So I, being very bo-liao (that means having nothing better to do in Singlish), decided to give some customer feedback regarding the horrible tasting soy bean milk which sure doesn't make it a great way to fly.
I went to Singapore Airlines' website and e-mailed them under the "Feedback & Enquiry" link. Below is the automated e-mail response I got.

Frankly, I hate such automated responses. It really doesn't tell me that my feedback has been taken into consideration. And the reason why it says "compliments" is because you have to categorise your feedback (compulsory field) under "compliments" or some other option which I can't remember now. But there was no "Complaints and Gripes" or "Food Feedback" (I'd have a lot to say about that!) option.
So the best option would be "compliments", which I did give in a way. You see, I started off by complimenting them on including soy bean milk as a beverage and catering to the tastes of their customers in different localities. Then I dropped the bombshell on how I thought the soy bean milk they served was crap.
And one gripe about their website--it isn't compatible with Mozilla Firefox! The fields just don't work when using it to browse. Maybe something else to feedback upon!!!
A friend of mine said I shoulda marched to the place where the flight attendants prepare food and found out what brand of soy bean milk they were using. Anyway, we shall see what the soy bean milk tastes like the next time I order it on board!
Posted by DSD at June 30, 2006 9:39 AMHey speaking of soy milk, did you like the 'western soy milk' when you were in Sydney - Vitasoy, So Good etc. I'm hooked! And it's so good with coffee! I think vitasoy's the best but for some strange reason, they only bring in the other brands to Singapore
