STOP IT!
The satay is fabulous, but the thing that always sticks in my mind is that soup - both times it was on my flights I had seconds it was so good. And I didn't get my ears boxed for asking, either.
Who cares if they're in the red? As long as their government continues to prop them up I'm happy to fly them.

Here is what we were served:
MH202 KUL JNB CPT EZE
Malaysian Satay
Our famous charcoal grilled chicken and beef skewers topped with spicy peanut sauce
or
Hors D'Oeuvre Deluxe of Marinated Prawn Tails
***
Soup
Creamy Tomato and Pepper Soup with Diced Vegetables and Cheese Crouton
***
Seasonal Salad
***
Choice of Main Courses
Pan Fried Chilean Salmon Fillet with Lemon Thyme Sauce
or
Grilled Supreme of Chicken
or
Lamb Masala Curry
or
Beef and Ricotta Ravioli with Cheese Sauce
***
International Cheese Plate
***
Dulce de Leche Cake
or
Ice Cream
with coffee and chocolate truffle
At average fares lower than those of KLM, I believe that latter can learn a thing or two about properly feeding its passengers.
