2. No flowers on the wall mounted vase.
3. Amenity kit case is now a very plain looking Aesop one. I love Aesop products, but the case is not good looking. I even prefer the Agnes B ones they distribute in J. Too bad they stopped distributing the Tumi or Zegna kits.

I love CX F seat, but meals are still the least impressive part of the flights (huge chunk of steak doesn't always mean it's a good slab of meat).

On my HKG-ORD flight, I was seated in 2A and during taxiing prior to take off, all I could hear was the purser discussing her work details with another attendant - she was very loud.

The very comfy seat and the cabana at HKG's lounge are 2 most favorite things about CX F.
On 2/14 I was on CX ORD-HKG in F and agree with OP.

No flowers in the holders
The evening meal ala beef cheeks was not good at all and very fatty
Burger was good
My chinese travelling companion said all asian meals sucked! No flavor

Service by the FAs was good. Had the Cathay Delight and their newest drink with rose water both good.

Cabanas excellent but lounge food was sub-par! The noodle bar for J passengers was much better & preferred.
