Aussie Bites | TAFE Cafeteria's Fish n' Chips

02.23.2018 – In high school or college days packing lunch was a challenge. Every day it becomes redundant with the food you bring all the time. But it saves you enough money for you buy stuff that your mom won’t let you get namely comic books or toys. But as you become an adult and have decided to embark on living overseas the challenges stay the same only this time you get smart at it. Rarely, buying food at the cafeteria is something not the usual thing when its lunch time. For this day only trying something different and for this day no more bringing the usual homemade sandwich or the microwavable rice in the box meal that was purchased at either Coles or Woolworths. It’s time to try the local stuff that TAFE Regency has to offer and that’s the usual Fish n’ Chips!

Maccas | Chicken Big Mac

Enter: Chicken Big Mac, the one and only limited time offer to McDonald’s Australia has landed. Yes, the Big Mac gets reinvented with Chicken instead of Burger meat patties. It’s like the McChicken that became a Big Mac minus the sloppy mayonnaise that comes with it and it’s entirely something new.

Malaysia Airlines In-Flight Meal Return Trip.

This was changed due to that the Coca-Cola Company introduced Fanta Zero and Coca-Cola Zero.

Malaysian Airlines In-Flight Meal to KL!

12.22.2013 – It’s rare that you get to travel and have an in-flight meal. Domestic flights in the Philippines serve food, but most of them you need to pay for it.

Some might have not received the best customer service but for this trip surely this traveler was having a good bite while having an in-flight movie. Malaysia Airlines served a great meal and it definitely lived up for it.
