What is the small bowl? Pic is not close enough to make out exactly.
I know a commercial cheddar filled mini crepe...

foie gras looking mighty large :D I can eat some of it, but that much I'd have to choke down.
Salmon, looks really nice tho.

Entree

I like eggplant, but that looks absolutely disgusting, from a presentation standpoint at least. it leaves no color and beauty of the eggplant.

Cheese Plate

CO BF beats this hands down ^

Dessert

very nice, is that green tea sorbet??

Pre-Arrival Meal
Do the oranges have cream on them? If not something looks funny about them.

not really picky, I am just adding comments, as I do with CO as well. CO hamburger is a horrible presentation most of the time. Soup is normally spilled on the sides badly, etc.

I am limited in my options realistically.

Never flown air china, but if you ever get the chance to fly Etihad in Biz or F, you will not be disappointed.

I flew Etihad to Oz last year in Pearl Biz - JFK-Abu-Dhabi-Sydney and return. On the AbuDhabi-Sydney leg I got an op-up to Diamond First....... fantabuloso..... the only complaint I had was that the seats were too big !!! Being so short, my legs didn't reach to floor when the seat was in the upright position.

The food was awesome. I think I took some photos. I'll have to see if I have them handy.

Going East costs 2x-3x more :(

I "found" flyertalk just about two or three days before my Oz trip, so wasn't into the taking photos, giving trip report mode and therefore failed in my duties as FlyerTalker....:(

but, I will attribute it to being a newbie ....:p

Starter - small bowl was tasty but hard to distinguish the content. I was still thinking the FA may have just left the bottle of Glenlivet after that pour.

Appetizer - everything on that plate was phenomenal (but I only ate a tiny bit of foie gras - not my desire). My intended entree was the duck confit but that was spoken for quickly.

Entree - the eggplant did have an excellent taste, though.

Cheese plate - this came with the entree but I couldn't get to the cheese until I had some of the 10-year port.

Dessert - the macaron was decadent.

Pre-Arrival meal - nothing odd on the fruit; all the neighbors had shades pulled during that course.

I've complained about this. I've also been told that there is nothing that can be done about it because the foil tops leak when the bowls tip at takeoff. How 'bout using a different container for the soup, or mounting the bowls in something that will rotate with the aircraft?:confused:

I lucked out SO big time. I think I must have gotten a mistake fare or something, because my fare was only around $4,900+/- for Biz. I saw it pop up on Kayak and booked it immediately. I never saw the fare again.
