Skip the veal even though its from Carlo Cracco. It is always super dry and NOT 2 Michelin starred quality.

Really recommend the Kyo-Kaiseki on the FIRST MEAL (aka Supper) it is from the 3 Michelin Star Kikunoi restaurant in Kyoto. Kaiseki for Breakfast is abbreviated and not as fresh after 13 hours ish.

Wagyu Sirloin is amazing all 3 times I have had it. I ask for it rare, although it seems to have been prepared medium rare.

For your FRA to JFK, Lobster Thermidor is pretty good (non seafood eaters, this dish is not fishy...think clam chowder and fish and chips), I think they are the same ex-SIN or ex-FRA. Also try the Bresse Chicken from Georges Blanc (3 Michelin). It has never disappointed me at all.

I actually wanted the Bresse chicken but every time I selected it and hit submit, my page would error out. I figured it was phantom availability or something. Anyone see anything like that before?

I had an issue trying to select my meals on that route (and had bresse chicken as one of my choices). So, I called SQ and they were able to do it manually for me.

No issues with my wife's choices online. She had not selected the bresse chicken, however.

Just flew SQ for the first time.

SQ7 LAX-ICN-SIN.

Crab Ravioli was a 7/10.
Chilean Sea Bass was a solid 9/10 (but the best I've ever had on a plane)
Atlantic Salmon was a solid 9/10 (but the best I've ever had on a plane)
Lobster Thermidor was an absolute disappointment and the worst thing about my trip. I give a 2/10.

It really sucks because all I ever eat is seafood and I love lobster and all shellfish and was sooooooo looking forward to trying this famous dish. It was horrible. It tasted like a concoction of low-grade seafood mixed together with zero lobster taste. My gf thought the same.

For the record, the best lobster I have ever had on a plane was 2 months ago when I had the luxury of flying CX First HKG-LAX--the lobster was DIVINE.

SQ certainly did everything ELSE right in the food department as I was impressed with everything EXCEPT the lobster thermidor.

Yes. Disappointed here too, but I get it on my ex SIN leg.

Any thoughts on that menu?

355F1

I am glad I am not the only one who was let down.

Are you asking my thoughts on the other menu items I had on my flights?

sqzulu

Im having j class return on sq 11/12

want to try the Japanese set. I hope they cater enough as normally the pps folks gets to select it first.

anyone knows isit better to sit in front or behind so as to have a better chance of getting the jap set?

I wish there is a wiki where flyers posted pictures and names of their dishes so we can have a better idea what the meal look like, i can't tell much from the SQ menu list if a dish look good or not LOL... , this is Lobster Thermidor and Wagyu Sirloin for my SQ11 F LAX-NRT-SIN last time

355F1

I can help!

Here is the crab ravioli, Chilean Sea Bass, Salmon, and Lobster thermidor from SQ 7 in J yesterday LAX-ICN-SIN.

(actually the lobster thermidor was from my final SIN-DPS flight)

shgroamer

Sure, but more so the SFO-SIN btc menu.

Had the classic lobster earlier from Sin-Icn. Decided to rest first so when I woke it was a little heavy. Tasted great though.

On the second part of journey to LAX I had the beef fillet. The potato was soggy and inedible but the steak was decent.

Funny we are flying First class from LAX to DPS and also from PHX (next month). So the thermidor was on the A330 biz class segment? Anyone have the thermidor from the LAX kitchen?

355F1

I was more than impressed with the food on this flight. I did not fly out of SFO; I flew LAX-SIN-DPS.

What stands out the most is that SQ offered the most amazing croissants I have ever tasted outside of an actual french bakery in Paris. I couldn't believe how amazing they were--ESPECIALLY since this was on a plane!

The starters were amazing, the desserts were also quite yummy.

I am not a fan of warm water lobster as cold water lobster is one of my top 3 favorite foods in the world (Pacific Salmon, and King Crab are the other 2). Maybe this is why I thought the lobster thermidor was absolutely terrible.

The only airline food I have had better than this is CX FC HKG-LAX. I have flown in F on CX and BA once each, and in J quite a bit on DL/AF/KL/KQ/AA/BA.

I have top status with AA and DL....yet I am trying in vain to figure out how I can fly on SQ again with points transferred from Chase and Citi.




There was no lobster thermidor option from LAX--at least not in J.

Yes, I ate it on the A330 J Class SIN-DPS.

Where are you staying on Bali?

This was some nice comfort food. The beef was moist and tasted like a high-quality pot roast dish. I enjoyed this. The noodles weren't super-flavorful.
