It certainly sounds as if there are significant issues where CoC fulfilment is concerned. Disappointing to hear these reports.
I can only imagine this is a fairly recent (?), and hopefully temporary, degradation in standards because - as recounted in my post #122 upthread - in the case of my last four sectors with MH, ex LHR to & from ADL, there were no such issues.
Admittedly, the two longer sectors were in F, and service was nothing short of outstanding (perhaps not least due to me being the one & only pax in F on the return KUL-LHR). But things also went very smoothly to & from ADL service & catering-wise.

Booked CoC SYD-KUL return (depart tomorrow, return this weekend). Will report back what it's like - hopefully better than some of the experiences above.
But all I did was email them and they promptly replied that the reservation had been made. And when I say promptly, it was within 5 minutes (x 4 bookings/people).

I tested this last week on LHR-KUL and SYD-KUL.
Both confirmed via email weeks before departure.
The lamb biryani served on LHR-KUL was excellent, closer to a spicy lamb curry than biryani.
For the SYD-KUL flight I had ordered a chicken curry but was asked before take off if it was ok that the chicken had turned into barramundi. I was so tired that I didn't want anything to eat so asked her to offer it to others.
Overall I found the food good on the 4 flights I took, better than BA or CX in J.

Was on MH123 (KUL - SYD overnight flight). Tried cref on call. Very easy to pre order via email and went for the lamb shank.
However I didn't know I was pre ordering breakfast rather than dinner... Tried swapping it in the morning for a more normal breakfast but apparently all other breakfast offerings were taken by the other passengers. The lamb shank was very nice and I would choose it again for a day flight - but maybe not the lightest breakfast!

I'm struggling to find an email address - where did you email to order?
Thanks

Have booked the Lamb Shank (KULA) and Beef Rib (KULB) for my wife and I's flight from KUL to INC.
For the return we've booked the Beef Tenderloin (INCA) and Ttuk Kalbi Korean Style Braised Beef (INCB).
Will write a review on these.

MH Chef on Call is much much better when it's not ex-KUL (damn Brahim's and their terrible catering).
The Lamb Shank was ok but my wife's Beef Rib was very tough.
Lamb Shank KULA
Beef Rib KULD
Ex-ICN, they got my order wrong! I ordered the Ttuk Kalbi Korean Style Braised Beef (INCB) but they gave me the vegetarian instead! (INCD). My wife's Beef Tenderloin was excellent though (INCA). I managed to get a Halibut dish from the stewardess. It was ok but not as good as the pre-ordered beef.

'Chef-on-Call' suggestions for C ex-KUL?
I'm flying in business PNH-KUL-LHR later this week. There seem to be five 'Chef-on-Call' options and they are all Western fare. I remember MH having excellent Malaysoan food; is there a reason there is no Malaysian options?
If anyone has any suggestions for which dish I should pick (or if I shouldn't order one) your thoughts would be much appreciated.
