We were about 5 mins late pushing off waiting for last minute but sadly, no headwind, 5 hrs exact flying time to Vancouver tonight
About 10 mins taxiing out to 31L, we took off just around 11:25pm
Turning around New York City and making our way towards the Northwest
This flight has the newest interface of StudioCX which I find was kinda lagging and slower compared to the one being used for the last 3 to 4 years

As everyone else know, catching me on a good day or a bad day for CX in this case and I eat like a boar…
Norli and Audrey were the 2 CX FAs in First today and they were just awesome
Starter Drink – Johnny Walker Blue Label with some Coke Zero chase
Dining Presentation
Bread Basket, special catered to all Garlic Bread
Appetizer - Smoked Salmon carpaccio with avocado creme fraiche timbale and capers
I agree with SFO777, mine was equally just as good
Flying over Niagara, hi home!
Sadly halfway through our meal, apparently CX only catered half a bottle of JW Blue so it’s already completely finished by the two of us
Back to eating
Salad - Caesar salad with marinated prawns
Was way too much cheese and prawns, could use more than 3 pieces of lettuce
Chinese Appetizer - Vegetarian duck
Essentially it’s Bean Curd wrapped in Shiitake Mushroom, sadly it was missing malt vinegar, don’t know why CX doesn’t cater vinegar for it
Main Course - Stir-fried lobster with scallion and ginger, steamed jasmine rice, kailan with black mushroom and carrot flower
Lobster was wonderful, tasted flavorful and rice and kalian was cooked correctly, couldn’t say the same about the lobster in June sadly
Cheeseboard
Never been a big fan personally so I’m reserving this for Jfkeze
Dessert
Pralines
After the meal, decided to get the bed made, was around 1:15am eastern when the service finish, off for some sleep.
