Good to know! Is that one of the pre order options or was it on the on board menu?

This was also my first time in Royal First and i chose a lobster as recommendation from this forum. Some photos of my last flight here:

The flight attendants were "ulala"

We just did two flights this month: FRA-BKK (380) and BKK-SYD (747). We preordered meals on both flights. I would recommend against it. The regular menue is better.
Duck on FRA-BKK was completely overcooked, dry and stringy. Prawn curry was a few tiny pieces of shrimp in a sea of tasteless greenish sauce.
Rack of lamp on BKK-SYD meat completely overcooked, stringy and dried out (some had the consistency of beef jerky), potatoes were undercooked.
Monk fish was edible, but also tasteless.
I promise i will never ever complain about the F food on Swiss or Lufthansa. It is not great but it is still running circles around what Thai was serving.

YMMV - I ordered the rack of lamb on the HKG-BKK flight last night. There were two pieces of lamb (naturally, on the bone), and it was cooked just to medium, meaning that there was a slight amount of pink in the meat. It was tender and juicy. Would have loved to have four as there is so little meat on rack of lamb. The potatoes were cooked perfectly, but the veggies (carrots, core of whole onions, zuchinni) were just slightly overdone and soft. There was some grilled onions alongside the lamb. The sauce was ok, but could have used a little more flavor.
Hope I will get same lamb as you soon

The rack of lamb was grilled. It was definitely not overdone; thus, the meat was tender and juicy.
The Steak Rossini from SYD-BKK, however, was overdone and a little tough (unlike last year when it was just shy of medium and juicy). Spreading the foie gras on top helped out a lot this year.
