- With a whopping $500 million food budget, catering chefs for Singapore Airlines pump out 19 million in-flight meals a year. But cooking food for 30,000 feet is anything but easy. Airplane meals, like us, can't miss their flights. So chefs move with military clockwork to stay within flight schedules and food safety requirements. Then there's the added issue that food can taste differently in the sky because of pressure, engine noise, and dryness on the plane. It's a phenomenon airlines and manufacturers have been working for decades to fix. Food and beverage director Antony McNeil develops meals that can regenerate well in small aircraft ovens while still tasting good.
We visit the carrier's largest catering facility inside Changi Airport to see how all this food makes it onto planes before takeoff.

How Singapore Airlines Makes 50,000 In-Flight Meals A Day | Big Business | Insider Business
This makes you realise how fragile the world is, and how much collective effort is required to keep things running as well as they do. The fact we function this well is just a miracle.
Alienation of labour.... It sucks that everyone could just do this and help out equally but the profit goes to the businessman. This collective effort is not out of the goodness of their hearts, but because there is no other choice. I haven't flown Singaporean airlines yet (because they think they're the best in SEA and so I'm sticking with my home country) but maybe when tickets to Singapore are cheaper it'll be nice
Capitalism is a virus
@@missasyan Sorry but youve got it completely backwards. Every step of the way in the hierarchy is people who are doing exactly the maximum that they’re willing to do for the money they’re given. To assume that everyone at the bottom is underpaid and everyone above the bottom is overpaid is ridiculous and there’s no reason to assume this.
“Their collective effort isn’t out of the goodness of their own heart [you mean for free], but because they have no other choice [yes because man must earn his living, as he has done since Adam was cursed to toil the land metaphorically speaking]”
To incentivise a huge amount of people to coordinate themselves in the way shown in this video is a miracle. Did it ever occur to you that different roles require different financial incentives to voluntarily take on? The fact you see this miracle and whine that they’re not willing to do it for free or that the guys in the positions that require the most unique levels of competence aren’t willing to work for the same price as the omelette makers is pathological.
Learn to see the world as it is, not in some non-human communist ant world where everyone, for no reason at all, is completely motivated to do everything without any reward at all
u must be a noob to say captain obvious shit like that. jesus.
@@EPlTHANY no folks starving while working full time jobs are by definition underpaid and those azzholes making millions while playing off thousands of people or running a company into the ground are overpaid. Unregulated capitalism caused the great depression, the housing crisis, climate change, and many other things that are horrible for the planet and humanity.
major props to the workers. i can not imagine having to do this every day as my job
I worked a job similar to this cooking for large amount of people on. Assembly line, it's legit the most bored I have ever been in my life. And standing in one place for hours hurts your back, knees and feet.
@@christianterrill3503 ... I ... obviously we all have some situations in life, tragedies, path or something and do not want to give opinions, but from my perspective and after all these years, honestly It is NOT worth to do something if make you dead, no matter you a technically alive!
The Life is so, so short and in this times that we lived now everything is so overcomplicated and hard to achieve some goals...
Think how to escape from this jail, maybe try to cut your expenses to the very bare minimum, but to have some free time and do not give your health to some bullshit job!
i've worked here part time and its actually pretty fun LOL but they do get very stressed out by the flight timings, making everyone angsty af
@@vasiovasio I only did that Joba. Few months lol it was hell but only a temp job
@Nggr but the not one single motion repetitive job those are the worse.
I flew Singapore Airlines this past September and I believe this was my first time ever finishing every meal I was given. Their food was top notch even better than the Middle Eastern airlines
I think you're just a picky eater. I've flown with more than 20 different airlines and I always finished every last bite.
@@shinybling88 not really a picky eater but when I was younger I always had an upset stomach from eating the airline food. Either the smell of the food would kill my appetite or the taste would make my stomach hurt. This time around it was more appealing and didn’t have problems.
Funny... I flew with them this January and the the foods were abysmal, portions were tiny, and had to call them about every half hour to have a juice or water because they would only use a tiny plastic cup, which was half filled each time. Disgusting service!
@@scienceevolves4417 Those are normal human portions. How fat are you?
