Review of Pak Nasser's Plant-based Nasi Lemak - Santan (AirAsia) by dafnelately

Looks like I once again accidentally ordered #airplanefood 🙈 Just after having breakfast at Four Fingers too! https://www.abillion.com/restaurants/kuching-4-fingers-crispy-chicken-11378086 🐣 Luckily this is a #nasilemak I’m very keen on 😋 So keen in fact I had @m1tch9i order one for me on her flight so I could try it at home!

Okay, okay ✋ The rice is definitely not very #lemak but it’s at least a very nice & fluffy #purplerice — as far as #airlinefood goes I suppose.

The #curry is nice and at least sports a variety of vegetables, eggplant 🍆, french beans 🫛, and potatoes 🥔 namely but also some “plant-based protein” per their ingredients that tasted like a #veganchicken of sorts. Appearance-wise it’s very convincing and sort of ruins the optics to other passengers that you’re not actually eating dead animals! 🫢

Then there’s these oddball #soycurls standing in place of #anchovies 🐟 Where have you been all my life? Where I can I get some for my #vpantry?? Please Santan (AirAsia) we need to know! 🙇‍♀️ It’s a pretty full meal I’d say 😋 460kcal at that though the breakdown of contents would indicate something closer to 370kcal instead* 🧐 I’d absolutely recommend it though if you need a meal on the plane so you can just get going when you land 👍 I’d suggest you pre-book it though because we can’t take vegan meals for granted in Malaysia 😬 *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.
