I agree that you need to be attuned to a Chinese palette to appreciate MU's catering (and on this flight, they actually said they serve Chinese food), but I've seen improvement in the last three years I've flown them and there's definitely worse catering than MU's.
Ah, I assume you flew MU 578? Yeah, for those who are not used to eating Chinese food, it can be a slight challenge to eat MU's food. Yeah. the food for my 4 MU flights in these past two weeks was okay. I do remember last year the pork rice from PVG to LAX was bad to the point of being inedible, but every other meal I had on MU for 8 flights has been a normal economy meal.
