From memory I had
AKL-LAX
Marinated king prawns
Lobster and Waikanae crab soup
Chickpea, bean and eggplant timbale Freshly tossed salad
Kapiti ginger passion and chocolate ice cream with wild berry compote
Cheese and Fruit
+ assorted drinks
SFO-AKL
Sun dried tomato goat cheese ravioli
Sweet corn ginger chestnut soup
Sauteed fillet of cod
Freshly tossed salad
Organic ice cream selection with fresh berries
Cheese and Fruit
+ assorted drinks
All were very tasty, though as usual a struggle to get through and had to leave some to save room for later courses.
It's not a fair comparison between SQ business and NZ first, but from my limited experience I think NZ first is better and even in business NZ is more consistently good. However, I think SQ does better at ensuring every menu has a good light meal option.
