- I think he's a bit overcritical on the seats - he got a Zodiac FB2. Wait til he gets one of those real regionals...
- 12K cupboard top filth was inexcusable for the first flight of the day
- Yes CX (external) aircraft presentation aren't the greatest
- That wasn't the greatest breakfast (broken skin and a very watery egg plate) (OK I usually avoid the western breakfast on CX flights so I haven't seen one recently)
- Staff forgot his coffee first time (wasn't a full flight)

I thought he was a little overcritical. But then again I never held the expectation of CX that he did.
(I also wonder what kind of choice he thinks he has? If he went on JL736, he'll tear apart the Shell Flat Neo seats)

While his earlier reviews were (often) interesting to watch, this one is nothing more than a nitpicking grumpy old man, with disappointing "review" quality.
