Hilo bound...

As of now, traveling in Hawaii has been one of my favorite experiences eating wise. While en route to Hawaii, I received a rather tasty egg sandwich on the airline. Now, on the way to Hilo, I got a small jackpot of food. The option to eat Burger King was there of course, but there were other, more satisfying options. 

To be honest, the plate of crunchy orange chicken with veggies and white rice was better than most "American" Chinese food. It easily surpassed my expectations of a meal at the airport. The chicken itself is what stood out. The quick, glassy crunch of a lightly breaded chicken piece gets fried and tossed in this tangy and sweet orange sauce to a fantastical explosion of olfactoral pleasure. 

And to top it all off, having a nice snack on the plane is a must, so I attained a Hawaiian chex mix called cookies in paradise. The furikake party mix is unbelievable. A mix of honey comb, chex, buggles and pretzels are coated in a sweet furikake glaze. So incredibly different than what I am used to. 

Perhaps this could open a door for future chefs to collaborate with airlines to create great flying experiences such as these past two that I had. It could change the world for our mouths and stomachs.
