Asiana Flight #221
Depart JFK 1:00 PM
Arrive ICN 4:30 PM
Western Menu (lunch):
Korean Menu (lunch):
Pre-arrival Snack:
Asiana Bar:
Melon, Parma Ham, and Marinated Shrimp:
Poached Lobster & Salmon Gravlax:
Lentil Soup:
The soup was fine, but didn't come close to resembling any lentil soup I had ever tried. Also, Asiana's habit of serving soup tepid is disappointing.
Grilled Chicken Breast, Potato, Vegetables w/ Chicken Jus:
Fruit & Cheese Plate:
Raspberry Cake:
Ham, Cheese, and Pickles on a Croissant (mid-flight snack -- sorry for the poor quality pic):
Marinated Shrimp and Prosciutto:
Grilled Shrimp and Scallops:
Beef Brochette:
Fruit Tart:
I observed three general weaknesses in OZ food when I flew them last November:
1. Soup served tepid
2. Uninspired desserts
3. Small (though high quality) portion sizes
Number 1 is still an issue. The last two have improved greatly.
Food pics from my remaining three flights will be forthcoming later.

Underneath the salad was some kind of weird, unappetizing dressing. I left it alone.

Thanks for posting the pictures, everyone! I can't help but wonder, why is the Korean food so uninspiring/undifferentiated from Y?
The few times I've flown OZ in C, I always ordered the Western choice and was quite happy. In Y, I usually go with the Korean option, especially the Ssambab. For Y, I'm quite happy with the Korean, even though I wish they'd change the menu from time to time (I've had the same food for the respective route every flight for the past 4 years). But while it's more than adequate for Y, I'm surprised that they serve almost the exact same dish in C. It seems they spruce up the soup a little, add a vegetable or two and an extra side dish, but that's it. The difference for Western food between Y and C, on the other hand, is night and day.

I was just on LAX-ICN, I didn't take any pictures of the meal because I don't think it has changed much. Western choice was steak, fish and something else. Korean choice was ssambap. Wine selection seemed decent. The one thing I really enjoyed was the snack, made upon request. The croissant sandwich was quite delicious.
