I can't recall seeing many photos of food from KE J around here, so here's a few from ICN --> LAX taken in April (2015), on KE 017. This was what they previously called "Dinner," but now call "Meal" (as opposed to "Light Meal.") It was the first meal served on that flight; I forgot to photograph breakfast (which was the second meal).




The bread under the shrimp was soggy and cold. But I comforted myself with wine.


This salad was good and I enjoyed it.








I ordered medium, but the steak was definitely well done, and not quite tender.



Regarding the breakfast, I ordered the Korean-style breakfast, and if I recall correctly, I was expecting something completely different than what I received. I didn't take pictures of the menus, so I unfortunately I can't recall precisely what they offered, but it was a clear, refined seafood soup, which I think they billed as some kind of haemul doenjang jjigae (해물된장찌개) or soup. It wasn't bad, but nothing to get excited about, either, just like the rest of the food.

Sometimes it is jeonbuk (abalone) rice porridge for breakfast as well.

+1 for the Bibimbap.

Warm bowl, white rice and hot vegetables with a red hot sauce. Hit the spot.

A cold beer, but all they serve on KE is swill.

Jesus God, if Korean Air served soju. I can't even begin to imagine the scandals.

They should at least offer Andong soju or Hwajjo as a premium Korean drink offering
