Flew BR17 earlier this month, and received the Salvatore Ferragamo amenity kit, Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame champagne, and Jason Wu pajamas. Pre-ordered the Lobster, which was quite soft and not too large of a portion (truly a "supper service" before you pass out at 3 AM PST heh).

On BR31 right now. Really happy they are still serving Krug 2004. A lot of first classes don't serve that good champagne! The J cabin is full, but surprisingly not a lot of them are drinking the Krug, so I can keep it flowing.
The service is also beyond business class level. Maybe it helps if you can speak Mandarin, but I think you can feel it even if you don't. Okay they didn't proactively ask if I need anything after I waked up, but considering it's a full J cabin... Now I feel they deserve better treatment from BR than FAs at other carriers.
There are recent posts showing the CDG route is also serving Krug 2004.

I also wound up on a Hello Kitty flight TPE-NRT or maybe TSA-HND on the A330 a while back. It was still full-on Hello Kitty - pillows, menus, IFE, the hilarious toilet paper, in-flight meal, etc. - although with a cheaper champagne, so I assume something similar for the SIN route. I had no idea I had booked myself onto Hello Kitty and it was my first time experiencing it, so it was a real surprise to get on board and see all that!

Ex-TPE should still be Rimowa. I wound up on a Hello Kitty flight TPE-ORD last year and they were serving La Grand Dame Rosé.

I've heard the Hello Kitty TP is gone because people kept stealing it and so they'd run out early in the flight!

I recently flew TPE-CNX in J. Although this is a morning flight, I felt an obligation to the BR FT Community to report on the wine list. 
The champagne was Delamotte Blanc de Blancs NV. There were 2 reds, 2 whites, a port and a sherry offered. The French red was Chateau Le Monteil d'Arsac 2014, Haut-Medoc, Bordeaux. Plane was a A330, almost empty in J. I had excellent, attentive service.

do you like Krug for the name or the style? personally, I usually do not like the blend of Krug which typically has to much older vintages that comprise the same and if I wanted older, I would actually just select and older one. they are pretty much at the same level really although you can regularly get Krug for pretty cheap by the case depending on the state. i would certainly not put it on the top top shelf of bubbles. but each to their own.
