Also, it could have been longlife not frozen (as was my outbound meal).
Thirdly, Singapre does have several kosher vendors (even if none of them currently produce meals), so I don't think it's superfluous to say that it was frozen.
FWIW, I have had excellent FRESH kosher airline meals (not frozen) from, amongst others, Sydney, Frankfurt, London, Tel Aviv, Vienna, Zurich, Bangkok and Hong Kong. All made same day (or previous) .
Didnt know SYD was same day. Which brand did you have out of HKG that it was Fresh? Ive gotten Hermolis a couple of yrs ago on CO it wasnt Fresh as Hermolis AFAIK only makes its meals in London. The last couple of times on UA I got KoshAir.Is BKK a hit or miss? = you got lucky that the day you were flying was the day they cooked.I just dont see enough of a demand that would lend them to prepare meals on a daily basis
Tel Aviv isnt always fresh either, try flying out a day or 2 after Pesach you will still get a Kosher for Pesach meal. The only way to know for sure its Fresh is if theres a salad on the tray. I know Hermolis delivers almost everyday, but Ive been in the BA F lounge and been told they havent gotten any meals in a few days and they ran out earlier in the day from what they had on hand, How true that was I dont know but thats what I was told
I think the Only 2 mkts where theres enough of a demand to actually have Fresh meals daily is NY and TLV. Not saying they arent available elsewhere just that the demand isnt there.
