BA034 / KUL-LHR / 18th June

Soup was excellent, and sounded much better than the other starter options.



For some stupid reason I decided to have the Chicken Satay Roulade, despite warnings about its quality from further up in this thread.
It was hideous! The blue rice tasted like Fairy Liquid. The (wonderful) cabin crew seemed quite embarrassed about this dish, and said they keep feeding back to HQ that passengers are finding it inedible!

Skipped desert, managed about 6 hours sleep (aided by the excellent Bordeaux), then had the fruit and pancakes for breakfast. Very nice, and washed down with a few glasses of Buck's Fizz!
Unfortunately both our checked bags got lost, so after quite a stressful time filling in the reports we went to the Concorde Arrivals Room for breakfast. Idiotically, we went through quite a few bottles of the Cuvee Louise to drown our sorrows. Bags have still yet to turn up (Eagle Aviation are apparently sorting it...), and my jet-lag is atrocious!

Still, despite the pretty inconsistent catering, we had a good flight thanks to the excellent cabin crew.
