Hi everyone!
I just wanted to hop on and say before the video starts that this was filmed in October
2019, so over 5 months ago.
And I still have a few travel vlogs left from that trip that I'm gonna get up for you guys,
but I'm gonna run out in a few weeks.
So if you wanna see any videos from me that I can film during quarantine, then please
let me know in the comments down below.
And I hope you guys are all doing well, and staying safe, staying home, and now let's
get into the video!
Woohoo!
We're starting off at the business class lounge!
They said that I couldn't film but I snuck in a few iPhone clips for you guys.
It was a really nice lounge, and they had a good variety of food, like buffet-style
hot foods, including curry and pasta, and they even had some dimsum selections as well.
I was most excited about the beef noodle soup and also the unlimited Haagen Dazs
Literally, my five-year-old self was screaming.
But honestly the food was not super impressive, at least not the selection that I tried.
The best thing was that they had some mochi donut holes from Mister Donut, and I don't
have much footage of that because they got snatched up real quick!
Now it's finally time to pack up and head over to the gate, but not without grabbing
a snack first!
Hehe.
Ahh, I literally couldn't contain my excitement because it's been my dream to fly business
class forever!
We got to board first which is a luxury I never thought I would experience.
Usually I'm all the way in the back in seat 950F, but this time ya girl was in seat 5K!
And no, not like 5K as in 5,000.
That's kinda confusing.
But 5K as in row 5, seat K. Oh my gosh, okay.
So I just got to my business class seat and I'm lucky I got a window view.
So once I sat down, they asked me if I want water, pineapple juice, or something alcoholic.
So I chose the pineapple juice.
Let's do a taste test.
So fresh.
Straight from the... [crickets] Where do pineapples grow?
In the...
Somewhere tropical, how about that.
Straight from somewhere tropical.
And then, they gave me a little wet towelette, as well as a little chocolate.
I could get used to this.
So yeah, let's just do a tour, shall we?
Okay!
So when I got to my seat, they had this pillow, as well as this.
I think this is probably amenities and stuff.
Ooh, these must be like really nice headphones.
Slippers, yes!
Oh my gosh, I'm gonna put these on.
Oh my God, they're actually like so comfy.
This is like, padded.
Very nice and cushy.
So here's the meal table, whoa!
This thing is huge!
I guess we're gonna be eating good.
We're gonna be eating a lot, if I need that big of a table.
So here is a desk space as well.
And they handed me some pajamas to change into, so you know I will definitely be doing that.
Here we have a light.
Oh there's different settings.
Two USB ports, wow.
We are living today.
And an outlet.
Why did I say it like that?
Yay!
So soon after we took off, we had our first meal.
It was super quick, but they wanted to get us fed I guess.
And I have no problem with that.
So our first course was the prelude, and it was a roasted chicken and baby artichoke heart,
as well as a garlic cream cheese with peach mini tartlet.
The presentation of both of them were super cute, and they also gave me this tiny fork
to eat them with.
For the mini tartlet, I actually really liked the garlic cream cheese, but then there was
the sweetness from the peach that I didn't really like.
And overall, they were both really delicate bites, but my peasant palate probably wasn't
sophisticated enough to appreciate it, so they weren't my favorite.
So the second course was the hors d'oeuvres, and we had a goose liver pate, cajun spiced
prawn, and also a caramelized onion with red wine jelly.
So I started off with the shrimp, and it actually had a really nice cajun flavor, but it wasn't
spicy.
It was flavorful, and the shrimp was very tender and cooked perfectly.
Then I was feeling a little more adventurous, so I went ahead and tried the goose liver.
I was very nervous to eat it, and...
Honestly the texture took me awhile to get used to, but it wasn't awful.
It was pretty salty so I thought maybe I was supposed to eat it with the vegetables to
balance it out.
Honestly, not super sure, but the veggies were pretty good.
Alright, moving onto these jelly cubes.
They were definitely intimidating because I'm not used to having savory jelly, but I
gave it a try.
And it tasted kinda tomato-y.
It was very interesting, and not my favorite.
I did not finish that one.
They also came around and were offering bread, and I chose the garlic bread.
And that was really really good.
So garlicky and flavorful.
I loved it.
But I mean, I also just love garlic and garlic bread, so can't really go wrong with that.
And moving onto the third course, which was soup.
It was a creamy cauliflower soup with a herb cheese crouton.
The soup felt nice and warm, and when I tried it, the cauliflower taste wasn't too strong,
it was really creamy and smooth.
And it reminded me of clam chowder.
Overall, it was a big hit.
The crouton was super cheesy and yummy.
It was definitely a great addition to the dish.
Then, I had an epiphany, and I added pepper to the soup, and I dipped my bread into it.
This just leveled it up SO much more.
It was super delicious because there's nothing like dipping warm bread in a hearty soup.
So good!
So the fourth course was just your plain ol' salad.
It was a garden vegetable salad with avocado creamy dressing.
