MAS extended its "Chef-on-Call" service

Malaysia Airlines has extended its "Chef-on-Call" service to Business Class passengers travelling on its flights between Kuala Lumpur and the cities of Amsterdam, Frankfurt, London, Paris, Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth, Sydney and Auckland.

The chef-on-call menu for Business Class passengers of the national carrier consists of a wide selection of 20 to 30 dishes ranging from Malaysian favourites, chef's recommendations, healthy meals and light meals.

"The Malaysian menu selections comprise among others, the all-time favourites like Nasi Lemak, Assam Pedas Fish, Beef Korma, Chicken Curry Kapitan, Stir Fried Chicken, Wok Fried Egg Noodles, Ayam Kechap, Mutton Curry and Stir Fried Egg Noodles with Seared Prawns.

"These are not only offered for flights from Malaysia but also for flights originating from the European and Australia/New Zealand cities," Malaysia Airlines said in a statement today.

Director of Customer Services Datuk Salleh Ahmad Tabrani said the exclusive service was originally available to Frequent Flyer members of Enrich Platinum category travelling in First and Business Classes when it was rolled out from Sept 1, 2006 and later extended to all First Class passengers on the Kuala Lumpur-London and Kuala Lumpur-Sydney routes from Feb 1, 2011.

"The Chef-on-Call menu for both our First and Business classes is revised every two months where five dishes will be replaced with new ones to ensure our guests have a variety of meal selections.

"To encourage booking of preferred meals from the chef-on-call facility, Malaysia Airlines contacts customers through e-mail at least 72 hours before their flight departure," he said.

Customers can then select their meal options from the convenience of their homes or workplaces through the airline's website at www.malaysiaairlines.com or by contacting Malaysia Airlines Call Centre at 1300 88 3000.

When abroad, they can do so similarly by contacting Malaysia Airlines Call Centre at +603 7843 3000 or the nearest reservations/ticketing office.
