I think the new meals are only available out of Bangkok. I travelled TG910 23 November, my view:
The service was notably better and everything is served individually on nice plates but on my flight the food choice on the menu was awful: a couple of noodle soups, som tum which they did not have (not loaded apparently). There was not a single Thai dish with rice! I asked " don't you have anything else and they gave me a tenderloin with soggy potatoes.
I have seen on another thread a huge choice shown on a menu on a Japan route so can only conclude they only loaded the snack menus (plus a tenderloin from somewhere) and forgot the main menu.
Breakfast was good, much better than previous.

New service is currently on TG910/911. I flew TG910 last week and it was new service. It didn't matter much since TG910 is a night flight but they do offer 5-6 all day dine menus that can be ordered at any time such as noodles (not instant noodles), grilled pork sate, etc.
I heard that new service on TG916/917 will begin soon.

Expansion of New Meal Service
is there a published timetable on expanding the new meal service to the other European routes? I am on TG 921 in Feb. and the upgraded meal service would be a pleasant surprise.

Just took a flight to BKK from Melbourne. Can confirm that the new meal service with a choice of mains similar to the ones above are already in full swing. I was flying a 77W with the new configuration however. I read somewhere that they were only able to offer this type of meal service with new food prep equipment found on my on their newer aircraft?
