Many people seem to think that they could expect a lovely meal on board of an airplane just because it sounds so promising . Would I be served such quality in a restaurant I would throw the whole meal through the window just before I would slaughter the chef . People who understand anything about eating would never complain about airline food because they would know it cannot taste well due to being tortured in fridges , microwaves and so forth . Like for example lobster . Just imagine a restaurant serving initially deep fried lobster after a microwave treatment . It also does not make much sense complaing about scambled eggs because it is not a scrambled egg what you eat but something that originated from a tincan with a strange eggpowder inside .

From my point of view an acceptable way of eating on a Thai long range would be one or more starters accompanied by their very good champagne and probably some wine in case they get the temperature right . I further recommend to ask for the chocolate which is made by Valrhona which is a jewel on the chocolate sector . You got to ask for it .

Sometimes they have dried bananas , very nice . Again on request only .

May I further with your kind permission comment on pre - ordered meals : Standard meals in F for example come in 6 - packs on a tray . Pre ordered arrives on board after a long journey possibly as a single unit which does make survival in style even more difficult . I do not recommend it .

The joy in flying is fast transportation and free drinking , not eating .

Just my two cents , up to you .

The prawn curry was good.

Perhaps I was naive and the lobster sounded good. But at least I tried it. Was planning on skipping dinner anyway, but since there were a flurry of activities of the crew serving dinner to everyone, I decided to go ahead with nibbling a few bites here and there. Had a fantastic dinner in FCT at FRA before arriving LHR.

Actually when compared with Lufthansa, eating on LH F flight was at a totally different level - both in service and food quality. It really was like a fine dining experience, and the crews gave more thought to the pax. We enjoyed it tremendously.

I wish I had known about the Valrhona choc - they are my favourites! Will try asking for it on my next flight back. Wonder if they will provide this in C?

Anyway, this is what I like about Flyertalk forum - we can always bounce around ideas and tips on our experiences. Not everyone has the same taste, and it's not the end of the world if any expectations were not met. It's all part of an adventure!

Has anyone ordered a Biz class meal? The Thai website states online pre-order is for First/Biz class.

Just wondering if the menu is the same. It'd make sense if it was.

The first and business menu are different.

Also the business pre-order is possible ex-bangkok to certain destinations (e.g. available to Germany but not to Australia based on my experience).

The first class pre-order is available not just ex-Bangkok (e.g. possible ex-Germany). The order ex-Germany is also different from ex-Bangkok.

Thanks. The biz flights I'm looking at are to HKG, SGN, and TYO (HND). I guess I'll find out when the window opens.

Yes.. the beef is a hit & miss (I especially did not like the topping with liver) and the duck is nothing to write home about. Your best bet rly is to go with the Thai dishes as long as your expectations go along with airline food as mentioned above
But the Currys together with the Caviar, Champagne and appetizers should get you through the flight..

Hi, will be flying SYD-BKK soon. On the Australian website there are two options to order the F-Class meal: a) login on thaiairways b) download a form for fax order. The problem is, that the meal choices are different. So which one to use or are both versions valid? - which will multiply my choices ... ;-)
Anyone who has tested the fax-version recently?

Hi,

Any recent recommendations for CDG? Is this all catered by Servair?

I know not to chose the lobster, disappointed to hear the beef is no good, there's chicken, veal, swordfish, salmon and duck remaining.

ex-BKK in C they've told me its Beef, Salmon, Thai dishes: curry, pork, prawn.

Even if I'm the only one in C/F (which is apparently the case now) will they still load the other main meals on the standard menu should I not like my pre-order. (I take it they are just C meals anyway for the CDG flight)

Thanks

I recently read a TR (Sorry lost the link), where the traveller had a couple of segments on TG. For each segment, he pre-ordered 1 dish, which was served, and in the same time ordered an another one from what they had in stock that day, Hence getting 2 main courses per meal.

Is that common with TG? Anyone else tried it?

Ex LHR with the caviar we get thin crisp toast (melba toast?) but what are those awful soggy things you get ex BKK?

They are called Blinis and are traditional caviar accompaniments in Russia, although they should not be quite as soggy as the always are ex-BKK!!

I'm assuming you're referring to F travel? What you're describing is not uncommon at all (on TG and on other airlines). Where a pre-ordered meal is provided, if the pax is still hungry (or doesn't like the pre-ordered meal), the FAs will almost always offer a choice of second main (from the regular catering) if asked. Of course, this assumes there is a second main remaining after other pax have been served. F is generally over catered... with the sometime exception of Dom Perignon ... so a second serving is generally possible.

I fly TG in F short haul HKG-BKK-HKG and long haul to European cities almost monthly lately. I enjoy the meals. Though they generally serve Dom Perignon to start, I usually request the 2004 Veuve Clicquot Rose they have on board, and stick with this with the meal. DP is great, but even though the vintage has recently switched from '02 (a great classic but rather closed and dry tasting at 30k feet) to '03 (especially warm vintage giving rounder flavour and texture), it is more austere than the fruitier Veuve, which is ideally suited to the pressurised cabin effect.

For food I always, always order the Thai options, not the European ones. So while that means I cannot comment on the qaulity of the European meals, I have almost always been happy with the Thai ones. If there is a curry I order it. It is partly that the airline (and its caterer in BKK anyway) know this cuisine, it is partly that food is bland in an aeroplane, so spicier dishes are more appetizing, and it is in large part because foods prepared in a thick sauce are less prone to drying out when refrigerated and microwaved. I've only once had a problem and that was a special oder curry LHR-BKK. Even the flight attendant didn't look happy and suggested something else, with an apology.

Because I have got so used to having a curry, and because sometimes they don't have one on the menu, I usually order one booked on their website in advance.

I guess if I was going to go for something European, I would take the same approach - go for something pretty well smothered in sauce. It will be less dried out when they reheat it for you.

Excellent policy... for BKK departures. Maybe just my luck, but curry ex Australian and Euro ports are just a little bland IMHO. Of course, this is due to the local caterer.
