Thanks - I just tried to change my selection 26 hours before my flight tomorrow but all the other selections looked pretty grim so I'm planning not to be too hungry when I board the flight So disappointing.

Rather the dish comprises of 3-4 jumbo shrimps neatly arranged on top of the plate, which are glazed with a dilute, mild coating of sauce. There was al dente steamed broccoli and carrot medallions, and boiled yellow noodles tossed with olive oil, on the side.

The dish tasted every bit as flavourless as my description.

When the stewardess presented my dish, I almost thought she had gotten the item wrong.

Sorry it didn't occur to me to have snapped and shared a picture.
