I will be on BR56 on Royal Laurel prior to CNY holiday. Call it, a late birthday gift. 
This will be my first time doing a long haul on Royal Laurel, previous time being a PEK-TPE hop I did about 3 years ago.
Questions:
1. I see the menu already but will BR offer Californian wines on this flight? Or is it the usual French Bordeaux options with another 2 options from a non France country?
2. What is the whiskey being offered by BR now? I remember it was Johnnie Walker Black Label when I took it last time and the Kavalan whiskey. Has this changed?
3. Is the champagne still Cliquot?

Departing Taipei on BR52 end of this month the menu is worse than before.
As usual, no lobster
Which option you guys suggest?
Either on board Cod Fish or Sauteed seafood.

What is even more surprising is that this menu was TPE-SFOs menu LAST month. I think it has to partly do with the fact IAH is getting only 68% LF, compared to the high 70s and 80s the rest of their routes are getting.

Wait so if LF is high wouldn't they reduce food quality 
LF is low so they should increase food quality to beat NH and CA.

January ORD-TPE (BR55) looks almost completely different than previous menus:
Dinner:
Breakfast:
Anything on here look familiar or any thoughts? Probably doing the congee for breakfast (every omelette I've had in the air tastes like a reheated frozen omelette and can't do sweet that early) but torn between the lamb, filet, and gratinated lobster.
Dinner:
- Lamb of Rack[sic] with Rosemary Jus Served with Mixed Vegetables and Polenta
- Lobster with Cashew Nuts and Braised Pork Served with Steamed Rice and Mixed Vegetables
- Braised Beef Noodle Soup Served with Traditional Delicatessens
- (Online Exclusive) Grilled Chicken Stuffed with Ricotta and Prosciutto Served with Rosmary-Mashed Potato and Mixed Vegetables
- (Online Exclusive)Prime Beef Filet with Coriander Olive Oil Served with Wasabi Puree and Vegetables
- (Online Exclusive)Gratinated Lobster with young vegetables
Breakfast:
- Plain Congee Served with Traditional Delicatessens,Egg Pancake with Shrimp,Braised Tofu with Mushroom
- Mixed Vegetable Omelette Served with Grilled Bacon
- Crepe with Sweet Curd and Cherry Coulis

Rack of lamb is the same old as usual.
The beef noodle soup is to die for. Try that.

Perhaps we're seeing the first symptoms of cost-cutting fall out from the management change after that ridiculous family feud nonsense. Taiwanese businesses have a rather unsettling tradition of reaching the epitome of success, then throwing it all away in a fury of stupidity, HTC being the gold-standard example. Let's hope EVA maintains the high standards established by the previous CEO that propelled it to international success.
