Also, you can mix and match options and switch up the times and meal options ex: You can have breakfast for dinner and vice versa.

I somehow missed this thread after my last CX TPACs.
Is this thread only for F meals or a J flyer meals welcome?
(since there is no CX F to or from YYZ)
I will say that CX 829 had excellent cabin service, the dinner appetizer and dessert were fantastic, the main dish, well, the vegetables were fine. The breakfast was hit and miss - fantastic fresh squeezed o juice and superb croissants, but the hot dish was meh. Of course, also available were cereals and yogurt and the usual other options.
Yes, that’s French on the the cereal boxes. Welcome to Canada.
I have 4 CX flights coming up including the 2 TPAC. I’ll add those in when I’m back.

Question:
I've really enjoyed Book the Cook on all my SQ flights. I also had a nice selection of choices to pre-order on BR. AA and BA also have pre-order options.
Is there a reason CX does not offer it - at least on the long-hauls? Thanks.

I have a trip coming up in Cathay Business Class in December (LAX-HKG CX 881). I was debating on whether to just eat the regular meals or to try and order the special meal. Since the flight leaves so late (just after midnight), I was thinking of the fruit plate maybe. Anyone try it recently or recommend another special meal or the regular meal service?

I was totally unimpressed by the catering. All three main choices were unexciting and the salted chicken was so tasteless that I did not finish. I am happy to trade NH's Y meal with CX J meal on HK-Japanese route.
Crew were impeccably fantastic though.

Is any given posted menu the same menu for the entire month in J for that route? Is there any kind of rotation at all internationally?

The strip was tough and nearly inedible. Filet would have been a much better choice.

Considering I will be landing in ICN at like 6am when most restaurants will still be closed, I'm leaning towards a full meal (special if available). Will layoff the drinks and snacks closer to boarding so I make sure to have an appetite by the time I get on the flight.