@@ivanlagrossemoule are you freaking kidding me 😂😂😂 portions so teeny tiny I was hungry again in 2 hours
I took Singapore Air (economy) from Seattle Singapore back in October. The food and overall experience was incredible compared to anything I've had on domestic flights in the US. Seeing this makes a lot of sense why that is.
Well you're comparing an airline that is generally regarded as among the best in the world, with the US airlines - which have a uniquely terrible reputation as among the worst in the world, so its not all that surprising...
difference btw ASIAN & US
@@asydorasteoh2820 Not really... More like Singapore VS US... Many Asian countries can't be compared to Singapore. Let's put it this way, Singapore is considered the Switzerland of ASEAN.
Haha I like your analogy. I grew up in Taipei, Taiwan and I always tell people (Americans I am friends with) it’s the “Cleveland” of East Asia! LOL!
@@bearmi7096 Genuinely curious here... What's with Cleaveland? Is it an overachieving American city?
This one was especially interesting. It really demonstrates just how human the airline industry is.
Human mhm
“The design is very human”
Human?
More like robotically human. Imagine being that poor lady working omelets, the same action over and over for hours on end. While Marx had some horrible ideas , he wasn't wrong about the alienation of labor. Dehumanizing
@@AdamBechtol your cringe, you get paid all the same
these kinds of jobs (repetitive, robotic tasks and movements under time pressure), over time, lead to physical and mental impacts on the body.
Singapore airlines has the best food I’ve ever had on a plane. Usually with airplane food I just try to eat anything that isn’t terrible and try to get something in my stomach. But Singapore airlines food was actually good. I ordered sweet and sour fish on one flight which I wasn’t sure about, especially because I’m not big into fish but I actually really enjoyed it! It wasn’t just decent, it was good. I’d love to see a video on other airlines to see how they prepare their food because there definitely has to be some differences since Singapore airlines food is much better.
comp for higher ticket prices
@@tinhinnh Not really. Wasn't so long ago that I paid £400 for a return flight to Australia from London. I don't find them overly expensive at all. They are definitely the best airline by a mile. Won't fly any other airline these days long haul.
Apparently the Japanese airlines (ANA and Japan Airlines) are some of the top when it comes to food. Definitely need to get on one of those flights to try it myself haha
i feel like u were flying business
because everyone else in economy got the boot
i got pasta for dinner
it was juke warm and bland, but definitely everything else is suburb
flight attendants were nice
seats were comfortable
a good selection of movies
however, the flight attendants need to speak louder because I can barely hear them over the engine
@@abrararifify 😮😮
What instantly attached me to this is the levels of hygiene they prepare the food with. As a consumer I would love my food cooked with that much hygiene. They look like a scientist carrying out an experiment when cooking the food . It's truly amazing what a human can possibly do. Such an intricate process.
Singapore is the only one left in the golden age of flight
The experience hasn’t changed in decades it’s wonderful! all staff and planes are beautiful
Their country is also in a golden age. Everything is efficiently run and the society is clean and orderly
@@anacc3257 yes, 88,898
@@anacc3257 Its a big contrast to if you travel to Singapore by coach instead of by air though, with many coaches terminating @ the decrepit Golden Mile Complex & Tower until recently (where the false ceiling are yellowed with oxidation & collapsed over the taxi stand, & the toilets are choked). I understand that those properties have ownership split across multiple landlords who can't agree to fork out more money periodically to renovate the properties to keep with the times. The landlords are also more self-interested & less likely, compared to larger landlords, to reject tenants associated with vice e.g. nightclubs, karaoke bars. Meanwhile if you travel by rail you end up @ Woodlands Train Checkpoint, which is even further from downtown than Changi Airport. To continue your journey to downtown you have to catch a connecting bus, which I heard sometimes is cancelled if the Checkpoint gets congested
It’s crazy seeing the amount of work that goes into airplane food.
