I skipped the dinner service on this flight and only took breakfast after waking. My first course was the Greek yogurt, apricot compote and toasted granola with nuts - a standard QR affair, which is to say somewhat bland.





Next up was the sole fish congee with soya sauce - almost a must out of HKG, despite HKG having a less than stellar reputation for catering.





The seasonal fresh fruits followed.





With QR's renown for desserts I couldn't pass up the opportunity to try the warm chocolate cake with raspberry compote from the late night dining menu. The raspberry compote itself was a little overpowering in this dish, and presentation was unusually off point.

This Qsuite experience commenced upon boarding with a glass of rosé champagne and warm nuts.



A beef amuse-bouche was offered to start the lunch service.





The Balik style salmon with saffron labneh was excellent.





My main course of braised shank and herb roasted cutlet of lamb was restaurant quality.





I concluded lunch with the excellent vanilla and blueberry cheesecake, which was another masterclass in inflight catering presentation.





Chocolates completed the meal.



Two good QR flights, although the ex-HKG catering was notably a notch below QR's usual standards.
