For SIN-EWR it looks like I can order 2 BTC meals. However the regular menu has one meal listed as "after take off and and another as "midflight onwards". I don't want to use a BTC on the Satay, but I really want to try it. It's on the menu under "midflight onwards" (and BTC). Does this mean there an option to order it onboard/via the FA? If I get 2 BTC meals, do I lose out on also ordering the satay onboard? I'm interpreting "midflight onwards" as the equivalent of the 2nd BTC meal so please let me know if this is wrong.
One last food question - does the SK lounge usually have Laksa or chicken rice? I'd like to order something from BTC that I can't find in the lounge and have never been to Singapore so I'd like to try them both. I'm definitely going to eat in the lounge during my long-ish layover.
Open to recommendations for BTC. These options that look good to me:
Beef Yakiniku
Ayam Percik Dan Nasi Ulam
Char Siew Wonton Noodle (is this going to be similar to the wonton mee on my first flight?)
Korean Braised Beef Short ribs
Lontong with Sambal Prawns and Serunding
Singapore Nasi Biryani
Buttermilk Waffle with Strawberry Coulis (not sure I'd use BTC on something I can order at a diner)
I know the lobster thermidor is a must-try and I love lobster but I the mustard and cream sauce don't sound appealing :/
Satay is served as an hors d'oeuvre before the main meal so you can basically have satay, the appetiser, then satay again if you so wish. The only difference is the serving size.
I believe wanton noodles are served in broth and char siu noodles are served dry with broth on the side.
All those BTC choices are wildly different so might help if you provide some preferences. I find the Yakiniku and short ribs quite heavy (one's fatty and the other is cloyingly sweet). The Malay dishes are spicy.
The ayam percik is marinated chicken with a sort of cold fried rice. Lontong is a rice cake. I usually like biryani but SQ can be quite inconsistent with their carbs and the one time I tried it the rice was mushy. Likewise with the noodles.
