Night time buffet ice-cream was not that good, can't remember brand..
Do not take the steak/tournedos (whatever they call it) on AF. The problem is not meat quality but their old galley technology. it cannot really grill the steak but more kind of microwave or boil it. So it is either cold and uncooked or dry and dark like a shoe. Unfortunately steak is your only option exJFK!
My experience from HKG is that their catering is not great, especially the sorbets. Still, I do not find the food inferior to CX in J.
I have not flown exHKG this month, so cannot make recommendation.
Their languedoc is quite good for a languedoc, but still not my kind of wine. Their red Bordeaux is some 2007 obscure (cheap) cru bourgeois, much too young. Their white bourgogne is cheap and tasteless. Their non-vintage Billecart Salmon champagne which can be found at €25 in supermarkets is unfortunately worth its price.
