Fernandes praised Singapore Airlines' service and internet connection but criticized its in-flight food as "poor," the South China Morning Post reported.
His post on Oct. 1 included a photo of the meal, which appeared to show noodles in red gravy served with beef and vegetables.
He then praised AirAsia's in-flight catering brand, Santan, calling it "far far better" and claiming that the Singapore Airlines cabin crew agreed.
Despite his criticism of the meal, Fernandes called the flight "great" and said AirAsia was "not far off" Singapore Airlines.

A Singapore Airlines spokesperson told AsiaOne that the carrier "welcomes and values all customer feedback" and remains committed to investing in and improving its overall customer experience.
Fernandes's remarks came less than two weeks after Singapore Airlines was named the World’s Best Airline for the sixth time at the 2026 Skytrax World Airline Awards.
The carrier also received awards for Best Airline in Asia, World’s Best Economy Class and World’s Best Economy Class Onboard Catering.
