Based on your description of the WBC food, I would say that the gap between WBC and a good extra leg room coach seat (e.g., row 8 on the MD-11) has narrowed a bit.

It's not a matter of poor quality ingredients, necessarily. It's the bloody menus themselves that seem to be have been designed by school children having a "gross out" contest. Smoked eel creme? Mint chicken? I know we've already had this discussion and a number here think I'm being lowbrow for wanting plain old meat and potatoes but for crying out loud!

Not one single person in ES touched their meal. Eel creme returned unopened. In WBC, the beef was poked at and stirred around, rolls and salad eaten, scallops with raspberry creme covered by a napkin, and on to dessert. But you can forget about dessert AND cheese! One per customer, sir.

And has anyone noticed that the SkyBreak basket has now changed to a little cardboard box with a few trial-size chocolate bars and that's it?

Absolutely horrible, every aspect of KL business class catering. I feel an ad campaign coming on...
