For confidentiality reasons, I cannot post pictures or much specifics. A new test run will be happening on select flights begins ex-HKG to JFK next week.

Among changes:
*Candles (presumably electric) will be served on J class trays, and be collectable souveniers for pax.
*A soup bowl will be filled in the galley from a thermos and presented on the tray as an appetizer. This is not a supper meal service, but rather as part of a full dinner.
*Changes coming to the bread, butter and salad selections and plating.
*New menu cards and wine lists
*Other changes
*I have not seen details of any main course changes, and whether or not that will be affected.

From what I can tell, there are significant changes to this select service during the nuts, drinks, appetizer part of the meal, as well as general presentation changes and service flows. Also from what I can tell this is only a test run for now.

Whilst I cannot include more details, I am certain others who are close to CX will be seeing / have already seen some of these changes and can post in due course.

CX846 on Monday (Nov 9) will be the first AFAIK to have this.
