If one is after the nasi lemak, it seems to make very regular appearances as the breakfast dish on the night flights to Europe as part of the standard menu.

Hi All;

Just did CDG/KUL and back in J and was unable to order my meal using my MacBook running Chrome. I did the order then got the greyed out waiting screen for hours (literally; I left my laptop running overnight to see if anything might happen, but it didn't)

But it doesn't matter; I was really impressed with the standard menu.

Really enjoyed the whole experience, lots of space, excellent seat (use a pillow on the legrest to lie completely flat) and wonderfully helpful staff.

The lounge at KUL was nice, not as nice as The Wing in HK but the staff really made up for it, they are friendly and helpful but most importantly it seemed as if they really meant it.

I was so impressed that I have decided to change a planned LHR/SIN flight which I had intended to fly on BA will now be on MH.

Sorry I was basing on my experience of the mid haul flights to/from oz where the breakfast is a disappointing bread and cereal.

Breakfast on my last MEL-KUL was far from disappointing:

Starters
Cornflakes
Bakery Selection

Main Course

My breakfast landing into KUL from SYD in J was what you list, minus the hot course.

Did you perhaps oversleep and were served something after the regular breakfast distribution? I had the impression that all MEL/SYD J flights have the same full breakfast with a choice of three options including one eggy, one Malaysian, and one grill type.

sxc

No, definitely not. Both on my flight to SYD and return, the menu for breakfast was continental only and was listed as such on my menu.

It would be disappointing if you were expecting a hot main.

Maybe, because of the OMG-arrival time of the SYD-KUL sector, it isn't offered.

Doesn't explain the lack of same KUL-SYD though.

I think I'll pre-order the ex-MEL and ex-KUL mains, will default to the standard for the second leg mains.

Thanks all,

Regards,

BD

Sorry for digging up old thread, but i don't see any reasons for starting another thread when i'm going to ask the same question.

Booked myself and my wife on J for SIN-KUL-ICN return for our honeymoon. I vaguely remember reading somewhere that J catering are also victims of their cost cutting measures. So J main course are basically Y meals disguised with better presentation, wonder how true is that.

So comes the question, whether it makes more sense to use the chef-on-call or just leave myself to chance that one of the menu options will suit my taste buds?

I can vouch that their J catering has not been a victim of the cost cutting measure. at least as of 23rd Dec 2013

I booked my meal, brunch, for this weekend's flight.
Had a choice of beef/steak with whatever, lamb based dishes, homemade chicken lasagne and a few fish curry etc dishes. Something like 16 choices.
Was going to go for the Nasi Lemak but not sure about the prawns it comes with so chose a sweet and sour snapper dish.

I used their website to check out the choices. Seems like the main meal for KUL-ICN will be served during breakfast, while ICN-KUL is lunch.

Trying to figure out whether i can preorder for the return leg only and leave outbound to lady luck? Since it seems a tad heavy to have those menus for breakfast.

Good to hear that.. This will be my first time on MH.. Hope the experience will be good

...and they tend to run out of it, so it would be a good one to order.

Agreed. I ordered my meal before hand as I am a picky eater. Hubby didn't as he loves any food and is happy for the surprise.
