Pilot-In-Training Orders SIA’s $98 Satay Via Delivery ’Cos He Misses Flying
“After being away from an aeroplane for almost a year, this was one small way of rekindling the romance of flying.”
Singapore Airlines raised some eyebrows last week when they offered their signature first and business class satay for home delivery at a whopping $98 for 48 sticks, delivered frozen.This satay is somewhat famous with frequent flyers who travel in style — smoky meat skewers paired with spicy peanut sauce must really hit the spot mid-air, especially compared to standard snacks like cheese and crackers. I am a sucker when it comes to food novelties. But with hawker centre satay at around only 70 cents to $1 a stick, there were so many questions, including: Is frozen and reheated satay really worth close to 100 bucks? Is it the exact same satay served on board SIA’s flights? The only way to answer these burning questions was to actually try it myself. So I pulled out my credit card to burn some cash.
