GIG-MIA J Meal Choice
 

Hi,

These are my meal choices for my upcoming GIG-MIA flight in Flagship Business.

• Braised Lamb Roulade
  almond crust, lamb jus, sweet potato purée, julienned carrots and zucchini
• Roasted Chicken Breast
  roasted half onion, creamy urucum sauce, bacon and egg farofa, roasted tomato
• Creamy Squid Ragoût
  cilantro rice, poached shrimp salad, chives
• Edamame Risotto
  grilled banana, grilled cheese curds

By chance does anyone have any pictures or details for the Roast Chicken Breast?

Thanks!

LHR>PHL in J yesterday; the Seafood Bouillabaisse was amazing! A little salty but otherwise great!

DFW/NRT
 

Upcoming award DFW/NRT choice is "Traditional Japanese Meal. Dainomono: Braised beef, sake steamed fish." Does this mean no noodles or greens? Has anyone had it? Other choices are prawns and steak. Oh, for the days of the cold seafood plate. Thanks, Julia

I had it in February DFW-NRT. It was fantastic. I would highly recommend it.

See my pics of the meal from my previous post up-thread here: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showpost.php?p=30755853&postcount=43

Thanks. Looks wonderful. I'll order. Julia

MIA - SCL next month. Any Recs?

LAX-HKG in F a few weeks from today. Leaning towards filling up at FFD (given the new SFO-LAX schedule has the last flight of the day arriving a full five hours before LAX-HKG :confused:) and getting the duck panang curry sometime mid-flight.

Main Plates: choice of Sliced Beef in Korean Style Soy Sauce, Cornfed Chicken Supreme, Seafood Boulibaise, or Green Pesto Gnocchi. I went with the chicken and it was pretty decent.

Dessert: Roasted Hazelnut and white chocolate tart

Service was decent in flight. Drinks refilled proactively and water bottles distributed. Have to say, the wine selection was atrocious. The cabernet (Imagery Cabernet Sauvignon) had really odd notes to it which made for a confusing wine. The Valpolicella (Corte Giara La Groletta Ripasso) was undrinkable. Better than BA? Of course. Going for great? Not really. But sad to say, I'm a happy campy these days with ontime departure and arrival with anything above that being a win.

The seabass is usually quite good.

Had the same small plate and salad yesterday on LHR/JFK, it was terrible...

J Meal selections -is it possible for AA to overcook a sous vide chicken breast? haha

Enjoyed a perfectly prepared Chilean sea bass during my CX flight last year -I suspect I'd be disappointed with AA's interpretation.