Edit; Thanks for the likes 😄
And then people complaining
not every airline do it like this
@@___beyondhorizon4664 well we are paying for it so yeah we can complain
The basic economy always ALWAYS has the worst crappy shitty food. I know they said oh but your taste buds change in the air. That's BS. I've sat in first class and business class. That food is way better then basic economy. I mean way better! Notice even in the video, they didn't even have their own Insider staff eating the basic economy food. They know it's shit basic. The Insider gal just sat in first class and business eating the good food. I always decline the food when sitting in economy. I rather have an In N Out burger thank you very much.
@@boohere2 Well, my dear, do you want to pay for an economy class ticket, possibly with a discount, and do you want to eat on the plane to be full two days after you arrive at your destination?
You can order something separately if you are fainting from hunger.
I usually use low cost flights and I don't pretend that a plane is a restaurant. It's an air bus that takes me to my destination!
This will definitely make me appreciate in-flight meals more. Even the most basic airline class meals.
Why? Don't you just hate how industrialised and impersonal the whole process is?
@@scienceevolves4417 i mean, if you want a personally made and handcrafted meal then all you need to do is get yourself a private jet and a private chef to go alog with it. This? Where the system and people keeping it running try to make meals as satisfying and as safe for as many people as possible? That's more than anyone can hope for.
@@9f81rsd00 prefer a million times to cook for myself, thanks very much though
yes❤
@@scienceevolves4417 whatever man. You wanna find some private plane where you can cook yourself thats your problem
I love Singapore airline, as well as, their food. They don't just focus on taste, but also medical and religious demands, even for economy passengers. Till now I have never seen such considerable company. Thank you
Singapore airline food isn't that good. Critiques like Mark Wiens has stated the airline nasi lemak isn't that great. Even the actual nasi lemak in hawker centers can cost up to $8 which is very expensive. Getting cheap and tasty food in Singapore is never easy. So I'm not sure where you are getting your information from.
@@FutaCatto2 I'm Singaporean. I don't know where you are eating in Singapore but there's plenty of tasty nasi lemak for less than $8 a packet or plate. Don't compare airline food with local food. Airline dishes are made to taste acceptable to many nationalities. Less spicy and less spices. Its like eating Asian food in western countries. Very few places will serve authentic recipes as they need to cater to local palates. It's tough to balance the demands.
@@zarine1958 I'm a Singaporean, born in Singapore. If you don't know where I'm eating then you probably don't know your own country. Inflation here is very bad, its worse than Korea. A standard Nasi Lemak in a food court can cost up to $8. Restaurants sell them for over $10. I can compare airline food with local food because there is misinformation here in the video and I'm calling it out. Airline food isn't as good as what's being portrayed and told in the video. The only good thing about our food in general is the cleanliness.
Also there isn't a need to put "less spices" in an airline food. There is barely any santan in the rice. It's basically eating plain rice with processed omelets, a piece of fried chicken and sambal that is overly sweet. There isn't anymore "authentic" nasi lemak stalls left in Singapore due to the high rent. Our pasar malam during Hari Raya can barely make it 1 week in 2023 and there's a documentary stating this problem. Hence the best place to get authentic Malay food is in Malaysia.
It is good for me tho
Maybe you need to learn that you can buy food outside of orchard road. Malaysia food is cheaper but quality and hygiene is poor
I’ve flown Singapore airlines 4 times in Economy this year so far and the food is very good! Their service is good, got nothing bad to say about Singapore airlines. Seeing what goes on in the background makes me appreciate this a lot more thanks to all the workers!
I have to say, I did not expect the food to look so perfect in bulk. That looks pretty good to me. 👍
Good food can be made at any scale, any label or selling point on a product that says "small batch" or "handcrafted" means nothing
The basic economy always ALWAYS has the worst crappy shitty food. No matter what airline. Same. I know they said oh but your taste buds change in the air. That's BS. I've sat in first class and business class. That food is way better then basic economy. I mean way better! Notice even in the video, they didn't even have their own Insider staff eating the basic economy food. They know it's shit basic. The Insider gal just sat in first class and business eating the good food. I always decline the food when sitting in economy. I rather have an In N Out burger thank you very much.
@@boohere2 lmao someone hasn't tried singapore airlines food yet and it shows. i agree with every point you made, might say that im a worse version of you in fact, but singapore airlines is literally the only airline that produces genuinely good tasting food.
