I can't remember any single lounge at mainland china that doesn't stock cup noodles. And actually for a lot lounges at smaller airports, cup noodles could be the only hot food option.
I always thought about the option to take one onboard and ask for hot water, is that allowed?

Her: can I bring congee on board?
MPO: even if security doesn't prohibit you for LAG rules, our FAs will refuse to heat it - passenger self-provided food
Her: he's just started on pasta. What if I pre-cook pasta?
MPO: then our FAs can provide you with hot water to warm it
It worked my colleague said
So if they provide hot water for that, why can't they provide hot water for adults' cup noodles?
Might even be a more elegant solution if I have to do a lunchless run to TPE ever in the future

Well I always wanted to bring
on board to enjoy it ... which I gurantee will wake everyone on flight and ask if he / she can get one
But I do think you can bring your own food. I have bring countless times sushi from Terminal 2 pass though customs, the gate and the jetway. It always taste better compare with the food in tray
well alternatively can I ask for boiling water instead ?

The inability to understand why asians/japanese/chinese want hot noodles is the same as the inability for asians to understand why europeans eat sandwiches and salads as a main meal (trad japanese breaky is grilled fish n rice).
im fine w both, but i dont see why the hostility. And those who dont want to serve cup noodles can quit their job. They cannot not want to do anything and get paid.

Yes, but then in F lounge there is so many other choices that cup noodles is just no my top priority.
I miss the old G16 lounge, they do stock up on cup noodles (cathay brand but made by nissin) and their noodle bar has like 4 options instead of the regular wanton noodle.

I'm doing my groceries at Aeon now. The wife is going "I don't like cup noodles either, but I do want something hot for the morning..."
