Review of Pak Nasser's Plant-based Nasi Lemak - Santan (AirAsia) by dafnelately
Looks like I once again accidentally ordered #airplanefood đ Just after having breakfast at Four Fingers too! https://www.abillion.com/restaurants/kuching-4-fingers-crispy-chicken-11378086 đŁ Luckily this is a #nasilemak Iâm very keen on đ So keen in fact I had @m1tch9i order one for me on her flight so I could try it at home!
Okay, okay â The rice is definitely not very #lemak but itâs at least a very nice & fluffy #purplerice â as far as #airlinefood goes I suppose.
The #curry is nice and at least sports a variety of vegetables, eggplant đ, french beans đ«, and potatoes đ„ namely but also some âplant-based proteinâ per their ingredients that tasted like a #veganchicken of sorts. Appearance-wise itâs very convincing and sort of ruins the optics to other passengers that youâre not actually eating dead animals! đ«ą
Then thereâs these oddball #soycurls standing in place of #anchovies đ Where have you been all my life? Where I can I get some for my #vpantry?? Please Santan (AirAsia) we need to know! đââïž
Itâs a pretty full meal Iâd say đ 460kcal at that though the breakdown of contents would indicate something closer to 370kcal instead* đ§
Iâd absolutely recommend it though if you need a meal on the plane so you can just get going when you land đ Iâd suggest you pre-book it though because we canât take vegan meals for granted in Malaysia đŹ
*the nutritional facts list 11.8g of protein & 17.9g carbs which each have 4kcal per gram and 27.4g of fat which has 9kcal per gram.
