Special food in Y long haul
Last time I flew TG long haul, I was a little bit disappointed about the food in Economy. Strangely most on the flights from BKK.
Now I am flying CPH-BKK-CPH, and are considering to order their seafood.
Has anyone recommendation about this?..to do or not to do, that's the question

I have ordered the seafood meal on short haul intra-Asian flights in Y a couple of times. Usually it is western style meal with fried fish that is sort of mushy underneath some sort of cream sauce, accompanied by bland veggies. A couple of times there was a rather oily mixed seafood stir fry (prawns, fish, squid and not a lot of it) together with boiled green beans and mashed potatoes.
All in all, it will not be of any higher quality or tastier than the normal Y class fare, except that it will be seafood. At least to my taste, TG catering is very much sub-par when compared to other *A carriers and has gone farther downhill over the last several years. For short haul flights, I just dine before I board the flight and skip the "meal" that they offer, or else pack something to snack on during the flight. Obviously those may not be feasible suggestions for a long haul flight such as yours.

For short haul flights, if I do not take along my own food, I have been dining before boarding and then ordering the raw vegetable platter (sort of a simple crudité) to avoid the nearly inedible hot meals. Makes for a nice, healthy snack anyway.
