A bumpy, yet nice flight: PVG-KUL-SIN with MH's Hospitality

[Maxie773]

There was once where we were assigned a middle seat in the 2-5-2 configuration on MH. My parents didn't want to sit in the middle of the middle, so they asked me to sit there. It felt very tight and squeezy. I have never felt so squeezed on a plane before. What I hate the most is when my brother and father took all the armrests, leaving me with none...

Luckily, the flight wasn't full, so we switched to the window seats immediately once the doors were closed.

To compensate the poor middle seat PAX, they can make that seat a little wider

It's not that bad, it's about the same as taking a window seat on a 3-3-3

Actually, it is, IMO I like the 2 seats because I get a window seat but I don't have to crawl over people unlike the standard 3 seats. Plus, families of 4 get to sit back to back.

I put on a couple of kg reading this.

Liked looking at 2-5-2 seating on 777.

I'm beginning to think it's better than 3-3-3 seating

Wow... Would love to try those authentic ones someday.
Have never been to Penang before. Would love to go there someday too.

Only just saw this thread. Couldn't resist adding another link to a pic of an authentic penang char koay teow

Damn makes me wanting some now. Have to wait till April to sample the authentic one again

Nice report, 2-5-2 seems like an uncomfortable seat combo unless you are wing aisle. Bad luck about the turbulence, I would have screamed for sure.

Nice TR! Glad you enjoyed MH..

Yeah the Char Kuey Teow looks abit anaemic.

If I might be so bold - the first picture here has an accurate representation of what authentic Penang Char Koay Teow should look like! I hope you get to try it one day (in Penang, of course! Nobody does it accurately elsewhere! Except when I cook it myself... hoho)

That picture truly brings back memories of Penang ! mmm ... I remember eating 5 times a day ! Every meal had a plate of it !
Oooh ! When you cook it yourself ? How much per plate ?

[soarbeyond]

Haha... The char kway teow and the hor fun is found in NUS. There is a restaurant in NUS called "Cafe on the Ridge" and its very good. The Prawn Mee comes from ION's food opera. There is a stall called "3rd generation laksa and prawn noodles" and its run by my cousin! The dry mee siam comes from a stall called "Oneh Oneh" in Parkway Parade.

You should try them sometime. They're good!

OMG ! HAHAHA ! I have actually tried them all before !

Thanks for the TR, but let me assure you - authentic Penang Char Kway Teow doesn't look like that... and it sure doesn't come garnished with a cucumber and tomato slice...

Really?? The menu said that it was...
