flying today from well lax los angeles and then we're flying to dubai and then on to bangkok but we've been in the us for already it's been almost four or five months that we've been in the united states so it's going to be good to get home and also we'll be spending some time in dubai on this trip as well check in on all the different checks and regulations everything went smoothly but happy to be here and i'm hungry [Music] hey how are you man thank you thank you all right [Music] lunch station kind of a mix of both mexican they had some rolled tacos as well as indian middle eastern here's a combination i got lamb chop chicken tinga which is a mexican tomato chicken stew and then vegetable korma [Music] the rice is nice and fluffy that tinga got some vegetables shredded chicken tomato oh that chicken is good though really nice and tomatoey and then finally the lamb chop [Music] oh yeah the rosemary on there nice and salty and bite-sized [Music] oh yeah first lamb chop of the trip delicious then i got a spinach salad um there's some nuts there's some beets there's some cheese and what are these is it persimmon or is it um i'm not sure what that tomato oh i thought there was dressing on here i guess there's no dressing but anyway let's taste it first what is that fruit oh you know what okay look i think it's a yellow beet has the texture and the flavor of a beet but it's yellow but it tastes like a beet [Music] i'll take it thank you it's good just a little bit could bump up emirates could bump up that that spice level [Music] [Music] moving back over here to the sofa seating coffee also i picked up a little plate of grapes cheeses and the fig is what i really wanted yeah i love figs this one is more not too sweet but still sour and then i'm not totally sure what herb this is i thought it was rosemary but no it's not exactly rosemary wow oh that's amazing i'm not totally sure what it is it is it does taste like rosemary but much stronger your mouth just immediately becomes overwhelmed with a floral-ness pepper some artichoke some cheese there we go put this on top of them [Music] oh i loved preserved peppers okay and on that bite we have about 50 minutes until we need to head to the gate until we need to start boarding oh yeah yeah exactly 12 hour difference los angeles dubai let's head to the gate [Music] it looks like a micah doesn't it look like a whale hello hello good afternoon spiderman yes 11 and 12. 11. hello good afternoon emirates so i've flown with emirates at least like maybe a dozen times uh but this will be my first flight on emirates business class and again it's such an honor to be able to have this chance this opportunity but look at this look at this seat there's a whole mini bar station just for your your seat and again this is the a380 the airbus a380 which is a double decker so we we're on the top level [Music] entire bathroom toiletry set oh even deodorant oh sure thank you very much the wine list and the menu and so our flight takes off at 3 35 pm here in los angeles so probably after an oh hello thank you thank you very much enjoy it oh yeah that's really good fresh orange juice flight leaves at 3 35 pm in los angeles uh so we'll probably fly for a couple of hours and then get our first meal literally almost exactly halfway around the world and one flight straight shot 15 and a half hours will be in dubai [Music] i was wondering the route that we'll be taking if we'll be flying east or west looks like we will be flying sort of east across the united states but kind of north at the same time northern easterly route up and over and the nuts are served warm and by the way these headphones are nice comfortable welcome we'll be right back thank you very much the appetizer is served i got the mezze plate comes with a salad and also a variety of different mize typical mezza there's hummus there's the grape leaves there's baba ghanoush one of my favorites some arabic bread oh man i love how chunky that uh with some peppers in it with the roasted eggplant with some herbs in there oh wow i love papa ganoush oh man the smokey eggplant it's served cool it's refreshing oh it's wonderful this is called muhammad roasted peppers or roasted tomatoes in there oh look how smooth that hummus is [Music] oh yeah [Music] oh wow i mean i just love mitzvah i've always loved grape vine leaves stuffed grapefruit the rice in there is just so perfectly like gooey and saucy cheers okay let's move on to the salad [Music] i'm a big fan of the baba ganoush that was a delicious appetizer and main course next thank you this is the main dish the prawn much boos the aroma of those prawns and the pine nuts in there man you just see how the basmati rice every individual grain is just coated in spice equally and evenly and perfectly it's so fragrant it's so aromatic i hope it's appropriate i gotta pick that up with my fingers just to show you that scale the size oh man and it's curled up right now imagine if it was laying flat wow all the tenderness of that prawn it just kind of melts in your mouth it's got that spice light spice blend you taste a little bit of tomatoeyness the i love that uh sprinkle of coriander on top the pine nuts which you can tell are roasted i can safely say that's the biggest prawn i've ever eaten in the sky whoa that's not even a one biter that's a two biter the flavor of the prawn has just that juice that broth must be the broth that the rice is cooked in is made from that shrimp and maybe not just the shrimp but maybe the shrimp shell because again like that rice is just a condensed flavor of shrimp and it's [Music] it's not heavy on the spices you do taste the spices the turmeric the cumin the coriander the probably a little bit of cardamom but they're not strong they're not pungent it's milder thank you and then for dessert there were i think three or four different dessert options uh but i always get the fruit oh man now that is a sweet strawberry for me fruit after a meal it's the best of all desserts i might watch a movie might take a little nap and then definitely when i wake up we will be heading to the back to the bar to have the next snack [Music] the bar at the back of the plane come here what's your name [Music] nice [Music] that was the best thing [Music] thank you very much thank you very much well done this is the the perfect bedtime cocktail coffee and a bunch of things and some coffee beans on top oh yeah oh it's wonderful espresso comes through follow the coffee flavor it's not it's actually like really refreshing and cool and foamy youtube yup i think i've seen you you're from china yeah i live in thailand i live in thailand oh this is really nice let's say this is my first time to ever be standing
