The Crew Ate My Kueh !

[JANET]

Passengers often purchase goodies from their trips and expect a chiller space for their items onboard. As much as we try to accommodate, the sheer size and quantity of such items render it impossible for all to be stowed. Priority is given to medication that needs to be chilled, not the huge bouquets of exotic flowers or fruit boxes.
Most passengers are understanding enough.

There was a Chinese lady who handed a box of Begawan Solo kueh to my galley steward for ?safe-keeping? in the chiller. She was on the way to visit her relatives in Hong Kong and they loved this particular dessert unavailable there. After the meal service, a stewardess from the other zone cheerily announced that she had bought some yummies from the same shop and that the box was kept in a particular chiller. We tucked in happily and tossed fat worries a mile away.

Towards the end of the flight, the Chinese passenger asked for her item.

?Oh shit,? my steward exclaimed. ?Janet, I think I took the wrong box.?

?What do you mean the wrong box? How many boxes are there in the first place?? I was clueless. He had not communicated about the passenger?s item.

Same box, totally different contents. It turned out that he mistakenly took the passenger?s box of kueh and distributed it among us, while the box containing the stewardess?s pandan cake was still chilling nicely in the galley.

What?s consumed cannot be regurgitated. We immediately apologised to her and offered the replacement. Thankfully, the lady laughed when we recounted the circumstances that led to the mistake.

We would never have wanted to make the headline news: The Cabin Crew Ate Up All My Kueh!
