I have had a BA F wonton soup out of HKG before and it was fine, edible but nothing better and somewhat lacking in flavour for a wonton soup made in Hong Kong. Can't comment on the ex-LHR version.

Hmm... that's really weird because it is completely different from the LHR-SIN CW menu I had twice this month! Can you confirm what were your travel dates, as I almost wonder if it was a delayed or early start to the monthly rotation?

The vast majority of menu dishes get recycled every few months. Occasionally, one disappears or another reappears or one gets changed for whatever reason, but the beef fillet with smoked mashed potatoes has been a regular. I tried it once despite my natural worry towards steak on planes because the alternatives I had did not tempt and I loved smoked things generally, but it was really poor, with the cabbage proving an unwelcome watery base to everything else. I find BA risotti invariably overcooked which makes them feel stodgy though I tasted this one and the taste itself was fine. I'd personally choose the pork rib as Chinese mains are usually decent (I believe that they are prepared by a separate caterer).
