New meals and service trial BKK NRT 380 J
Interesting new trial of extensive menu selections only in the A380 J cabin between BKK and NRT.
the food was extremely fresh, well flavoured and restaurant quality
They are trying out a Thai "food stall" type menu for snacks and various other meal choices
Interestingly the main meal didn't have a seafood or vegetarian main course and there was no Japanese Omakase style meal offered.
The FA team was definitely overwhelmed with the huge combination of possible orders. But TG is trying to make their meals edible again. Nice to see.

what is a Thai "food stall" type menu for snacks and various meals?
typical Thai dishes that you can get at food stalls in Thailand such as chicken with rice, noodles, fried rice, phad thai, grilled chicken with som tum etc.?

TG at least in the past tend to offer the latter for their Thai dishes; wonder how they can keep the som tum fresh!

For Som tam, I think they keep the ingredients separately and mixing it together when serving.

is there also a som tum with pla ra available for our distinguished member dsquared37 (just a bit afraid that Noppasit and his servant can not keep it on their run to the restroom when the pla ra version is served)

So the flight attendants are peeling and shredding the green papayas?

Thai taste, meaning Royal Thai cuisine style Thai taste, not catering to some village bumpkin traveling eith her farang sugar grandpa.

Under Royal Thai cuisine I have sampled quite different styles during last 20 years and not all was Thai style and in a lot of cases the flavour was actually more directed to a international, global taste.
This board is not frequented by village bumpkins and sugar grandpas and if you would like to insult fellow board members you should try with someone else!

I guess you did not get this thread which I referred to: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/thai-...mell-like.html

I was commending TG on their new food trial. Maybe you can book a J ticket in the 380 to Narita and report your own impressions. That would contribute greatly to this thread. Otherwise we could insult each other on Thaivisa, a more appropriate platform for the intellectually challenged.
Sorry but I am not a member of Thaivisa and I have really no reason to insult you!

You have no clue what you talk about, but that's often not surprising. Holier than thou weasels are a dime a dozen my man.

I hope that clears things up.
