Coffee and tea were also offered although I declined and after the meal service, hot towels were distributed. Since it was Valentines Day, I was expecting to see some sort of celebration but didn't see any sign so I asked Amelia about it. I was informed that they don't celebrate Valentine's Day since they are Muslims and it is against their religion.

This was another great flight on Malaysia Airlines even if the flight was a short one. The service was friendly and attentive at the same time. I was always offered refill of drinks and the food tasted very good. To all the crew on this flight specially to Amelia, Terima Kasih 🙇
