There are multiple reasons that Singapore Airlines has been voted as the best airline in the world. Singapore’s flagship airline is known for delivering top-class service onboard, and providing leisurely seats, regardless of which class you sit in. The airline, which operates out of the equally impressive Changi International Airport, also boasts food that you would be pained to find in the finest restaurant.
It has been well documented that tastebuds change when 30,000 feet in the air, as well as the quality of food. Pasta doesn’t taste quite right once it’s been warmed up, does it? Yet, Singapore Airlines prides itself on serving Michelin star-worthy food aboard its aircrafts. Passengers in Business and First Class suites have far more to choose from than chicken or fish.
A 13-hour flight will find guests enjoying canapés, an appetiser, main course, and dessert from a menu that has been overseen by global food and beverage director, Antony McNeil, in collaboration chefs that have earned their stripes like Georges Blanc who has three Michelin stars to his name.
The menu is changed tri-monthly and features delicacies like chicken satay skewers with such a secret recipe that it is specially prepared in Singapore and then shipped with dry ice. Other dishes include caviar-topped blinis, beef cheek aspic, jumbo-sized prawns, baked halibut, chicken biryani, berry cheesecake, and coffee and cardamom millefeuille.
