kyo kaiseiki is awesome!
Wish they offer it on J for every flight.
I would pick that every single time.

Flying SIN-HKG in Suites soon on SQ860. Any recs on what to get for BTC? Also, does anyone know if they only serve breakfast foods in the lounge since it's morning flight?

Any recent suggestions for JFK-FRA?
Flying JFK-FRA-SIN-MNL, digging through this thread i've seen a lot of variations and quality differences on the dishes at each station. Havn't seen many JFK and FRA reviews, so I'd appreciate any advice on what you guys recommend for these stations. I highlighted a bunch I think I am most interested in, but I am not set on those and willing to take all recommendations! Thanks!

Not a lot of info on ex-SFO BTC in J for SFO-SIN (newer route, so understandable). With the options below, I'm leaning to not ordering in advance. Bad idea?
Thanks to all who have posted. Helped me with my ex SIN leg. Gonna see what this lobster thermidor at 38k feet fuss is about.
However, flying J SFO-SIN in a couple months and options ex SFO (understandably) seem less common in this thread.
Brekkie...only option is "multigrain toast" (???)
Dinner...
-braised guinea fowl
-jumbo shrimps
-strip steak and roasted potatoes
-crab cake and potato wedges
-braised beef rib
-steamed fish roll with ham
-chicken rice
-pan fried halibut
-stir fried mussels
Leaning toward shrimps, steak, crab cake, or halibut. But frankly, nothing really popping out at me. Anything stand out to you guys either negative or positive? Might just go with onboard menu.
Refreshment...no options

How far in advance does BTC typically become available for a flight?

It's been my experience that as soon as you're booked (and minimum 24 hrs before the flight for BTC) you have access to manage the booking, including BTC (but I haven't booked flights months in advance either).
