Totally agree - the SQ J bed on their current 777 and A350 product is the most diabolically uncomfortable business class flat bed I have experienced, period. Plus the angle makes it feel awkward and exposed, with a horribly bulky airbag-equipped seatbelt crushing your vital organs (so much so I had to leave it unbuckled if I wanted to sleep - and I'm a tall and slim guy... no idea how larger folk cope). Honestly I don't find it very comfortable as a seat either. The updated A380 product is fine, though NZ beds still much more comfortable.

However, and to get this back on track (sort of), on my last SQ flight in J SIN-SYD I requested Seared lamb loin from Book the Cook, and I have to say it was superb. Not a huge serving, but everything on the plate was delicious and the meat clearly of excellent quality, the tomatoes were properly vine-ripened and flavourful. The Bordeaux was great too. It's hard to see in the picture, but there were crushed potatoes underneath. Also, it's a large plate, unlike NZ's serving ware, so the serving is not as small as it looks. I'm far from an SQ fanboy, but this was in a different league to anything I've eaten on NZ for at least the last 3 years.
