It appears that I had the old catering on 881 and 882. No seatside pouring, old salt/pepper shakers. Explains things.
The claypot rice dish was available ex HKG and I joked that I would get it if it was cooked on charcoal. Impossible on a plane, I know.

Just flew back on Dec 3 from JFK (CX841). Yup, still that horrible caviar by King Imperial and old style catering on my flight. Also they did not serve champagne on the ground ex-JFK. Crew claimed it was due to breakfast service but we all know very well why they couldn't serve champagne as PDB...
FYI Krug 2004 is back on my flight; that is probably the only highlight out of the entire menu. CX F catering is seriously behind the competition.

Yes this is due to CX841 breakfast service during winter months. But still, not having bubbly as pre-departure beverage in F cabin on their flagship route (JFK being the most expensive F route in their network) is just plain cheap; no other words to put it.

Even numbered months would be the way to go then, Krug and Cathay Delight!

Probably not that important but the menu and welcome card has already changed its colour, from Green to Silver. I’d say quite fast for a change given the new service was just rolled out a few months ago. Although I did ask the cabin crew whether this was seasonal but they said it’s a complete change.

The hunter green was beautiful and consistent with the PYE pyjamas.

HKG-LAX had William Deutz Millesime 2006 as well on Jan 6th; while I was looking forward to the 2004 Krug the Deutz was good and I managed to have 3 glasses before takeoff so guess I can't say I didn't enjoy it
