I also have a flight in January. I was able to view the BTC menu, but unable to save the selection. Were you able to save your meal selections?

Thanks!

BTC - How far in advance

Hi all,
I'm flying JFK-SIN-SYD in Suites leaving Jan. 8. Obviously it's a while out, but my understanding was that you could select meals at 6 months out. Am I mistaken? Will the selection option "trigger" at some later point? Or is the fact that it's not working now suggest it won't work later on, either? Thanks!

Anyone have experience booking BTC if the SQ sector is a codeshare?

Uunable to see onboard menu for my flight, evening using SQ locator. Tel agent indicated while BTC is available on my flight (ex SIN), it may not be available to those with codeshare tx.

With reference to last post, the breakfast menu listed -- is it the onboard or BTC menu?

The Lobster Thermidor is definitely SQ's classic BTC dish. I have had it a few times.

This was on LHR-SIN, back in 2015. The lobster thermidor at 9:00 min mark. Enjoy your flight!

No BTC, though I have gotten good meals out of FCO with SQ.

Wow this thread continues to deliver - really helpful except for the mixed reviews of the lobster. I guess I can try it on my short flight ex-SIN and change my selection for my return flight if it proves mediocre.

Agree 100%. Personally I thought the duck on the in-flight menu looked more appetizing but it's all personal preference. I do try to avoid sauces and spicy food, another minus with the lineup below.

However, flying J SFO-SIN in a couple months and options ex SFO (understandably) seem less common in this thread.

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

Last flew this route (via HKG) in 2015 and it was the same uninspired choices. Hard to believe SQ can't find a decent chef in SF - maybe they don't pay enough. At least get us some sea bass and filet mignon instead of fried fish and strip steak.

Here is the crab ravioli, Chilean Sea Bass, Salmon, and Lobster thermidor from SQ 7 in J yesterday LAX-ICN-SIN.

(actually the lobster thermidor was from my final SIN-DPS flight)
Thanks for the great photos - definitely better than 1000 words (or even the preceding comments LOL).

That Sea Bass really looks great, but the other photos are also helpful as I try to avoid things that are lathered in sauces, which upset my stomach.

I don't know about F lounge but the regular lounge was mostly breakfast during the a.m. though they had a few dim sum type items. That being said, it is the only lounge where I find it necessary to drink champagne (which I normally avoid) because the quality is just too high to pass

I'm flying SYD-SIN-NRT in F in a couple months. Seems like the Indian lamb shank curry ex-SYD and the curry patta lobster ex-SIN both have good reviews. Anyone want to talk me out of those?

Does anyone has any idea on Business Class Supper Service from Sin to CPT? From what i gather you cannot book the cook and the meal service is not as great?

Anyone experience it on their other flights leaving early in the morning around 1am to 2am?

For flights leaving from SIN (except to KUL), you should be able to Book The Cook. I have done it for my flight leaving at 115hr from SIN-PVG a couple of times. You can manage your booking online to book the cook. The meals should be there for your selection.

Enjoy your flight!
