Yay~~~I’m flying to HKG!! – Visiting my family for Christmas!!! A couple of days ago, I flew Asiana for a 13 hour flight to Seoul, and then another 4.5 hours to arrive in Hong Kong. It was a lengthy journey, but totally worth it, especially for the airplane food and those pretty flight attendants…..
Dinner is served – First course, shrimp salad…..
Bibimbap with the basic ingredients, beef and vegetables…..
The two banchan – kimchee and dried anchovies…..
First step, mix the red sauce with the beef and vegetables…..
Then add steamed rice into the mix…..
Stir and mix them well, sesame oil is also added…..
Small fruit plate after the main course…..
Caramelized walnut and Korean candies, this concludes the dinner segment.
With approximately two hours left in the flight, breakfast was served. Fruit plate and yogurt…..
A fairly good size croissant…..
Ham & cheese omelette, sausage, hash brown, grilled tomato and spinach…..
Touch down at Incheon Airport, it was around 7am, what a sunny morning…..
Transit to another plane bound for Hong Kong, which was furnished with the older business class seats and entertainment system…..
The menu, I picked the Western cuisine…..
Black Forest ham with mixed greens…..
Good variety of bread to choose from…..
Trio of cheese dish, Mimolette, Blue, Vieux Pane…..
The entire journey flew by so quickly and did not feel I had spent 17 hours on the plane. Overall, it was an enjoyable flight and I had slept for about 6 hours continuously during the first leg. I can’t wait to devour all the yummy food waiting for me in Hong Kong!

Wow the food looks amazing! <3 Merry Christmas! I wish I was in HK right now to see all those cute Christmas decorations x)
I love Asiana and Incheon is a fantastic place to transit.
Booo…. where are the pictures of the pretty flight attendants?
I hope you have a great time in HKG with your parents. I know you cherish this time a lot. Be sure to take lots of pictures for us (especially of the Xanga meet up).
Looking at your flight pictures makes me long to fly home or to Dubai or to some other far off place again.
Gary have a wonderful time with your family, and I wish you a very happy new year. Blessings to you my friend.
@Got_Takoyaki - Merry Christmas! I love to watch the lighting decorations too!

@ZSA_MD - Thank you, Zakiah! I’m very glad to be home seeing my folks again. My warmest holiday wishes to you and your family!!
wow..you even dine in style on a plane
Never thought airplane food could look this good. Well I’ve never flew in one of those bigtime airlines (always the budget carriers) hehe Oh and btw, pretty sure you’ll meet up with Nick, Rudy and rest. Please say my hello to all of them
oh I love their Chinaware….:p
@happyobligations - hehe…I’m such a spoiled brat, now that going back to the Economy cabin is like torture in high altitude! lol
@oxyGENE_08 - Sure, I’ll send them your warmest regards! It would be nice if you can join us. I guess there’ll probably be another round of meetup not too far down the road.
@agmhkg - Me too! I was very tempted to save one plate as my souvenir. All I need is a magic trick to make a plate disappear in mid-flight
One of my favorite airlines!
Merry Christmas Gary.
@CareyGLY - Merry Christmas, Carey!
@CurryPuffy – Thanks & yes, pretty sure there are next times Anyway since we’re sharing the same timezone: Merry Christmas!
