Didnt know SYD was same day. Which brand did you have out of HKG that it was Fresh? Ive gotten Hermolis a couple of yrs ago on CO it wasnt Fresh as Hermolis AFAIK only makes its meals in London. The last couple of times on UA I got KoshAir.Is BKK a hit or miss? = you got lucky that the day you were flying was the day they cooked.I just dont see enough of a demand that would lend them to prepare meals on a daily basis
Tel Aviv isnt always fresh either, try flying out a day or 2 after Pesach you will still get a Kosher for Pesach meal. The only way to know for sure its Fresh is if theres a salad on the tray. I know Hermolis delivers almost everyday, but Ive been in the BA F lounge and been told they havent gotten any meals in a few days and they ran out earlier in the day from what they had on hand, How true that was I dont know but thats what I was told
I think the Only 2 mkts where theres enough of a demand to actually have Fresh meals daily is NY and TLV. Not saying they arent available elsewhere just that the demand isnt there.

Out of BKK and HKG it was on El Al - in HKG they kosher a kitchen at the local caterer, at BKK they use the same kitchen as Bangkok Air Catering. Meals are prepared whenever there are LY flights (most days).

Hermolis delivery daily to LHR except on Saturday (due to Shabbat) and Sunday morning (as they don't have time to cook). Meals don't go to lounges every day. The only LHR lounge which always has kosher meals (frozen) is at T1 IME.

I fly SQ 25-26 JFK-FRA-JFK very often.
FRA-JFK leg instead of fresh Sohar (FRA) meals they bring frozen disgusting Hermolis have been sitting in SIN for who knows how long. When served they are still mostly frozen and the main course is smelly (especially the fish)
Breakfast is just obscene, Potatoes with beans!! and a slab of scrambled egg that is not worthy of prison food
I complained so many times to SQ but no one cares!

Did you contact Hermolis before complaining to SQ?

still haven't been able to reserve KSML from PVG-SIN even though I can for all other segments. I have called multiple times but they say ksml isnt offered on that route. Indeed when I go online to the dropdown meal menu and choose religious for that flight it offers Hindu or Muslim but not ksml. Any suggestions? Anyone ever get ksml for that route? It's pretty hard to believe its truly not offered.
