Malaysia Airlines nasi lemak: Then and now

The 'nasi lemak telanjang' issue involving Datuk Chef Wan continues to be a topic of discussion on the internet as many expressed their disappointment over the national dish served on board Malaysia Airlines economy class.

Several passengers have shared the fact this dish has been served by the country's national carrier but it didn't look like the photo uploaded on Chef Wan's Instagram.

The website AirlineMeals.net allows passengers to upload photos of their airline meals to the website and some have uploaded photos of the nasi lemak dish from different years.

This photo was uploaded by Jerry Yong in 2010 during his Kuala Lumpur-Tokyo flight. It contains rendang and sambal udang:

On Saturday, through a statement issued to Astro Awani, Malaysia Airlines expressed their gratitude to Chef Wan for the comment and will improve the quality of food in their flights.

However, Twitterjaya are still abuzz over the 'nasi lemak telanjang' dish:

Chef Wan is right about MAS inflight meals. They're visually awful, taste average. Nasi Lemak Telanjang indeed LOL

Chef Wan kritik nasi lemak MAS tak apa sebab dia chef. Kalau nak kritik kena jadi dulu orang yang nak dikritik. #malaysialogic

Good point from Chef Wan. @MAS kena do something dengan kontraktor yang jadi caterer nasi lemak ni. @twt_malaysia http://t.co/D9fYWZMElY
