1. In the past on long TATL flights with AC, we had ordered the Lacto-Ovo and it was really good. We were in Y for all those flights.
2. Based on previous experience on some of my TPACs, I found I could not eat some of the dishes that comes what the meal, or some of the ingredients.
When you look at my posted photos, you'll see that I note that I did not eat the duck appetizer. I don't eat duck. I don't eat prawns. Some of the sauces are a problem.
As for that meal with the pasta and beans, the salad and fruit side dishes were fine, but the main course was not and the breakfast was gross.
I should post the photos of a vegetarian meal I had on BR TPE-HKG (a 1.5 hour flight). One of the best airline meals ever .
