I love the beef rawon ex-AMS, which is a beef broth with rice and chucks of stewed beef. Just ordered it again for my flight next week. It's a unique offering as the dish is Indonesian so a nod to the Dutch-Indo connection.
I've had the dimsum and not really cared for it, but I'm fussy about my dimsum. And it's also something offered on a regular basis for the BF menu.
My usual SIN-AMS/FRA routine is to ask the staff to serve my breakfast main as supper (if I do choose to eat a main), and hold my supper main for breakfast. And I choose a light item like the fish congee, even if I don't have it at supper service I have a light option if I'm hungry in the middle of the night/flight. The supper BTC of say a lobster thermidor, I will take for breakfast, since it's closer to lunch time SG time.
But that's just my preference.

Thanks cowie, good point. Not that I need/could get second helpings 
(and deprive crew of their meal!?) Was unable to find a SIN-AMS business class menu except for FlyRilakkuma's Youtube video of the inaugural A350 flight in May. Then, the three main course options for supper were sea bass, herbal chicken with wolfberries and beef rendang.

I have a flight for May next year (on the SIN>SFO direct) but each time I try to BTC it won't let me... just keeps telling me to call the SQ local office... I guest I'll just order off the regular menu if it's not fixed by then.

Mine took about a month after booking to show the options, not sure why. I am flying in Nov for reference.

My recent experience proved successful at least on my own taste. I was on MNL-SIN-ICN-SFO...JFK-FRA-SIN-MNL. Only BTC the SIN-ICN leg and it was good. All other legs, I just took from the menu (esp tricky is the JFK-FRA, FRA-SIN , never fancied any BTC options there) . So I guess its a matter of taking the risk to BTC where in fact you have the luxury to choose 4 ? or 3 ? main dish...

My wife and I have been a bit disappointed with the program and are thinking next time just to take what is offered. I had the beef rendang which was the best of the lot. My wife had a filled pasta that wasn't wonderful as well as just OK salmon. I had Bresse chicken but any resemblance was incidental.

because it is limited to Breakfast items. Unless you are keen on one of the above, I would stick to the standard choice available on board.

Nasi lemak is fine too, nothing special
Poached eggs is not(the yolk is not runny at all)
Warm waffles is ok, the coulis is a little on the sweet side.
Me and the missus take most of our flights in the morning
