Food on China Southern Flights

TL;DR - Fantastic. 😍👅

Over these past two flights, I've had four meals. Three were amazing. Here's the breakdown.

Auckland to Guangzhou:

Dinner: pork and rice with beans. Walnut salad with basil/mint pesto sauce. Bun and butter.

Dessert: Kapiti Icecream

Breakfast: pork bun and fruit and yoghurt and croissant

Guangzhou to Heathrow:

Breakfast: there were two options. I heard egg and said no. I chose the dim sum. Bad move. But I chose it because I'd never had it. Bad idea to eat new food on the plane when you're in the window seat and the lovely Chinese couple beside me are enjoying their meal... So cannot get up and powerchuck in the bathroom..

Selection of Dim sum, fruit, yoghurt, cinnamon pastry

Disclaimer: as I'd never eaten dim sum, I watched my seat neighbours and took note of their actions and made sure I was eating it right. I ate bits and pieces from each bit and couldn't stomach the one in the brown package. The smell was overpowering and the taste - I was expecting something yum like the pork from the night before.

The yoghurt and fruit was delightful though. Have never tried that white fruit with the seeds in. I am sure I've seen it online too. Was like a white kiwifruit and less tangy.

Dinner:

Two options - I heard chicken and potatoes. I was starving after the kai earlier today. So went for the easiest option. Turns out the other option was the pork from the night before. Gutted.

But the roast chicken, broccoli and potatoes was yum as.

The bun was fresh and the fruit (orange section, four cherry tomatoes) was just what I wanted. Wasn't a fan of the potato salad? Tried it. Ate the lettuce instead.

Overall - really good.

Pro tip:
Listen to the airhosts with the options and ask for more specific info about the options.

Possibly could get a printed version of the menu too like my neighbour had.
