Just did a LHR-SCL-LHR trip, with my wife and all the associated meals were excellent other than one atrocious one:
CCR: Starters: Caesar salad with chicken / Prawn and samphire salad. Mains: Chicken breast / Trout - everything excellent!
On board LHR- SCL: My wife assured me that the tomato amuse bouche was lovely (I don't like tomatoes!)
Starters: Salmon roll / Chicken and leek Terrine. Big ticks here
Mains: Lamb / Dover sole - My lamb was fantastic, although, I recall that it has had a bit of a slating earlier in this thread. The sole was great, too
Dessert: We both had the crepes Suzette - absolutely delicious
Latam lounge prior to return: I was pleasantly surprised by the standard of this lounge. Ambience wise, I would rate it better than the Galleries 1st at T5 almost on a par with CCR. It had a small selection of excellent hot meals, from the buffet and plenty of cold snack options.
On board SCL-LHR:
Amuse bouche: again, being Mr Fussy, I don't like mushrooms, so didn't bother, but apparently it was 'nice'.
Starters: Weboth had the duck, which was really good
Mains: My Beef was very tasty albeit slightly tough and my wife thoroughly enjoyed her salmon.
Desserts: My wife had the last of the most excellent 'Warm apple Tate tatin' , denying me my fitch choice, however the ice cream was surprisingly good.
Breakfast: Ah now we have a problem.... The so-called 'scrambled egg' was a congealed mass of peculiar tasting grey congealed mass. the sausage tasted dreadful (it resembled a plasticy miniature hot dog. Then there was a small pile of essentially raw potatoes. The 'bacon' was a couple of squares of fat, hiding thin slithers of meat, again with an awful taste!
I shall try to upload photos
