To add, not all cities have the BTC options.

Could the difference be due to the class of travel? My trip was in J. Either that or it was a difference in long-haul/regional menus.

Loony, glad you enjoyed that.
I did have pics of my meals but didn't have time to post them. Will do soon, so watch this thread. [note to self : remember to post]
I guess it must be class of travel. I remembered having this discussion with CGK a while back. BTW, I had the satay.

- Flight: SQ12 SIN-NRT
- Class: F
- Date: December 27, 2005
- Dish: Roast rack of lamb with mint jus, mesclun salad, and thyme-flavoured gratin potatoes
- Scale (1 to 10): 8
- Brief review: Very flavorful with a quite generous serving, particularly when viewed relative to some of the regular menu entrees that I was able to see. The portion was somewhat fatty, but even working around that, there was plenty of lamb and it was worth the work.
While I enjoyed the selection, next time I might opt for a somewhat lighter option out of SIN considering the timing of the flight and the other regular menu samplings. That, or I would pass on the soup for breakfast at the Silver Kris Lounge.

Menu for SQ11
Hi
I'm on J on SQ 11 NRT-SIN on Jan 10. I've had Lobster Thermidor but sounds like beef sukiyaki BTC is the way to go ex-NRT. I also read that one can order the Japanese bento box for NRT-LAX flights. Is it possible for me to call SQ and say I want it on the SIN-bound flight?
Has anyone been on SQ 11 this month? What's in the menu?
Bests,
Flyguy

How to I make my BTC selection if I'm travelling on reward (I or O) tickets? Can't log-in to my booking on the SQ website, so can't see what selection is available. Do I need to phone them?

This link shows you what is offered from the respective stations, differentiated by class of service.
As far as February goes, I don't know how often they change the selections, but most of them are main stays.

Flying MEL-SIN-HKG vv in J in APR - for the first time. Is it worth BTCing at all, or shall I just enjoy the food onboard? And also, if i do BTC, can I have the onboard meal instead if the latter looks better? (eg one of those Gordon Ramsay specials...:P)
And no I don't like lobsters...
