I just went to the SQ website to try and use BTC.

I went to the BTC page, entered my booking ref and name and it brought up my itinerary but I couldn't see any reference to BTC on that page.

Anyone got any ideas why I'm not seeing the BTC options?

Just give SQ reservation a call (an ICC) and you should be good to go ^

You make the BTC selections online (log into the SQ website to do this).

I don't book my flights online but through TA who doesn't understand BTC.

Last time I tried it from here SQ (local) didn't either.

I had but must have lost an email address that did work.

thanks anyway - maybe someone esle has an email for BTC?

Call SQ direct (ticketing office - numbers are available on the homepage for your country) and book the BTC meal.

IME BTC has only been available online when I booked the tix online. Otherwise I had to call SQ to select my meal.

NB, each time that I have BTC, I have found that there was always a choice on the main menu that I either preferred over my BTC choice, or at least equally as much! Of course the nice SQ staff wound up bringing me both to try...

Didn't have too much time to look at the menus but just ordered Lobster for Dinner, Lunch, and then for another Dinner on SQ 11. Also reserved the "coveted" 1B while doing the meal request.

Kyo Kaiseki ex-SIN in F? Res Agt says not offered

I am confused about something: on ex-SIN in F, I'm flying SIN-BKK and just called to try and BTC Kyo Kaiseki. She said it's not offered on this sector--and then read me the entire list of (everything else on the list online, except Kyo Kaiseki) available entrees.
Is this a mistake, or have they excluded it from the menu due to it costing more to make than the regular meals?
I was thinking it was her mistake, but she even said that the code for it is "KYKS, which is correct, but it's not offered.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

I tried this once and was told it wasn't offered because it took too long to serve and eat and the flying time on that sector is too short to accommodate it.

That would completely make sense, except I've eaten it at least 3x on BKK-SIN! The block time is 2h25m, for both SIN-BKK and BKK-SIN.
But anyway, I will just get something else--not a big deal, but odd.
