My seat 4D (the one on the right side).

From the film selection, I ended up watching "The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones".
The seat controls giving you at least four variations 😉

Pre-departure Beverage
As soon as I was seated, the cabin attendant came and offered something to drink. I settled for a glass of water. After awhile, the captain came to the PA and informed us of the flight time to Manila which is 3 hours and 50 minutes. The immigration and customs cards were also distributed together with the Asiana pen. Take off was actually 30 minutes delayed due to air traffic.
Dining
The menu card as well as the wine list. As usual, there was the choice of Korean and non-Korean dish. The Korean meal consisted of the traditional Pan Fried Yam "Seoyeohyangbyeong" and the nutritious "Ssambap". The champagne was the same as the one on the London-Seoul route, Piper Heidsieck Brut.
After setting up the table, the cabin attendant served the appetizer which was Smoked Duck with Mixed Greens.

Main Course
Deep Fried Chicken Breast served with Doobanjang Sauce, Vegetables and Steamed Rice 😋
The other choice was "Grilled salmon served with mushroom cream sauce, asparagus and potato".
Cheese: Blue, Cheddar, Maroilles Nouvion
For dessert, they had White Chocolate Panna Cotta, plus various selection of coffee and tea. Since I was already feeling full, I skipped the dessert and tea. Afterwards, hot towels were distributed.
Lavatory
Inside the lavatory, there were amenities which included combs and dental kits. Also, there were the usual L'Occitane skin care products.
A small window for viewing whatever is outside 😉
CONCLUSION
Again, another great experience flying with Asiana Airlines. The food was great, the service was excellent and the whole flight itself was enjoyable. Till next time, Asiana Airlines. Kamsahamnida 😍
