others - not sure about other airlines .. like not on some EK , some crew get it but others do not ..
