Although the SYD-AKL J menu looks pretty pedestrian in terms of the food, admittedly it looks better than what is offered on QF, LA and NZ J menus (with the possible exception of NZ Business Premier).
In saying that, the difference between what seems delicious when visualising a printed menu and what the food actually tastes like in reality are two very, very different things; i.e. this trip report.
