While I don't have much of a sweet tooth I found the blueberry cheesecake delicious but surprisingly small in size. I realize US dessert portions when dining out are often grotesquely oversized, but this was the opposite extreme, almost doll-like in proportion.

Separately, I am disappointed that there is not a pre-order opportunity for the return trip. I wish that would become a uniformly available option.
Are you on a wide body? Or a flight that's between 800-899 miles?
