Maybe SQ and JL but CX j class regional meals are definitely better than TG. I actually find the CX meals have improved recently for eg on the SIN flights they serve some local stuff such as laksa and chicken rice which is delicious.

Now I've realised that this is a completely subjective matter. I totally respect your taste and preference and tend not to argue about it.

Flew to KL end July on CX J and meals were ok too. Nothing compared to SQ true but is a big improvement from last year.

Let’s face it, as long as I can remember the food on CX J has never been great. I’ve had a couple of conversations with CX staff at MPO events about the quality (or lack thereof) of J class food (or slop in a casserole as it’s sometimes described). Varying responses have included “our research tells us people love our J class food”, “our ovens can only cope with casseroles so we can’t galley plate our J class food like other airlines” and “I agree totally however Management will not allow us to make any further investment in F&B”. I don’t fly CX for the food which is fortunate otherwise I would have defected long ago. And frankly, I can’t see it improving any time soon.

A few points I would like to share here...

1. I am sorry to hear that you didn't know CX Regional J offers Y headset - indeed as a quality noise cancelling headset is not that expensive, I got my own rather than waiting for CX to offer it for free.
2. I am sorry to learn that you didn't know CX Regional J offers Y TV size and that's not AVOD.
3. I am sure CX will be encouraging to learn that you didn't find their Regional J seat THAT bad - be perfectly honest, I didn't find anything wrong with their regional seat until I sited in a SQ or TG flight (as I have to travel to somewhere CX doesn't fly to sometimes). In fact I even found J seats in some of the KA A330 seats are way better as well. We say it's bad when we compare CX to its regional competitors - not to compare with its own Y seats.
4. CX regional J food quality is below what I had with SQ/MH/TG/JL. I accept your "wasn't as bad as expected" comment as they are indeed still eatable and probably still better than their Y catering.

Bottom line for me, I won't find anything wrong with CX's regional J food/services if I am just op-up to J from Y - as I only paid for a Y seat. But I do find it's not worth the money when I pay for my J seat, especially when comparing to some other J seats I paid in the region.
