Malaysia Airlines will be serving a special inflight menu this Hari Raya Aidilfitri travelling season. Travellers on selected flights between 15th and 17th June 2018 will enjoy a favourite dish from the kitchen of the Raja Muda of Perlis. Perlis is Peninsular Malaysia’s most northern state.

Special inflight menu Hari Raya 2018

Raja Muda Tuanku Syed Faizuddin and his consort, Tuanku Hajah Lailatul were served this traditional dish in their home in Arau, Perlis, to launch the meal. The recipe is a favourite at Istana Arau, the official residence of the Perlis royal family.

Kurma Daging Perlis is part of the airline’s Best of Malaysia initiative, serving traditional Malaysian meals in-flight and on-ground. Passengers in all travelling classes will get to enjoy the meal the first three days of Aidilfitri starting 15th June.

• MH2 and MH4 from Kuala Lumpur to London
• MH150 from Kuala Lumpur to Jeddah
