steamed it's quite sticky and gooey from that coconut milk oh yeah you immediately smell the fragrance of the of the coconut milk like a look at that it smells pretty good huh oh it's awesome really gooey almost to the point of pudding and then the sweetness of the ripe banana on the inside the contrast of that sweet richness must be followed by coffee to make it the perfect harmony good job thai airways on the cup of mud they do have some dishes that you can order and they'll cook for you in the back and then bring them out like stir fried chicken with basil panca pao and also thai chicken biryani i'll have kapow please okay i serve you at the sea okay thank you very much cub they serve it to you extremely hot oh yeah i could got a little bit of a basil steam bath never miss the opportunity to have one last pad before leaving thailand oh it's uh there's a few fried basil leaves on top as well i mean not the best kapow you'll ever have but it is pretty tasty oh i taste a little bit of pepper in there too yeah oh i mean it's kind of mild in flavor to cater to everyone making it a a great 5 a.m panca-pao [Applause] it's actually quite tasty i'm enjoying it fully you have to speed up just walk as fast as you can all the joys of having a four-year-old are trying to burn a little energy on the way to the gate micah you can only walk speed walking [Music] we would now like to invite passenger group number two we need to see him at this here we go thank you thank you okay here we are for c whoa whoa is that your own what is this is this your own seat cover your

minute flight to tokyo i'm not sure if they maybe they're gonna serve us breakfast uh but i'll see you for the next meal [Music] you're getting ready to serve breakfast you can choose between the international option or the japanese breakfast i got the japanese breakfast thank you very much okay thank you very much this is a straight up gourmet japanese breakfast amazing almost like kaseki style and then i also got green tea and then also this one should be the [Music] miso soup maybe start with this cold section tomato oh it's smoky oh yeah that's a great tomato next dish is some egg i think i think this is egg or tofu it's tofu actually just kind of melts in your mouth and i have flown a a a number of times before the food has always been great is it called burdock oh i love it it's a little bit of a sweet glaze on it but i love steamed fish and just the as an amazing texture slightly squeaks between your teeth and i always look forward to japanese rice i thought it was going to be eggplant oh totally surprising that's a radish very crisp very crisp almost chewy and really spooky oh that's delicious [Music] all the green onions in there [Music] so [Music] and that completes an excellent breakfast i think we have about four hours left to go on this flight uh until we land in tokyo in narita [Music] i got a good little bit of a nap in at least for an hour and then they turned on the the lights and then they took a snack order and i've been i've been waiting to try the ram and the ipod ramen which ramen is a very well known japanese ramen brand oh man this smells and looks incredible oh there's nothing i would rather eat right now than a hot bowl of ramen and this is miso ramen i think this might be my first ever bowl of ramen on an airplane oh wow paul the noodles are chewy the miso the butteriness of the broth that's superb i'm actually impressed that is extraordinarily tasty i love the corn in there making it a little bit sweet along with that cabbage and the scallions and it's perfectly rich and buttery for my taste but they even serve you a little extra butter if you so desire if you like i know i know in japan i've seen that where they give you some extra butter if you want to add it to your broth to even make it more rich and thick that is the best bowl of sky ramen [Music] foreign [Music] all went smoothly passed through security and then just through the you just submit an attestation form is that how you say and walking on the way to the next gate [Music] 55. [Music] and welcome to flight number two i think this is actually oh yeah it is the exact same airplane a boeing 787 just looking at the the time to get to l.a from narita to l.a i thought it was going to be a bit longer but it's just nine hours and eight minutes [Music] so they're getting ready to serve dinner but first a drink and some small little snacks quiche and a little salad of tomatoes and olives and cheese and the sun is just going now we're seeing a really nice actually a really nice sunset but the unique thing or the funny thing is that we left bangkok at 7 00 am this morning and then we'll arrive in la at 11am the same day that's just four hours later and yet the whole journey took something like 22 hours first courses and the appetizers are here and again wow this is beautiful this is a straight-up kasiki ah there's a salmon dish there's some kind of cold salad with eggplant and then there's the whole japanese arrangement of little pickles and even that's uni sea urchin and we're getting a little bit of turbulence right now going for that uni and tofu with wasabi whoa oh that's a type of uh bean curd it's really stretchy almost like mozzarella cheese oh yes yeah salad with salmon good but i think i should have added some of that soy sauce to it with the soy sauce for the next dish there's eggplant there's shrimp and there's pumpkin i'm not sure what that puree is at the bottom there the bright yellow like a bright yellow puree [Music] oh that's juicy tastes like corn i think that's a almost like a cream of corn that looks like the perfect tomato it's so tart and sour and almost has a an onion taste to it [Music] oh thank you very much hot fresh japanese rice and i think it's some type of beef sukiyaki with some tofu and some leeks and then also a piece of mackerel and some pickles and miso soup and what i love about the food is they serve it so hot i opened that rice and it just poofed all to eat it with some of this sukiyaki and the pickles is going to be it's going to be so good a little bit of that ginger on there oh wow yes that's just pure comfort food it just kind of melts in your mouth but it's sort of a little bit chewy and the mackerel wow it has this almost spongy texture to it and then it's salt and cured you just taste that salty umami all the way through the center it's not dry in temperature it's really moist and spongy [Music] so for dessert they had a few things that you could choose from but i'm not hugely into dessert so i just i'm happy with fruit cold fruit [Music] grapefruit or orange and that completes a fantastic dinner so i'm gonna call it a night right here right now get some rest and i will see you in the morning or well in a few hours for the next meal which i think it will be breakfast good morning it's less than two hours before we land and we're gonna be served breakfast now to turn on the lights gonna be served breakfast now and starting with some drinks i wanted to try the tomato juice because we had that a tomato earlier which was delicious and had a big section about the tomato juice in the menu [Music] oh yeah i used to not really like tomato juice i think i really like it now so tart and thick it's almost a milkshake of just pureed tomato that is excellent and then we've got some this is a matcha tea blend and then once again i chose the japanese breakfast might as well keep it japanese food on a a because it's really good this is mainly a piece of fish under here with some vegetables oh it's very very soft fish it's really hot oh yeah that's great though the fish just melts in your mouth really soft tender fish just kind of melts into the gravy with a nice gravy sauce to coat the rice and for the side vegetable on top i believe is the the sticky yam along with some mushrooms as well oh that has a really sour taste with almost a pickly briny taste to it and then it's smoky and gooey at the same time the gooey stickiness from that yam ginger oh yeah oh wow i love pickled ginger [Music] so one more hour left and welcome to los angeles wow i've never seen this terminal so quiet normally it's just filled with people you walk down that hallway coming out from uh customs and then it's just filled with people and welcome back to los angeles by the way and so that completes this video about the food review of a airlines i hope you enjoyed it please remember to give this video a thumbs up if you enjoyed it leave a comment below i'd love to hear from you and if you're not already subscribed click subscribe and also click the little bell icon that way you'll immediately get notified of the next video that i published thanks again for watching goodbye from los angeles and i will see you on the next video