@@boohere2 LMAO, so you're a troll just copy pastaing the same comment. You're a plague to the internet.
@@BladeOfDespairr To extend your point basic economy JAL food is B O M B.
I was a temp staff there, nearly 30 years ago. I occasionally add in an extra grape while packing, thinking that random passengers will be delighted for their good fortune.
The kitchen looks the same as before.
lol you've been visited by the grape elf
Haha when I get extra food (not only from airlines) I really do think I had good luck that day! Thanks , fairy godmother!
FBI, it's this man here, he's the serial grapist! Mystery solved! /s
This is the human touch I love.
The magnitude of all the whole process makes me appreciate all the staff and crew very much 🙏👍🌻
I used to make omelettes for a major airline by hand. We didn't have the automated egg dispenser or the turntable. We used a ladle from a bucket of egg yoke and 10 gas tops. I looked after 5 while someone else was cooking on the other five. Started at 4am to ensure they were ready for the breakfast flights.
As a Singaporean I'm so proud of Singapore Airlines, seeing all the positive comments about our airline makes me so happy :DD
Huh, why you proud? You work there meh?
@@yueshijoorya601 why are you so miserable? Why can't someone be proud about something from the own country?
@@yueshijoorya601 because it exists in a country where they live. Its certainly to be proud of.
@@fabiank485 Lmao chill bro. You okay? 😂
@@yueshijoorya601 No lah, I just happy to see SIA get the recognition it deserves
I’ve had the pleasure to fly on Singapore a few times internationally. Even in economy class, it’s a genuinely enjoyable flight experience that I would look forward to-even for a long flight.

I never have much thought as to where my airplane meals came from, this is certainly a cool eye opener. It makes you wonder how much of this goes on around the world is very single day, not just for airlines!
ARE they all like this though? Or is Singapore Airlines just one of the few that make more effort except for people paying tens of thousands for first and business class tickets? Pretty sure most of the regular "economy" flights I've been on had food that was just thrown together by machines and void of all flavor.
@@AD-kv9kj A lot of the big airlines prepare meals like this such as British airways, Emirates, Etihad, KLM, Luthansa, Qantas etc

Can't help but notice how insider doesn't put subtitles on the Australian chef. But for the Singaporean guy, they put on subtitles. I can understand both perfectly despite their accent. Just put subtitles on for everyone. It's great for accessibility.
Great point!
Uh not so relevant anymore. Everyone has subtitles now. I'm sure the guys who put the subtitles in were just too lazy to subtitle everyone on the first go, nothing meant malicious by it
There's a comedy sketch precisely about this 😅

I really appreciate this video, it’s very interesting, educational, and helpful to understand food better in general. Not just on the ground but also in the air. It’s also reassuring knowing that the work done to get good quality food on the plane is taken seriously and exceptional, thank you.
I can only think about the lonely penne falling on the floor at 0:53
Well done for this, gave me so much appreciation for the hard work that goes behind the scenes.
Meanwhile, US flight be like "Here's a bag of peanuts and apple juice" Hope you enjoy the flight
"and that will be $23, please."
Lmao 😂superpower but its airlines with this kind of service.🥴
😂So true..
They gave out 2 mini packs of peanuts each after delaying our midnite flight fm HNL->SFO for over 7hrs!! Freaking us out then wondering if the hotel will penalise us for no show or anything else 😅🤦♀️
True
I've had the pleasure of enjoying many delicious meals on Singapore Airlines.
their service and food is A Class 👌🏼
Liar!
Prices too
Thank you.
We don't fly Singapore often, but when we do, it's always a treat. The cabin crew members are really excellent.
I have a lot of respect for the incredible operation that Singapore Airlines has put in place to serve up to 50,000 in-flight meals every day. It's amazing to see how they can prepare so many delicious meals with such precision and consistency. One of the most impressive things about their operation is how they are able to customize the meals for passengers depending on their destination, cabin class, and even personal preferences. It's clear that they put a lot of thought and care into their menu development process, which can take up to a year to create just one dish.
