Chicken curry. I believe same options, curry and sandwich, were on both flighs.

Chicken sandwich. Crews were great on both short hops, offering drink refills until the last moment.

Chef On Call supper served an hour after takeoff: Tandoori chicken. Tasteless and dry. Disappointing

Midnight snack: Chicken and prawn soup noodles. Comforting

Breakfast served 3 hours before landing: Nasi Lemak. Delicious as always

For Chef on Call, I would recommend the Balinese chicken as a better alternative if you still like to stick to local flavours. It was tart and refreshing.

That's my go to dish if I don't fancy anything on the menu. It's pretty good. Never order non-local stuff from the CoC menu. I made a mistake of ordering the pearl spelt risotto and it was awful.

CGK KUL catering was again very meh, with mostly cheapish local options. The fish was dry and well oversalted. No competition for the 9 daily CGK SIN by SQ, but better than what Garuda is serving on those routes.

wow MH even serves a hot meal on SIN-KUL?
Thats impressive
such a short flight.

I flew KUL AKL on the new A339 and while the hard product is excellent (I found it better than the suite with door on the QR 787-9 I had recently flown), that is where to good news ends as the inflight service offerings were disappointing at best:

Although the departure time was 9pm, there was no dinner service but rather an uninspiring shortened supper:

Sate - turned out to be the highlight of the supper

Tuna starter - acceptable but nothing special

https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...ec356fe18.jpeg
Inedible greasy main course

Meanwhile, that sugar bomb sitting there wrapped in plastic was supposedly the dessert. I didn't touch it, and I noticed some other sent it back unopened as well.

About seven hours later, it was breakfast time, and yet another uninspiring meal came out of the galley:

All in all a very underwhelming experience.

The inflight entertainment, meanwhile, is also not much to talk about in comparison with the competition.

While MH has a great product with its new A339, many other aspects of what is supposedly the airline's premium experience leave a lot to be desired.

I noticed the menu now includes Illy coffee. Is this real coffee beans or instant coffee? I'm not expecting espresso drinks on MH. Just standard drip coffee is the bare minimum for Business class, in my view. It's absolutely insulting that MH serves instant coffee in Business class. Can someone please confirm the type of Illy coffee served?

There is no difference between lunch/dinner and supper AFAIK. Both services get satay, one default appetizer, three main course choices, and one default dessert.

Hello, please can you help me. I will be flying in J from Kuala Lumpur to Penang in a few weeks and I would love to know if possible what I can expect in terms of food etc on the flight. Many thanks

Snack at best. Used to be maybe a few sticks of satay decades ago. It's only 201 miles and just over 1/2 hr in the air.

It'll be very similar to the other short-haul meals reported above.

No need to look that far back. Satay still makes an appearance every now and then.

Would be very happy with satay on a 45 mins flight!

Its very different to that served on medium//long haul routes

What's the latest on Satay service in J on shorter routes such as KUL-HKG/TPE/MNL etc? Curious if that is still a service that is provided these days.
