As a teetotaller, never tried it, but is there a limit on the number of glasses/bottles of Krug SQ staff will serve you? or will they keep on pouring as long as the PAX asks for more?

Whilst my husband didn't have 3 bottles of Krug he was given everything he wanted.... from Krug, Scotch, Red wine to Cognac. He said he never had to ask for another drink the FA's were there in anticipation of him needing another drink. He said there was never a time when he was actually waiting.

Two BTC options FRA-JFK in Suites. One will definitely be the Boston Lobster Thermidor and thinking one of the following:
Suckling pig with beer sauce
Filet of Veal
Beef filet
(Gasp) Lobster thermidor again!
Any recent experience on pig/veal/beef out of FRA?

How far in advance is one able to select their BTC meals? I just booked my ticket and it is not available for choosing of meals from the BTC Menu for SQ12

Waffles
Any feedback on whether to order the warm waffles with strawberry coulis for breakfast on SQ 231? I've found two pictures on trip reports and the waffles look tiny!

It is tiny. I had it once and the IFS even proactively offered a second breakfast as he himself said it probably was not enough. Basically 2 mini palm size waffles and a dollop of berry sauce. Flavour was fine though.

Thanks for the advice. I actually booked the burger as I've had a throat operation and need to eat soft meat. I can't eat bread at the moment so will bypass the bun! I'm not a huge meal eater so maybe a small miserable looking meat patty will be right up my alley! It will remind me of my own cooking at home

I'm not clear what BTC really is. I initially thought it would allow me to make custom meals, but when I choose it on the SQ website, it just gives me a list of items to choose from. How is this different than ordering off a regular ("standard") menu?

Its either that or it just gives you a chance to get exactly what you want from a larger selection of better food. Some dishes are quite famous here like the lobster, satay, or laksa.

It sounds like you thought that BTC was something far more elaborate than it is. It is simply a way to guarantee a meal choice and to select from a wider variety of options than is offered onboard. If you look at the menus departing Singapore in particular, you will see that you have vastly more choice than you would ever get from the onboard menu, and indeed it comes pretty close to anything you might come up with if you were able to design your own custom onboard menu.
