Malaysia Airlines serves special inflight dish for Hari Raya

In conjunction with the upcoming Hari Raya Aidilfitri,Malaysia Airlines will be serving a special royal menu by the Raja Muda of Perlis, Duli Yang Teramat Mulia Tuanku Syed Faizuddin Putra Jamalullail and his consort, Duli Yang Teramat Mulia Raja Puan Muda Tuanku Hajah Lailatul Shahreen Akashah Khalil. The royal dishes will be served onboard selected flights from 15 until 17 June 2018.

The menu is part of the airline’s Best of Malaysia initiative where the airline introduces authentic and traditional Malaysian meals in-flight and on-ground.

The Kurma Daging Perlis will be served to passengers flying First and Business Class on MH2 and MH4 from Kuala Lumpur to London, as well as Business Class on MH150 from Kuala Lumpur to Jeddah, and MH112 and MH196 from Kuala Lumpur to Dhaka.
