I ended up having the lamb on TPE-JFK and it was very good. My friend pre-ordered the scallop and shrimp which he said was amazing. It surprised me how many people hadn't pre-ordered on our flight. Hum...
Other general comments. Service was amazing. Those Taiwanese flight attendants were almost running around and squeezing around others carts to get their food and drinks out. Maybe they wanted to just finish to be able to rest but they were WORKING! Tons of smiles from all the staff. I was so full after the multiple glasses of Dom, appetizer, entree, the dessert, and fresh fruit that I had no room left for the cheese. Sigh.
I slept during the flight so I didn't get to try the dim sum snack. Doh!!
And lastly, they did serve us champagne before take off.
