This noodle variety is an upgraded (yes we use that term in the noodle world as well) over the variety it replaced. On sight, it looks like the contents might be too large for the lacquered noodle bowl.

How much did the old bowls cost? It's just noodles and a snack option. How is this a significant devaluation?

The new AC one is definitely a better variety than the old one. The old one is exactly the same as the one AC sold BOB in North American flights. The challenge is overcoming the lazy FA who would invariable try to convince you that the 2nd meal would be served momentarily. Did I really want a bowl of noodle soup with some dim sum to go with it?

I am however pissed that both times I had upgraded YYZ-HKG during the partnership with Lah Wah Heen for catering I was downgraded because of the A340 being swapped down.
It would be nice to have some more creative J catering back on long-haul routes.
