Sorry for my ignorance but is Chef on Call just a fancy name for 'pre-order your main course'? I recently flew MH NRT-KUL which had the chef on call feature, I did not notice any chef aywhere, nor was there a call button for him/her??
Cabin service on the flight was excellent, food was nothing special.
Chef of Call to me brings the idea of having a chef onboard who would maybe discuss your meal preferences and then prepare them accordingly (TK have something like this as one of ther cabin crew is dressed up as a chef and in charge of preparing the meals).
yes, chef on call, much like Singapore Airlines' Book-the-Cook, is a pre-order feature for MH J/F passengers. It essentially expands your choices of meals on board. There are no on-board chefs, and 'on-board chefs' on airlines like TK are really more of a show than anything as they don't actually cook the meal.
