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.
Ok thanks , so no Tournedos on AF. I can't remember the alternatives, but have the menu, so I ask you when I find it,- before flying again next week.

"Their languedoc is quite good for a languedoc" what would you estimate is the price range for this languedoc ? Agree very good.. !