I also appreciate the attention to detail and food safety protocols that the chefs follow. The air shower to remove contaminants, the cooking process that leaves the food partially cooked to ensure it doesn't overcook in the air, and the use of temperature probes to ensure that the food reaches the right temperature all show the level of care they take in making sure their passengers are served safe and delicious meals.
Overall, I'm impressed with the amount of effort and resources that Singapore Airlines and their catering partner, SATS, put into their in-flight meal operation. It's no wonder why they have such a good reputation for their food on board!
Fun fact: the catering company featured in this video, SATS, also caters food for the Singapore Armed Forces
"Please tell your soldiers to give us a 5 star rating on the feedback booth 🥺"
but when they cater to SAF, it tastes meh at best, only a few places taste decent an example is Kranji Camp 2
My previous employment got food from SATS too,it taste alright. Definitely put more efforts for the SIA
@@ainzooalgown7589 Can confirm OCS cookhouse is up there too, being one of the better tasting ones
If only our food in camp is like this, cb.
i think that is a really top notch chef to be able to handle that operation logistics everyday let alone a whole year
I would love to see his monthly paycheck tbh
@@RainingDarkChocolate US$10000 per month minimum!
actually what we see here is just a demonstration of him cooking but without the media he only oversees the operation, mostly in the office doing paperwork of the food going to serve.
Does he take a leave / vacation?
Thanks for sharing this.
I've always been curious about the food dynamics in the airline industry. We are all connected, and it's that human connection that keeps the world spinning.
I love Singapore airlines the flight attendants were so kind and so nice... We were still hungry after meal service and they had no problems giving us extra treats and snacks afterwards
Great video for educating and enlightening the public that the aircraft does not have a kitchen for flight attendants to cook up a meal for passengers if they didn’t get a choice of their meal and make a fuss about it 👍🏼👏🏼. Thanks
This bring back so much memories for me!! I used to work as both line workers and quality assurance staff for Flight Catering. Everything is always running and moving 24 hrs / 3 shifts. Tons of ingredients for thousands of meals per day :D For me assembling the tray and putting them in the cart were the hardest! You have to be precise and careful or else those aluminum foils got stuck and torn! such a pain in the a** lol I love plating for first and business classes though felt like you were a chef, making art on plates ;D
Question - What actually, but honestly tell me, how one typical day looks like?
8 hours on the line? Is there pause?
What about if you want to go to the toilet?
What about you cannot catch up with the line tempo?
I'm a programmer - obviously Completely different type of job on the other spectrum with different responsibilities and challenges, but I cannot imagine how someone can sit for HOURS on a nonstop line!
How you can take this?
240 minutes straight for example on this assembly line, plate after plate?
@@vasiovasio Yes one shift 8 hrs. We normally have some brakes between orders + normal lunch break. If you need to go to the toilet you need to change out of your uniform first and redress when you wanna enter again. They have several kitchens and zone. Storage, prep kitchen, Hot/Cold kitchen, Bakery. Mine divided Kosher, Halal/Non-Halal zones as well. After food trays were put into the carts you store them in walk-in cold room before trucks came to pick them up to load into aircrafts. For quality assurance staffs we collect samples for microbiology analysis, monitor storage temperature, expiry date and personnel hygiene etc. Hope this help! 😊
@Radoslav Ivanov I worked there last year! You basically work for 4 hours straight then have a 1 hr lunch break and continue for another 4 hrs. The most difficult part was having to stand for such long periods of time.
@@Bella-wp7wz, yes, the continuity of the process is a challenge! I set in front of the monitor all day long, But at every moment when I need it can stand up and pause.
Respect to Everyone who works on a line! :)
Lies again? Special Agent Free Meals
Very cool. I used to work in a catering facility where we prepped from scratch over 7k meals at times. But 50k is even crazier
Big big kudos to Singapore Airlines. I fly with them from Australia to UK multiple times a year, and they're the only airline I choose to fly with. Food & service is fantastic!
