SIN: Scoot [Economy, International, Medium-Haul]

A refreshing change of menu?

There was a time when I wanted to write a review on quite a few meals served by Scoot, a low-cost subsidiary airline of Singapore Airlines. Unfortunately, I'd forgotten my intention all along until Scoot revamped its menu, which has rendered some of the things I tried obsolete. Well, for our outbound flight to HK, I ordered the Premium Selection meal, while my BFF ordered something from a variety of hot meals.


TZ Meal #1 S$21.99

Plain Salad - Taste: 6/10

The vegetables, along with a cherry tomato, were served sans dressing. Well, at least they weren't stale.

Hong Kong Style Noodles with Prawn - Taste: 6/10

I was pretty much disappointed with the most expensive meal served on the SIN-HKG-SIN sector. While the taste wasn't that bad, thanks to the oyster sauce used to stir-fry the egg noodles, some of the strands were dry. Not only that, the prawns weren't succulent either.

Häagen-Dazs Chocolate Ice Cream

The saving grace for the flight was the ice-cold, creamy chocolate ice cream for dessert. I wonder if they brought any other flavours onboard?




TZ Meal #2 S$17.00

Beef Bourguignon Pasta Stew - Taste: 7/10

One of the Western meals featured screwdriver-shaped pasta, beef, potatoes and carrots braised in beef stock. The gravy could be slightly thicker, but I enjoyed the tender beef chunks. Yes, it was better than the premium meal above.

Pringles (Original)

Scoot has always served Pringles that are made in the USA. No offense, but I don't like the original flavour made in Thailand.

Beverage

A can of Coca-Cola was given by default. Pika's advice: In the menu booklet, it says "meals come with a Coke / Heaven & Earth Green Tea". Ask for the latter if you prefer that.

Melon's Rating
Taste: 6/10
Ambience: 6.5/10
Service: 6/10
Overall: 6/10

I know I've only tried two items from the newly revamped menu, but honestly speaking, I feel that the previous meals were better. Perhaps I shall compile the pictures of the latter and post them on my blog one day.

SIN: Yoshinoya

Trying it again in Singapore after years! Yoshinoya is the second largest chain of gyudon (lit. beef bowl) restaurants in Japan. Although its first shop opened in Tokyo, the name of the chain actually pays homage to the former town of Yoshino in Osaka Prefecture where its founder hailed from. After years of giving Yoshinoya in Singapore a miss, I recently found myself revisiting one of its branches at Bugis Junction.

Pancake x  soufflé originated from Tokyo! Hailing from Japan, Flipper's is a chain café renowned for its fluffy, jiggly soufflé pancakes. While I've never had the chance to try the pancakes in its country of origin, I was excited to finally experience them at the Westgate branch here in Singapore, which has been drawing long lines of eager patrons.

Are you a fan of their rich specialty sauce? Entrecôte  is a French term that refers to a premium boneless cut of beef from the rib area, which is typically used for steaks and roasts.
