If it is then it is not really not more choice than before, 3 out of the 4 Korean options are on their pre-order menus, Chinese also in their pre-order menus, the rest are available inflight if you don't pre-order.
It is the exact number of choices like for years they have done before if you had flown OZ F prior for flights out of ICN, instead you can now do it by email instead of calling.

However if you look at the actual menus, it listed all the choices (both pre-ordered and available inflight) similar to those you just saw from your email.

I previously had the Lobster, departing LAX in F.
It was almost impossible to turn down- hey it's lobster!! But in my opinion, it's just not a food that travels well onto an airplane. Check a similar feeling on TG in their pre-order meal section as well... I'd avoid Lobster.

Did you have the full half lobster in the shell as entree ? Or was it for appetizer ?
I hadn't had lobster as entree with OZ for a while, but in the past lobster was one of the regular entree in F like steak no matter long haul or short haul as long as it was F. (had lobster on ICN-HKG in F too !) OZ's lobster entree was comparable to SQ F's lobster thermidor !

Then they run out of Pol Roger Well - it is what it is... If this would happen on TG with Dom (never happened to me) there would already be 200 threads how inconsistent TG is... There were even some folks (non-Thais) complying that 'my Pad Thai incorrectly cooked'... Yes their Tesco or Walmart frozen Pad Thai is for sure better... I normally order lobster flying from CDG or FRA and is is excellent.

It was tasty, but just not really for me. As to whether that was inconsistent with TG, I can't say having only flown TG F once- but I think I would have chosen another menu item instead the next time I fly Asiana F.
