For the Indian Vegetarian Meals, only Jet Airways is better, otherwise SQ has constantly offered the best meal for all my flights. Not even Air India matches that, in fact I try to fly SQ as much as possible only for the meals, knowing that I will get something to eat (Indian) for my flight

Interesting, I would base my airline choice on numerous other aspects from direct routes, flight times, aircraft types, hard product as in seat, avod, etc., lounges, mileage-accrual... but never just for the tray they put in front of me.

My recent 380 flight SIN/LHR was also inedible both meals.
They even forgot to do satay service on the other side of the plane, leaving my seat mate having to ask thrice to be served. Finally he complained to the IFS.
The meal service on SQ is a far cry from what i used to be.
For the poster who said they have not ever had a restaurant quality meal - please try LX First and you very well may have one.

I assume it may depend on the length of the journey and the alternatives available but I've had some Indian colleagues indicate that the meal is an important consideration when they are flying. I guess some non-Indian carriers really don't quite get it right as far as Indian Veg food goes.

All flights on miles, so cost is no consideration, but saver availability is a must

I have to admit their econ experience is extremely good. Choice of three mains, quite tasty, and I prefer their range of alcoholic beverages over LH biz even. They've nailed the Y experience spot on.
It's an entirely different story when it comes to their biz offering though...

On the quality issue, has anyone had the Shrimps and Scallops with mustard sauce ex JFK with book the cook?
I normally like both shrimp and scallops, but am worried that the quality in the air might not be the same.
Thanks

Flew MEL-SIN-PEK on Mar 22 - meals on both legs excellent - big improvement from 1 month earlier - especially SIN-PEK leg which was almost in edible previous flt - maybe SQ are listening.

Same here. I always wonder what people expect when they are in an aluminum tube 35000' in the air. As long as it is edible I am a happy camper.
