and it worked out that it was indeed MXI - which was nice to be able to cross off my list.

Breakfast services tend to be just the normal breakfast options served in a single tray (bread, fruits, hot main, and yogurt) and a coffee/tea service afterwards.
Lunch and Dinner services tend to be more elaborate on >3 hour flights, with an appetiser/salad served separately from the main.
Given the food quality, at least on ex-Indonesia or ex-KL flights, I wouldn't consider upgrading to J unless if it was dirt cheap to do so, or if you want the extra space.

I would not go for J unless it's real cheap. Very average and poorly maintained recliner seats. Nothing particularly to mention for food. Not quite an enjoyment.

Well, I’d think it depends on a whole lot of other factors... on a completely packed KUL-MAA flight (or worse yet, a red eye MAA-KUL flight), even though it’s 3.5hrs, I’d take J anytime if I could...
Now, if you’re talking a half-full mid-day KUL-DPS flight where there’s space between passengers, or you even get a whole row, then yes, not as big of a need there...

Depends on your time of departure really.

There was an awesome sale that just ended last week @ KUL-HKG for RM 1,300
Any particular reason why u didn't book the morning flight to HKG on the A330?
Schedule conflict?
I'm not particularly a big fan of the MH 737, not even the ones with the IFE system.
The interior is just so worn out & old ...
When is your flight?
I've got 2 trips to HKG in Aug. so if u would like some pics of the meal svc. I'd be glad to post them on the A330 thread.
I took the same flight last May, I think the meal svc was pretty short & sweet so that the pax could get more rest (the crew as well, I suppose)

I'd probably go for the upgrade to J, depending on how much it'll cost ..