It was honestly a pretty normal salad, not much to say about it, but it was good.
The veggies were fresh, and they even cut the carrot into these cute little butterfly
shapes, which got me all excited because I'm a sucker for cute food.
Hehe.
Alright so next was the fifth course which is the main course, aka the head course in
charge.
So we got a golden fried prawn, coated with almond flakes, with shiso prune sauce, assorted
vegetables, and egg fried rice.
So the prawn, it actually wasn't a full prawn.
It was kinda like a minced prawn, think like a shrimp patty/shrimp paste type of thing.
And it was pretty good.
I actually really liked it except that the almond coating pieces were way too big.
And since it was covered in the sauce, it wasn't crunchy at all.
It was basically like eating soggy wet almonds, but I did really like the shrimp part.
The egg fried rice was really delicious.
The rice was cooked perfectly.
It was not too hard, not too soft.
And there were little pieces of fluffy egg throughout the rice, so it was really enjoyable.
So you know I can't forget about dessert, which was the sixth and final course of this
meal.
It was a lemon meringue tart, and it was also served with some fruits on the side.
The meringue was super, super fluffy.
The lemon filling was just perfect, not too sweet, not too tart.
And I also really loved the buttery crust.
Okay so I just finished eating the first meal, and now I'm gonna get ready to sleep because
this flight was at 11:30pm, so it's naturally time to go to bed.
That's why they turned all the lights off.
So yeah, I'm gonna change into these PJ's right.... now!
What do we think?
Fashion?
They're actually very very soft and comfortable.
Now, moving onto one of the most exciting parts about business class, SLEEPING!
I cannot tell you how stoked I was to be able to actually lay down horizontally and sleep
on a flight.
It was something I've dreamed about for my whole life, to the point where I'm pretty
sure I was even dreaming about it while I was sleeping on this flight.
They even had lit-up stars on the ceiling, which was such a nice touch.
After I was done dreaming, it was about time to do some work.
And once I got tired of doing work, which was probably 5 minutes after because I'm a
procrastinator, I was ready to see what entertainment they had available.
I saw that they had Toy Story 4 and immediately knew I had to watch that because how can anyone
pass up watching Toy Story?
C'mon, I'm not a monster.
I was super excited to check out the bathroom because I've seen that some business class
bathrooms are super big.
When I walked into this one, I definitely noticed that it's the biggest airplane bathroom
that I've been in, but that's also not saying much because I'm usually over in economy.
And it was nice to have a little extra space, even though it wasn't as big as I was expecting.
It also had a baby changing station, as well as your usual bathroom amenities, like earplugs,
hand towels, toothbrush and toothpaste, as well as some fancy hand wash, lotion, etc.
It even had a little bit of decor, aka this one flower on the wall.
It's finally time to see what they put in the amenity kit.
They gave us sleep masks, socks that actually have some traction on the bottom too.
So fancy!
As well as a comb, this hand and nail treatment cream, toothbrush and toothpaste, earplugs,
some lotion, and something you always need on a flight -- lip balm!
And it was also cool that it all came in this hard shell travel case that we got to keep.
Alright so about an hour before landing, it was time for our second and final meal.
This one was a savory rice vermicelli noodle soup with pork and taro.
It came with this salad-looking appetizer, which was actually thinly-sliced potatoes.
It wasn't bad, I actually really liked the flavor of the salad, but it definitely was
a little too salty for me.
But overall, it was a great way to start the meal.
This meal also came with this other side, which upon first glance, looked like some
sweet potato or carrot with beets, and it had a sesame sauce on top.
After taking a bite, I can confirm that it was sweet potato, and it was quite soft, and
almost like eating a sweet potato with peanut butter but instead it was sesame.
So moving onto the main dish which is the vermicelli noodle soup and pork.
And oh my gosh, it was really nice.
These fluffy rice noodles are always so comforting.
Since they're so thin and there's a lot of them, it actually coats your whole mouth and
it's like giving you a warm hug.
It doesn't get much more comforting than that.
After trying the pork, it actually wasn't bad.
It wasn't super tender, but it also wasn't really dry either because there was definitely
some fat running through it.
The taro roots were super yummy because they were still crunchy.
They added a nice crispy texture to the hearty bowl of noodle soup.
And of course I had to taste the broth.
So the broth was very very light, but it actually still had a lot of pork flavor in it, and
that was super impressive.
It probably was my favorite part of the whole bowl.
For dessert, we got a plate of fruits.
Keepin' it healthy over here.
Usually the fruits on these flights are super juicy and sweet so I was really excited.
The papaya was very soft and ripe, but the pineapple definitely could've been sweeter.
Overall the fruits on this flight were pretty good, but the ones I had on my Eva Air premium
economy flight were much better.
And before I knew it, we were already landing in San Francisco.
That was the whole Eva Air business class experience, and my first time EVER riding
business class.
My life is honestly changed forever.