Singapore airlines is one of the best airlines i have ever been too. Before that I had garbage like United, southwest, delta. Singapore truly treats you like a prized guest. Drinks, no question, no additional cost, extra food? If they can spare, pig out. SA is one of the highlights of my asia trip
Best food I’ve had on any plane are hands down: Singapore Airlines, Korean Airlines, Japan Airlines, EVA Air. Cebu Pacific also have pretty good food. I haven’t tried Qatar Airways nor Emirates yet but I heard from a friend both also serve good food.
Most of the time airlines do share the same company producing the foods worldwide... its just how much the company willing to spend/how much pax willing to pay for the tickets 😁
Qatar airways economy is not good
The food on Turkish Airlines is also good
Cathay Pacific and Malaysia Airlines = a big NO
Thanks! I'll keep those airlines in mind next time I travel overseas.
I feel exhausted after cooking my own instant noodle, I can't imagine the work done by these staffs on daily basis, Salute their contribution to the world.
That is unbelievable. Wow. What a production. That is organization at it's best. First Class all the way around. Truly amazing how every single detail is handled to perfection. I hope some day I can fly on that airline. Wow. What an operation.
I absolutely LOVE Singapore Airlines food. I don't really expect much from airline meals but when I ordered the honey chicken and mashed potatoes, it was super good. Singapore Airlines food is probably my favourite, maybe even better than Emirates's ones tbh.
I already was quite a fan of Singapore Airlines having good experiences flying with them in/out of Asia to Europe. Looks like they have their food prepping on very high quality level set. Good job 🤜🤛😎
Great food on board with great service!! Absolutely WORLD CLASS Airline!!
@@judeghlful Totally agree, would highly recommend ✈😁
I’ve just flown with Singapore Airlines (Bali to London) and let me you: they are FABULOUS.
The loveliest of staff, comfy Economy seats, great entertainment and food.
I love them!!
The tracking labels are such a cool thing and make a lot of sense to narrow in on what food was contaminated and understanding it's journey from the kitchen to the customer. Just really insightful video and props to these people on doing it all
This CZcams channel is teaching me to appreciate everything....the work and thought process behind superb 👏 service/product
You can tell the kitchen so tidy, clean and neat 👍🏻
I've had the chance to fly Singapore Airlines on my way back home from U.S west coast in 2019 as a little luxury for myself (still economy though) to bear the 13-hour-long flight across the Pacific. I dare say that the flight meals of Singapore Airlines was one of the best I've had! Even compared with other flag carriers like KAL or JAL, it was my personal favorite. If conditions serve right, I hope to use the Airline again someday.
Great information on this channel! Thank you for providing such insight into these things!
This was an awesome video!
I’ve been explaining how this works to friends for years.
Now I can refer them to this video!
Thanks for sharing!
I never thought about the meals on an airplane and their production. Awesome vid.
These guys are doing restaurant level work but also in big batches. Amazing. Their work literally _flies over my head_
I really appreciate this video, quite educative and informative. I really appreciate the work done by the chefs and other team (Together, Everbody, Assist, Member). Kudos
Wow. What an organized process.
Nothing is more comforting, after being in a strange land with no close connections, than a delicious meal. Bless these folks
@@whatapp4742 piss off ya scamma
Oh I love how clean they cook and prepare food. I wish I'd see more people working like this!!! Even on TV. It's getting really annoying to see chefs cook without hair nets and beard nets!!!
yes, they are wonderful over there. Japan is also and extremely clean country, well-run.
The best airline meals of all airlines! I traveled in almost all airlines and I choose Singapore because the flight is amazing and the food is exceptional mostly if the flight is long. I traveled with Singapore at least 7 times to go from New York to Bali, to Kuala Lumpur or Jakarta
Pride of Singapore. Thank you for the professionalism and flying Singapore flag high, literally!
Singapore is my favourite country. Lived in 7 countries and the quality of life is better, by a mile.
Wow amazing the magnitude of meals being cooked everything that goes into it God Bless these workers!!!!
Never knew about taste buds changing with elevation and pressure. Very interesting!
It's reassuring to see your food prepared in such a clean fashion! Kudos!
Am a singaporean here. Anyone find it amusing that they gave English subtitles to the Singaporean man, not the Western chef?
