VietJet inflight dining Jet Café hot meals selection and favourites
Our inflight meal was served and we had a taste of authentic Vietnamese cuisine, even before reaching our destination as all inflight meals are prepared in Vietnam.
VietJet inflight dining hot meals selection are five spices chicken with sticky rice, stewed beef noodles, crab and shrimp fried vermicelli noodles, BBQ grill pork skewers, Singapore noodles, spaghetti beef Bolognese, BBQ pork fried noodles and Vietnamese steamed cake with pork floss.
The succulent Roast chicken with sticky rice was a hot favourite, followed by crab and shrimp vermicelli. The stewed beef was good but the rice noodles was a little too dry. If you like spicy, the BBQ grill pork skewer is moist with lots of gravy.
Fresh coconut juice (40000VND) on VietJet air flight menu won approvals unanimously as it was perhaps the only airline that chose the healthy nutritious fruit on its permanent beverage menu.
