AA 174 RDU-LHR
Business Class
Dinner (April 2018)
My first long-haul international J trip! I was so excited that I took pictures, then forgot about posting them until now. 6pm departure (that boarded early and I panicked I was going to miss!) and a relatively empty J cabin made for quick service. RDU-based crew was great as always!
The "salad" (I use the term loosely) tasted decent, although the presentation on a single leaf of lettuce doesn't really do it for me. The appetizer was a very delicious smoked salmon & cream cheese roll that was perfectly seasoned & served with a hard-boiled quail egg.
For entree, I pre-ordered the crab and shrimp cannelloni, which was served with some saffron shrimp. Tasted good and heated up well, even the pasta. The sauce was tasty, but a rather sloppy presentation. I was glad it was served on the side & only added a little bit to my pasta.
For dessert, I went with the cappuccino mousse. And a glass of port, because obviously.

CUN-ORD
Boeing 737-800 with Boeing Sky Interior
Lunch
Pre-departure beverage of choice. Pre-order acknowledged before takeoff!
Choices today were either Chicken Quesadillas with black beans or Vegetable Skewers with Couscous
Once in the air we were offered a hot towel, followed by drink of choice and barely warm mixed nuts.
I opted for the chicken quesadillas.
Also on the tray was a delicious large prawn. The side salad was bland and generic plastic container of salad dressing was cheap and hard to open. When it did, it exploded all over me. My roll choice of the wheat was barely warm and left quite a bit to be desired. The chicken quesadilla was only ok, and the black beans dry and bland. Dessert followed, which was a tiramisu. It was good...for airplane tiramisu and I appreciate the effort. Refills were kept up throughout the flight from the friendly crew. I passed out after the meal service thanks to the cool cabin! A mint waited for me at my seat when I woke up prior to landing! ^
Overall, a good flight!

What did you end up getting? Similarly torn...
Flying PVG to LAX.
Any suggestions?
Grilled Beef Filet
mushroom-herb crust, snow peas, sweet corn mash, peppered port wine jus
Crab-Stuffed Shrimp
curried vegetable Singapore noodles, silken bean curd, toasted sesame seeds
Char Siu Chicken
Yunnan-style long grain rice with mango, roasted Brussels sprouts, plum sauce
Chinese Scallion Pancake Lasagna
mushroom, cabbage, mozzarella, hoisin sauce
Leaning towards chicken or beef as I'm not a fan of curried vegetables, but I do like seafood too so this is hard to choose.
