PETALING JAYA, Aug 4 (Bernama) -- Hot meal boxes, currently offered on selected Malaysia Airlines (MAS) flights, are likely bring in RM50 million additional revenue annually, managing director and chief executive officer Datuk Seri Idris Jala said Monday.
Hot meal boxes are currently offered on selected flights from Kuala Lumpur to Penang, Kuching, Miri and Kota Kinabalu.
The boxes are also available on ASEAN flights between Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok, Yangon, Ho Chi Minh City, Phnom Penh, Jogjakarta, Phuket, Bandar Seri Begawan, Denpasar, Hanoi, Jakarta, Manila, Siem Reap, Surabaya and Singapore.
At a media briefing here Monday, Idris said the national carrier was introducing the meal boxes in response to customer preferences while optimising aircraft utilisation in line with MAS' business transformation plan.
"Many full-service carriers in the region like Thai Airways and Garuda as well as European carriers such as Lufthansa and KLM are already offering meal boxes, especially in their short to medium haul flights. Consequently, we decided to test this out," he said.
"This hybrid approach will see the return of all-time favourites such as nasi lemak and nasi goreng kampung as well as the introduction of new varieties. In addition, we have more menu options available and customers can now choose between an Asian or Western meal," he added.
A total of 37 menus are on offer over an eight-week cycle rotation to ensure that frequent travellers are able to enjoy a variety of meals.
New offerings include nasi impit with lontong, black pepper chicken balls with spaghetti and waffles with fruit fillings.
A permanent feature of the menu is the option of Western meals. Passengers will continue to enjoy unlimited in-flight beverages such as coffee, tea and fruit juices.
New children food and special meals, including vegetarian, are also progressively being developed and will be introduced by the end of this quarter.
"We are currently conducting a one month in-flight survey until Aug 15 and we will use the findings to continuously refine our meal offerings," Idris said.

i've tried their HOT MEAL BOX already when I travelled to KUCHING for working purpose last few week...I took 8.15am flight there and they gave me 2 choices of meat box.1 is Nasi Himpit and 1 is Waffle with Fruits Filings!I choosen Waffle with fruit filings...The waffle is hot but i dun really like the fruit filings cos its PINEAPPPLE jam filing with real pineapple inside..(no good)...my collegue took the nasi himpit with some satay gravy and a lil chicken bites inside and he said not nice although its hot cos the gravy dried up already...before u leave the plane they gave us a form to comment on the food and we just commented it...
When we come back from Kuching to KL,we took afternoon flight and they serve us either Chicken Curry rice or Fish rice...i choosen chicken curry rice and i think its good but i saw the passenger beside me ate the fish rice and i think not that good cos looks very dry with no gravy in it...
