Qatar Airways Food Leaving for Switzerland

Dear followers, instead of the usual posts about the Philippine food and sites, the author will be temporarily posting about visits and tastes of places and dishes around Europe. Yes, my family and I are temporarily based in Switzerland, courtesy of my wife's company.

To start off the gastronomic escapades of the author, let me tell you about the meal on board Qatar Airways. We left Manila via Qatar Airways last May 21, 2011.

Business class meals are listed in the menu below:

For starters, there was only one choice for the appetizer, Palate Pleaser Oriental Chicken Salad in Crepe Roll. Fittingly, this was the start of my crepe encounters. Crepes are everywhere here in Europe, at least in the countries we've visited. Though, I'm only fond of one type - crepe with butter and sugar topped with vanille ice cream.

The tiny crepe appetizer looked lovely (see how photogenic above), tasted good, in fact I got my daughter's serving.

The main course was not as good as the appetizer, but still yummy, no need for second servings though - Pan fried chicken breast with paprika, rosemary sauce with whole garlic, roasted potatoes and grilled medley of bell peppers.

For the finale, I had Vanilla ice cream. No picture needed.

The whole meal was tasty, light, and refreshing. I just regretted taking white wine. It didn't went well with the whole meal. It would have, but my palate was not yet used to wines. I'm just starting to learn.

Au revoir!
