PAL food and the new 777-300 aircraft

chicken tocino
I may be the only one but I just love the food of Philippine Airlines. I don’t think it’s only because I was in business class. Although that does tip the scales a bit. The food they serve has improved tremendously over the past few years.

All these pictures were taken with my iPhone.

Instead of plain old yogurt they served bircher muesli which is my favorite. I liked the addition of tart mango puree, melon cubes and dates in the muesli.

The chicken tocino was very tender and not too sweet like commercial pork tocino. It tasted homemade and all natural. Even the eggs were creamy and soft.

December is the best time to use your mileage because that’s when ticket prices are the highest. With PAL a business class ticket uses up only 25,000 points. I’m glad I was able to ride PAL’s new aircraft the 777-300ER.

The seats are by Recaro and are firm but comfortable.

The seat lay-out is 2-3-2.

I liked the seat controls that take you from dining position to a flat sleeping position with one touch. The only problem is when the aisle seat is stretched flat the person sitting at the window seat will have a hard time hopping out to go to the rest room.

I’m happy to report that there are 110v power outlets and usb hubs on each seat. It’s located below the center divider between the two seats. I had to ask the flight attendant where it was and she had to look for it. I guess not many people use it since the plane is used mostly for short flights.
