17 Apr 2026 - Embarking on a 6 Night 6 Days Trip to Chongqing (重庆)

Around this time last year, we travelled to Nagoya for a short break which was nice. This year, we decided to take another short break to Chongqing. Our flight departed at about 8pm and estimated to arrive at Chongqing at 1:15am.

We had our dinner served shortly after take-off. There was a special dinner menu called Shi Quan Wei Mei (食全味美) on this flight, and we decided to try it. Following was what we had.

Side Dish: Spicy Garlic Hot Bean Pickled Cabbage

Cold Appetiser: Eel and Salted Egg Roll with Spicy Asparagus Mushroom Salad

Main Course: Red Bean Curd Braised Pork Ribs, with Chinese Broccoli and Pumpkin Rice

Dessert: Creamy Roasted Walnuts Soup with Pearl Sago

Fruit Palette to complete the meal.

The overall taste of this meal was pretty good for us, but I must admit that not everyone will appreciate it. We especially loved the dessert.

We landed at Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport (重庆江北国际机场) at about 1:10am. Due to the odd hours, we had booked an Airport Transfer to our hotel in Chongqing.
