Malaysia Air - Meals

[originalrocklobster 3]

Has anyone flown Malaysia Air and have any thoughts / feedback on their in-flight meals?

On other airlines recently, I sometimes order a special Gluten Free meal and it kind of worked well. It means I get my meal earlier and it has less sauce / rice etc + more Protein. I need this extra time to be able to eat for longer, however it can result in food jealousy when the normal meals look nicer

I have never flown Malaysia Air before, so I haven't tried their normal meals, or special meals. I don't need a Gluten Free meal specifically as I'm not GF, but getting a special meal worked out well, e.g. getting it early, having less rice and more protein etc, that would be good to hear. These are the options:

(e.g.

Bland Meal (BLML)
Diabetic Meal (DBML)
Gluten Intolerant Meal (GFML)
Low Calorie Meal (LCML)
Low Fat Meal (LFML)
Low Lactose Meal (NLML)
Low Salt Meal (LSML)

+ more information and options on line above.)

After any thoughts or suggestions on whether to order their normal meal or a special meal.... e.g. Gluten Free.

Thanks!

Thanks for that.

On their site, the description for Diabetic Meal (DBML) is: This meal does not have added sugars. Is that why you recommend it? Wonder what type of meals they do. I can pretty much eat anything with my sleeve, but obviously prefer a meal that has enough Protein, rather than a rice dish with hardly any meat etc.

I wonder if it would have less rice etc than the Gluten Intolerant Meal (GFML).

Have tried googling meal examples but it's not that easy.

I think I would go with the gluten intolerant meal. Rice is still gluten free, so it is no guarantee that there will be more Protein, but at least you try! Lol. Maybe try to bring some protein Snacks with you.

Just take some Protein Bars in your purse and pick what you like off the tray!
