Beginning this month, Malaysia Airlines (MAS) passengers travelling on Economy Class to domestic and selected Asean countries will be able to enjoy satay, typically served only in Business and First Class cabins.

Packaged in a meal box, passengers will enjoy a choice of beef or chicken satay skewers and peanut sauce, served with kampong fried rice and accompanied by creme brulee and premium chocolate.

"Malaysia Airlines is proud to be able to bring a taste of Malaysia to the world through our signature satay dish, which has been recognised to be world-class," said its Inflight Services General Manager Hayati Ali in a statement here Monday.

She said satay, the national carrier's award winning signature dish, will be served on domestic flights from Kuala Lumpur to Kuching, Miri and Kota Kinabalu and also on selected Asean flights out of Kuala Lumpur throughout this month.

In addition, Hayati said, passengers also will be thrilled to know that sweet treats such as premium chocolate or ice cream will also be handed out as giveaways during the school holidays from March 14 to 22.

"We are continuously innovating all aspects of our services and products in our transformation journey to be a Five-Star Value Carrier in line with our commitment to delivering the highest quality at affordable prices," she said.
