AirAsia is betting that not only are their in-flight meals so good you'll book a ticket just to try them -- they also think you'll be happy to eat them when you're on land as well.
On offer both on land and in the sky are classic Malaysian foods such as nasi lemak, satay skewers and beef rendang. There's also favorites from around Southeast Asia like Chinese-Malaysian style chicken rice, chicken inasal from the Philippines and Vietnamese pho.Menu options were chosen to highlight countries that the airline connects, and the ingredients -- from coffee and tea to spices and produce -- were sourced from throughout the region.
"We are very proud to extend what started out as an in-flight menu into new markets and reiterate our support for local and producers, suppliers; apart from creating new job opportunities with affordable franchising," Catherine Goh, the restaurant's general manager, said in a news release.AirAsia is headquartered in Kuala Lumpur, but the company is setting its sights beyond Malaysia's borders.
Meanwhile, diners in Kuala Lumpur have the option of checking out the restaurant in person or ordering delivery online.
