In case I have missed it: no airlines have yet brought Kobe beef onto their F menus, right?

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 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 ...

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).
