So far, I only have tried these:

BCKCR - CHICKEN CURRY
Good. Like to have this for breakfast or lunch.

BCKRM - CHICKEN RICE
Good, but hit and miss. My last one was without soup, and the presentation was less elaborate.

BDWYR - DUCK WITH YAM RICE
Hmm not to my liking. A bit strange for me.

BFPRM - FISH PORRIDGE
This one sometimes appeared in the menu for breakfast or refreshment.

BKYKS - KYO KAISEKI
Always available on SIN-NRT-SIN and LAX-NRT-LAX. Have to see the menu closely to what I eat. And that's the problem when ordering this BTC to other than NRT destination. No list of the food served. And yes, you can order Japanese meal ex BKK.

BLSTM - LOBSTER THERMIDOR
I think this one has a great review from FTers. But I really don't know how the excellent LT should be. For me it's too salty sometimes, and the sauce is too rich. But I prefer the LT with asparagus than the other from different station.

BNSBY - NASI BIRYANI
Love this for breakfast or lunch.

BNSLM - NASI LEMAK
Same for this. Love it. One time had this for breakfast before landing at LHR around 4am. The other pax looked at me strangely for having rice for my breakfast. But it's lunch time in Singapore, so it's perfect for my jetlag.

BPPSF - PAPPARDELLE WITH SEAFOOD
Strange for me. And just once ordered this.

BRRLM - ROAST RACK OF LAMB WITH MINT JUS
Always love lamb. And yes, like it. Ex SIN will be served with potato au gratin and mesclun salad. So, double salad for the meals. But it's not a good idea to order this when the route is still using plastic knife. Difficult to cut.

BSSMS - SEARED SALMON
If you like salmon, you will be fine with this. I tried once only because my AC flight LAX-YVR always had the salmon as one of the option.

I had this on my last SIN-HKG flight, and thought it was quite good.

I'm having the chicken curry day after tomorrow after hearing good things about it, and will report back.

As I mentioned to you long time ago, I am not food adventurous. Thus, I am biased in this area.

And don't forget Barramundi BTC ex-SYD. It's good in my opinion.

I've had the Chicken Curry Peranakan-style too, and I liked it quite a bit. It's spicy, though. Be warned.

Thanks for the warning, but I don't think spiciness will be a major issue for me.

Hi CGK. The chicken curry was good. Here's the review as promised:
  • Flight: SQ219 SIN-SYD
  • Class: C
  • Date: 18 November 2005
  • Dish: Chicken curry Peranakan style with bread rolls (One of the BTC "Singapore specialities")
  • Scale (1 to 10): 8
  • Brief review: The curry was quite good, served hot in a bowl--several chunks of chicken and potatoes, accompanied by steamed rice. I'd call the gravy mild to medium spicy and would have preferred it spicier, but that's according to my tastebuds, of course. I wasn't offered any bread rolls aside from the ones normally offered with the starter, but then again, after enjoying the laksa for breakfast at the SKL, I didn't miss them (and am sure I would have received bread if I had asked). The portion is quite generous. Recommended.

Ex-LHR and in Raffles: NOT the seafood thermidor, unless you like lots of the creamy sauce served with the dish. I found the sauce too cloying.
