A look at the menu choices:
A little bit of champagne with my companion AP to start our journey to Taipei:
The starter is a Cured Scottish Sea Trout:
Cherry tomato and greens with the Cured Trout:
Hot from the oven Garlic bread:
Lobster Oriental style with Ginger and Onion, Seasonal Vegetables:
Dessert was a slice of Pecan Pie and Fresh Fruit
A nice hot cup of Chinese Black Tea to end the supper meal:
Once we are underway, the cabin lighting changes color, to wash up and go to sleep...it's a long flight to Taipei!
For breakfast, we start with a glass of orange juice:
Our choices for the Breakfast Meals:
Caramelized Onion and Mushroom Omelette
Taiwanese Style Congee Severed with Cold Delicatessens, Egg Pancake with Basil, Mixed Mushroom with Snap Peas and Carrot
Almond Croissant Bread Pudding with Chocolate Covered Bacon and Vanilla Cream Sauce
Since we are headed to Taiwan, let's do the choice number 2:
The Taiwanese style porridge was very plain. It came with a variety of add ons that you place into the porridge. Pork Sung, Bean Curd with Celery, and Gluten:
The Mixed Veggie was pretty good:
This was rather too bland for me so I looked for a snack:
I heard about the Cheeseburger from others that flew on this flight, many don't know about it so I had to try it out. Looks pretty good!
Surprisingly it was fantastic! It was served on a brioche bun with fat cut fries. The fires were ok but it sure it the spot.
YUM!!!

Star Alliance Lounge LAX @ Tom Bradley International Terminal
On my flight out to Asia, I had a chance to visit the Star Alliance Lounge at the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). Located on level 6, the lounge has been remodeled last year so I was excited to check it out. Once I got past the security screening...

EVA Air Royal Laurel Flight BR891: TPE to HKG
When we arrived into Taipei from Los Angeles, it was raining heavily: EVA Air partners with Hello Kitty and as you can tell it was all over the place! The EVA AIr lounge at Taipei was nice. Staff was friendly and the food selection was good. The lounge wa...

The Asian premium carriers and the Middle East carriers really really
Put US and most European carriers to shame in the front of plane cabins... ...
we always fly EVA..
even in the poor man's economy class, its great service and decent seating... looks like much to look froward to when the kids are out of the house..LOL
re: always
Hello ocwatching, Since you always fly EVA you should be racking up frequent miles, pretty soon you'll have a Royal Class ticket for you and the mrs.! HAGWE! -MW ...
I was a fan of Lufthansa...
Lufthansa's First Class Terminal in Frankfurt is still my favorite lounge in the world. Getting driven to the airplane in a car and driven from the airplane in a car is a great benefit and time saver. Plus you don't have to navigate the large airport. I w...
I haven't taken the TPE to HKG
I haven't taken the TPE to HKG, but I have done SFO to TPE. EVA is great. Thanks for sharing your experience! Looks like you are on your way to a good trip!
Fying in first
Must be nice flying with the lie flat seating. Food looks pretty good too. I heard that EVA air served some dishes from Din Tai Fung? That would be cool. Regards, ED-209
They have a partnership with DTF...
I believe that the outbound flights from Taipei have the DinTaiFung option. Overall the food on EVA Air was ok. The Wagyu Beef Tenderloin sounded really good but from people I know who actually flew on this route said it was overcooked/well done. :( -MW ...
The Best Part...
Flying in Royal Laurel Class Service is actually technically a Business Class fare. You pay business class money or mileage. And you can upgrade with a system-wide upgrade if you have an upgradeable economy class ticket. But the amazing part is that EVA's...
A great way to travel, Ming!
The terrace in the lounge seems to be a pleasant place to relax… And the comforts of the flight are evident. Pimpin´ain´t easy, but you make it appear otherwise :-P Happy to see you enjoyed your vacations! Best, Alex
re: great way to travel
Thanks for looking Alex, I had a lot of fun of this trip. Got to meet a lot of new PuristS in HK, Macau, and China and put a face to the screen name! Lots of pics to share so stay tuned! Here's a shot as we arrive to HK! Any trips planned this year? Going...
That´s probably my favorite part of Purists, Ming.
To be able to meet cool and interesting people from the world over. The watches are just cherry on the cake ;-) As far as travels this year, for the time being I just have a trip to the beach come spring break planned, but I am working on being able to ta...
Agree!
We're fortunate to have a good worldwide group here on the PuristS. We're still trying to make our way to the Big Texan in Amarillo to do the steak challenge LOL! Got a few trips planned this year. Was going to go to the East coast but things got cancelle...
