As I promised, I will post some pictures from my Korean trip. Our trip started by taking an airplane, of course the important part of a long (about 14 hours) airplane ride is the MEAL, and to be honest, the airplane meals are kind of disappointing compared to previous experience. Maybe my body condition wasn’t that good? Maybe I was too excited to try food in Korea and lost my appetite? I don’t know … hehe … But anyway, I will share pictures with you. Their service is nice, very kind, and they feed you many times with meals and snacks, so you will be stuffed – if you eat it. Sounds good? ๐ I was taking some pictures to share with you in the airplane, while stewardesses were busy to serve the meal, one stewardess saw me taking pictures, and smiled at me and made a comment about it. My husband told me she thought I was cute. I hope that’s true, and not because she thinks I’m crazy. hehe Anyway, here are pictures for you~~~
Over all, the kimbap was my favorite airplane meal this time. The shape of the kimbap was Korean style but the taste was not authentic Korean since the rice had a vinegar flavor. It was still okay. My husband doesn’t eat kimbap, so we traded food with each other. I gave him my chocolate bar (I don’t like chocolate much … hehe,) and he gave me his kimbap. It was a good deal. ๐ The meal had smoked salmon, chicken, and some pickled vegetables like garlic, snow peas, etc.
This meal had fried beef & broccoli with rice, morning roll, salad with Italian dressing, fried chicken with vegetables, and a brownie-type dessert. Hmm… the salad and the shittake mushrooms in the fried beef were good, and the others I will leave to your imagination… hehe ๐
Japanese style fried noodles, fresh fruits, and crescent roll. The noodles reminded me a little of black bean noodles, except they had a ginger flavor in them. The fruit was fresh and I enjoyed eating the bread.
I hope you enjoyed these pictures. There are more to come… Thank you.
hi aeri! nice pictures…have you try flying with KOREAN AIR? i miss miss misssssss KOREAN AIR plane meals! its the best plane meal ever. the flight attentand are very friendly and efficient too..
Hi, Donna
Oh~~~ I want to try Korean Air someday. It’s more expensive than NWA, so we usually use NWA or Delta. Oh..their meals are that good ? My husband will want to try their BIBIMBAP. hehe..:) Maybe someday, if we can afford the money~~~;)
WOW! PHOTOS!! Thanks for showing to us Unni…All these which i am waiting for!! I am waiting more unni!! POST MORE!! ^^
Hi, ChuiYew
Okay.. more to come ~~~~ I’m going to post pictures that are not related with food in forum later. Check it out sometimes..hehe ๐
everytime i take a trip, i pack my own food because the meals are so crappy and unappetizing. my last plane meal consisted of lemon-pepper tuna (in a can) with bagel chips and a strip of cheese.
these pics gave me ideas on what to pack on the plane when my family leaves in april. everyone will be soooo jealous~ !! ๐
we’ll chat soon~ loveloveloveyou!
Hi, farleen
haha.. pack your own food?? oh… I’m sure that everyone will envy you and your family.. hehe.. Love you ~~~~
one more thing – that lemon pepper tuna in a can cost me $5 bucks! in what a waste of money. (i flew Northwest Airlines, in case you were wondering) i was in a rush to catch my plane and didn’t have anytime to pack something to eat. i was so mad. consider it lesson learned! haha ๐
Hi, farleen
Maybe, I should bring my kimchi for plane meal.. oops..they will kick me out in the sky because of the strong smell of kimchi ?? hehe… lemon pepper tuna..never tried it before.. yes.. sounds a little over price ~~~
Hi Aeri! I’m glad to have you back! I can’t tell which meal was for breakfast, lunch or dinner?

Hello Aeri, how are you? wow you went to visit South Korea 2 years ago? cool!
