CX VLML in J
What is the Cathay Pacific Business class VLML breakfast like ex-AU?
Partner and I are sick of the egg option with sausage and bacon, the pork dim sum or congee. We're not a fan of processed meats or rice porridge and dim sum seems to be more a lunch option. They don't seem to serve anything else for breakfast besides a variation of these three.
Anyone ever requested the VLML in Business? What's that like?

Thanks Ausriver for the trivia. I should imagine it would come in handy at some point...

Am I the only one that does not know what VLML means? :-)
After reading, I presume it has something to do with vegetarian, but now I'm curious what the acronym stands for...

You can probably consider NBML - no beef meal as well.
Ex-HKG economy class sometimes gets salmon with eggs or fish with potato wedges or cheungfun (i.e. rice noodle roll) for breakfast which I think it's definitely an upgrade comparing to normal choices. I guess business class meals are probably even better.
Not sure about ex-AU though.

OP should perhaps ask for VOML - which is vegetarian oriental style.. which is vegan but vegetarian prepared Chinese style.. so its usually fried noodles, or rice with monks vegetables and usually accompanied by a steamed bun. Its actually very nice.. over the regular VGML dishes.

Vegan = VGML
Vegetarian meal, which contains eggs and dairy = VLML

But anyway, it is available to book online under MANAGE MY BOOKING even without a proper code:

Just due to interest, I also checked SQ website, they name it NBMLM:

Flying in F JFK-HKG. I am wanting to know the differences between VLML (Lacto Ovo) vs Veggie Oriental. I am intrigued by the Oriental meal...but the no garlic or ginger etc, makes me wonder if it's too bland....and go for the VLML....any help would be appreciated.
