The only answer for this: BEEF SUKIYAKI ex-NRT :p :D :D

I try not to order them as they are usually Beef a la Rubber in reality.
In case I have missed it: no airlines have yet brought Kobe beef onto their F menus, right?

The main problem with the Gyu-Don was actually that I was not able to discover any beef, while the picture in the brochure shows nothing but beef. :confused:

Well, the rice was there, even with some peas mixed into it. Then there was an extra bowl with some sauce (more like soup really) containing shredded vegetables. I recognized onions and carrots, and maybe very, very little shredded beef!

No, I am not kidding.

And this was even out of SIN, where they should have the best catering as it's the home base.

I had it out of SIN as a C-Class BTC dish and it was having a substantial amount of beef in the bowl. The chef must have been "sleep-walking" or something like that :confused: . I would let them know about it. Not supposed to be like that. I hope there was something else on the regular menu that you liked and that it was actually provided to you.

Cheers ...

It was a regular dish in C. (I'm sure of that as F was red-eye so only snack and breakfast.) I cant remember which flight though. I dont normally have beef anything but I was sick of the other options.

I sure did let them know, as this was only the smaller part of my first really disappointing experience on SIA. After a little explosion on my part they were dancing around me like the muppet show, without getting any better. Must have been a really unexperienced team on the upper deck. So, tired as I was, I told them to get me a big glass of cognac and leave me alone for the rest of the flight. The first thing actually, they were able to do without a problem. Didn't even offer hot towels anymore. :D

Just had BTC Lobster Thermidor. The sauce is not as creamy as ex-SIN and without mushrooms. ^ Served with yellow rice and asparagus. I am glad I chose this, since the menu choices were not one of my favorite. Well, in fact, while at SKL NRT Sunday, I asked the lady there to find out about the menu, since there was no copy available in the magazine rack. She did try very hard to find the info. And I am doing BTC on this flight (lunch: LT, light meal: crabmeat noodle soup, dinner: beef sukiyaki).

Wondering if I should BTC on SQ20 tomorrow...

Tried the slipper thermidor ex-SIN one time, and it was not satisfactory. It's a different kind of lobster I believe.

Yes, the (C) slipper lobster thermidor is different from the LT you get in F BTC. Was thinking maybe of something else...
