Mid flight tapas (Dan Dan Noodle) was served immediately upon request. Very obvious it had been sitting in an oven or something. A lot of the noodles were dried out / crunchy and stuck to the bowl.

Arrival meal again one of my better of late. Eggs and sausage were moist and plentiful.

Service was mostly ok. As soon as I boarded (literally, I was putting my roller board in the bin) the FA was asking about my meal choice. Only thing on offer pre-departure was sparkling wine. When I asked about an ice water, I was told I had a bottle of water at my seat.
After that rocky start, things got better.
