Mojo Chicken Bowl

AS 1121 SAN-PDX
1/1/25

Got upgraded around T-2 so no time to pre-order the Tillamook Cheeseburger but can't complain too much since an upgrade on an -800 is pretty rare these days. Of course the only thing they had left by the time they got to me in 3C was the chicken bowl which sounded ok so I figured I would at least try it--never again. I tried to eat the chicken but it was drenched in a brown sauce with such an overpowering flavor (not necessarily spicey which I usually like--just not good) that I couldn't eat another bite. Since there was no salad or roll to supplement the meal (probably not long enough of a flight) I went ahead and ate some of the rice which actually was light, fluffy, and delicious. It probably didn't help that my seat mate had preordered the Tillamook Cheeseburger and chips which looked great as always. Positive side note: I tried another new-to-me meal option on PDX-SFO that I flew on 12/30 and it was AMAZING--the Mediterranean Chicken Salad--would definitely order that again in a heart beat.
