A quick thanks to the OUTSTANDING Galley FA for food prep and suggestions.

















AC still wants to serve shellfish and only a single appetizer option.

I asked to have the light bite tomato-bocconcini snack instead. Tray arrived and galley FA had plated it and that was such a nice touch and unexpected.

Menu said salad had beetroot and Parmesan. It did not. Either menu was wrong or catering found a cheaper substitute. Also, greens ex-YYZand YVR continue to be bitter.





The frozen vinaigrette provide a brief form of IFE





Seat mate had the beef.





I had the bibimbap. While the presentation was not as creative as on OZ and the portion size was much smaller, it had a really nice spicy flavour.














Fruit. Not frozen.

(and to be clear, the fruit on the dessert trays has never been frozen, it's most often the breakfast fruit)








First time having this tea.




Interesting taste.




Yes, the lemon tart dessert-porn....




Pre-arrival meal





I chose the Middle Eastern Koshari rice. The mix in the centre was spicy and had nice flavour. I did not eat the red sauce and I would have liked the cauliflower without the white sauce. It did not taste anything remotely like tahini. Menu also says eggplant and there was none that I could see.





Spicy chicken




Roast chicken legs

GREAT pics! Which bear zero resemblance to the "prepared by David Hawksworth" slop that was served in SS YVR - YYZ - YVR in December and January. For those of you who remember school dinners, you will relate. The beef in bechamel sauce and on the return sable fish with risotto (I think..) looked like they had been dropped onto the dish from a great height. and tasted of nothing. Dave (H) redeemed himself in the SigSuite but if I were him I'd be embarrassed that my name was associated with the 2 examples that were served to us on board. I know, I know, this post is about International SS but they are pushing the domestic catering "as prepared by Hawksworth" too. I really wished I had taken pics for everyone but was distracted by my seat which kept on deflating.... Seriously.
