Grilled Seabass with Senteur Provence Sauce
One suggestion - when reviewing the meal options, if you see ingredients that don't really exist in real life (ie, try finding a recipe online for 'Senteur Provenence Sauce), it's probably a good bet to avoid it. BR has a habit of making up fancy names for some of the dishes and accompaniments (ie, 'traditional delicatessen' which the rest of us know is corned beef or pastrami on rye, not thousand year egg and pickled vegetables), which can have an interesting result once onboard.

I actually did google the name of the sauces anf found hints that it could have been good.
Will try my luck again on my way back. So far, BR has failed to wow me.

I'm curious, which business products would be considered "wow"? Apart from Etihad's hard product and Singapore, I can't think of an airline that does J better than Eva.

As noted in this FT post, it is unfortunate that reviews - especially by known travel bloggers - must be taken with a grain of salt.

I had the pan-fried duck breast on my TPE-LAX flight, and it was.... terrible. The meat had no flavor and the texture tough. I had to send it back. The sea bass that I got subsequently was much better.

My upcoming SEA-TPE flight shows Lunch & Refreshing Meal: https://booking.evaair.com/flyeva/EV...&Flight=BR0023
Each meal offers 3 main courses. Is "refreshing" an abbreviated meal service with perhaps less choices in the appetizer & desert options in comparison to the Lunch ones?
With a 11:30 / 15:10 departure /arrival, it looks like both meals would be served around lunch time in their respective time zones.

I've ordered it twice ex-TPE now and thought it was one of the better BR offerings I've had. YMMV I guess.

Refreshing is just that they serve the breakfast courses they offer with a different name.