Ikr. As a Singaporean, I do feel offended given that we can articulate English absolutely fine even if we have an accent to get pass. The West needs to stop generalising all Asians as not being fluent enough in English to be understood. We have Westerners living among us and I'm pretty sure they've never had issues understanding Singaporeans in conversations UNLESS there's heavy usage of Singlish involved.
I’d say this was my fav part of being in a plane, the food. When I was in the emirates economy i loved lunch and breakfast on it
This is amazing.. thankyou for the videos. Nice information!❤
Just an incredible effort. Can't say enough. No wonder Singapore airlines is the best service provider as far as I know.
Very impressive. The kitchen cleainess, staff organization and fresh ingredients are amazing.
Love the airline / cruise ship / military food type vids!
Highly appreciated the way they are taking up the things. It's not an easy job
I just love the cleanliness and organize service, that’s why it’s EXPENSIVE!
this bring back memories, used to work there as a food packer with my friends, very fun and good pay
what a great documentary. hats off to all chef, crew and pilots
Trivia: SATS stands for Singapore Airport Terminal Services, & I believe they also have a monopoly over baggage handling @ Changi Airport (which previously had Swissport too but they gave up after not managing to turn a profit). SATS has also diversified to provide food catering outside airports too e.g. MICE, military camps' cookhouses/canteens
Enjoyed watching! Interesting to know how the meals make it to our tray tables!
Impressive. Makes me want to fly Singapore Airlines!
This kind of tech should be in soup kitchens, too. Imagine what positive impacts this could have for like healthy schools and the most vulnerable.

I had the best meal experience with Singapore Airlines last February. I took Singapore Airlines from Jakarta-Singapore-Seoul and Seoul-Singapore-Jakarta and I was always excited every time they served the meals because it was sooo good, especially their sausage and mashed potato.
Super hygienic cooking, lots of work gone in. Impre3ssive. Well done team
I couldn't imagine putting together that many meals
Thanks for sharing this! One of my dream job is to cook for an airline company. It makes me so much happy to see an airline kitchen because my dream job will always just a dream now. Thank you.
Great Job by all of those involved, very interesting and insightful!
From sg here! Most of the time we will consider sia to be ex but if u are gonna take a long haul flight, it really is so much more worth it. The crew are really sweet as well, in my last flight from Zurich to sg, I wasn’t feeling so well but they took so much care in checking up on me and offering more drinks and food
I am learning so much from watching your videos. Thank you so much for sharing this amazing source of information. This one is quite helpful.
The meals just look so good! Nice work!
Wow the cleanliness in this kitchen is amazing.
So interesting and insightful. By watching this video I knew how my meal were produced by those chefs and how to keep delicious
Simply amazing! Singapore air is known for their fabulous food!
Being someone who fly numerous times a month I always love when I’m put on a Singapore airlines flight as their food is always really nice 👌
Watching this while in an SIA plane just hits different 😌
So happy to see fresh food being served. Some airlines freeze their food for months
Singapore is top at almost everything. 👍
Hey Ray. It’s been awhile we see your comments. How have you been?
Great to see someone I know in the comment section❤️
Pretty sure you're only looking at the meal options offered to people who pay 2k+ for their tickets.

Fascinating. Well done to everyone involved.
What an amazing video. Thankyou. I really had no idea how this all happened.
Singapore Airlines has some of the best food among all the airlines. Hands down!
Interested to know what happens to the food if a plane is heavily delayed or canceled.
industry secret, but most likely it gets thrown away.
Give to another flight
It is directed to the staff cafeteria ASAP... Including all the drinks and condiments unused.
thrown out probably. Unless they can get it to another airline that would take it. I doubt they would donate it either
It applies to all flights either inbound or outbound... Meals are designed per flight so it's a done deal even if y'all don't consume.
Mind blowing! Just beautiful coordination.
Took Singapore airlines last October and it was the best flight experience I've ever had
I been so many times up there in a plane, eating and having patience for the long hours trip, but never thinking how this food is made and how much work is involved to do it. Thank you, I have a delicious meal, the service in the plane was superb, the flight enjoyable even it was for hours. I will be back !!!
