Maybe Australians just know how to do lobster. Was also very good out of SYD in suites a few days ago.

BTC First Class ex-HKG: Lobster Wonton Soup

Book the Cook (ex-Hong Kong)
Lobster Wanton Soup
Lobster Wanton soup with ee fu noodles and Chinese greens

It was average. The wonton was great but the noodles were a bit on the soggy side.

I thought we'd get a picture from inside the bowl next!

You didn't tell us how good / bad it was.

Agree. Pictures alone aren't enough.

BTC F: lobster ex-SYD

Here's the lobster I had BTC-ed ex-SYD:

I would rate it a 4 out of 5. Great taste, maybe a tad too greasy.

And nice presentation, the crew were really good a plating. More proof here (customized dessert, with ice-cream/sorbet from two different dessert options on the menu):

Overall, well done!

BTC ex-SIN 8 oz Ribeye Steak

March 2019 Ex-Singapore Suite Class

Not sure if I was a great fan of it. There was nothing wrong with it but I felt that the quality of the steak was not that great to begin with. I prefer the Wagyu Sirloin to this straightforward ribeye steak!

8oz rib eye steak with creamy green peppercorn sauce, roasted vegetables and garlic mashed potatoes

Hi, I will be flying to HKG on J (on award ticket).

I'm still contemplating between these 2 ex-SIN:
- Classic Lobster Thermidor
- Chargrilled Soya-Flavoured Beef
Any suggestions?

Also, anyone tried the "Shi Quan Mei Wei" ex-SIN and ex-HKG?

Hi looking for recommendations on the following flights for book the cook meals. flying EWR-SIN and then SIN -SYD both in J. Returning on SIN-FRA-JFK in suites. I will need to look at what I have had in the past. I think I probably had the steak which was alright but not really spectacular. I tried to do book the cook on a FRA-JFk flight or maybe it was JFK-FRA in suites for the lobster thermidor and they dropped it. Since it was the only one they had left I had to have something else and they gave me like $200 in gift certificates to make up for it. I understand the lobster thermidor isn't really raved about as much.
