The best meal I ever had on any TG flight was Salmon Phad Thai (not sure of what the exact name was on the menu - I should have made a note of it). That was on BKK-LAX in C. For me, I wish they'd have that as a choice for a pre-ordered C meal.

In my experience, C menus have four entrees. The first two listed are special for C, the last two are Y entrees presented according to the C format. Of course the entree is just part of the meal. The appetizer, salad, dessert, fruit/cheese, etc. are all C and not Y items. As for F, I don't know being I don't have that much experience in TG F to know what entrees might be from C or Y.

I cannot guarantee that it's always the case, but one time out of curiosity I asked the FA which were the items from Y and she pointed to the last two items. So after that I made a habit of asking the same question, and in about 10 times, it's always been the last two items.

I am booked in Royal Silk Class on 2/6/12 from SYD - BKK - LAX and when I login to "book my meal" it says No Special Meal under the Meal Preference with nothing else to click. Am I doing something wrong or are meals for preorder not available for February 2012 yet?
Any assistance is much appreciated!

For completeness sake, I asked about the breakfast menu in C. Out of two flights which served breakfast, with three items total, in both cases the first choice was unique to C, while the last two were Y meals. Although the choice unique to C was an omelet with chicken sausage, the very same thing that's frequently available in Y.

I'm now looking forward to scrutinizing the menu (an food) more closely on my upcoming flights. It should provide a little more fun to while away some of the 12 hours or so, Personally, I wish some of the dishes served to and from KTM could make it onto afuture enlarged list. I like that food better than anything I've ever had on any airline but I guess it's destined to remain on Nepal, Indian and perhaps Sri Lankan flights.

It now says this service is available for all international flights out of BKK except for Penang...very excited to try it on my flight to CMB. If I see something I prefer on the menu, can I decline my pre-ordered menu? My guess is no, but just wanted to ask. Also, do the pre-ordered meals receive the same side dishes (appetizer, etc) like the main meals or do you forfeit all of that by pre-ordering an entree?
