For this short hop, passengers are offered an early lunch service shortly after the aircraft passes 10,000 feet.

Once again, I opted for the Oriental Fish selection—a tried-and-true favourite on Vietnam Airlines. Today’s meal featured a beautifully presented casserole of fried rice with peas and carrots, paired with a delicious seafood medley of fish and prawns. The dish was complemented by tender eggplant, all generously coated in a thick, savoury sauce.

Have I ever mentioned how perfectly the sauce pairs with the rice?!

The meals on Vietnam Airlines have been consistently excellent.

The meal tray also included a fresh garden salad with assorted greens, a fruit bowl for dessert, and a selection of breads with butter and jam. To accompany the meal, passengers could choose from a variety of beverages, including soft drinks, fruit juices, or alcohol.

Additional Beverage Services

Before takeoff, as the crew prepared the aircraft for our two-hour journey to Singapore, Business Class passengers were offered a traditional pre-flight drink. The options included alcohol or a honey-based concoction. Not being a fan of alcohol, I opted for the latter—and it turned out to be an exquisite choice, setting the perfect tone for the flight.

A Perfect Ending

To round off the excellent meal service, the crew offered a coffee and tea service. As I settled in to unwind before our approach into Singapore’s Changi Airport, I gladly accepted a hot beverage. There’s truly no better way to enjoy the view at 40,000 feet than with a warm drink in hand, letting your thoughts drift along with the passing clouds.
