I flew on Pan Am in First 20 years ago. They offered Lobster Thermidor but I stupidly picked the steak. Ever since then I have dreamed of eating Lobster Thermidor. I have never had the opportunity to eating this dish since then.
Please explain what exactly I Lobster Thermidor? Thanks.

Brilliant report, it takes time to read it all but is well worth and it and it gives a good insight into what yu get in First class with SQ, shows why they are rated so highly because of the cabin crew

Have also noted the Xmas decoration in the lav on one flight, but based on the photographs posted, SIN appears clear on the day SFO777 flew in, luckily!
(Great TR's, btw!)

There are times (usually in winter - in December) when the Indonesians are clearing forest land for cultivation (usually illegally), by setting the area on fire, which results in Singapore being inundated with smoke....this, or the aircraft flying into polluted airports may be the reason for the smell of smoke.

great TR. i flew SQ F JFK-FRA this summer and had a wonderful cabin crew. i also checked out the virgin clubhouse and while nice, i found it to be a big worn looking, and staffed by extremely slow servers. then again, the food/drink was free and the seats comfy..and i got to chat up a couple of pretty english girls so i suppose it wasn't all bad.

SQ1-SQ2 seem to be high on the list of the next 744-380 upgrade based on discussion in the Singapore forum, with timing pending delivery schedules. Senior SQ FAs on my recent RTW told me "by the end of the year" and my SFO sales rep told me "end of the year or early next year". While this is certainly not hard proof, someone is giving them a general time frame and the chatter would seem to point to a switch sooner than later.
So two daily 77Ws from SFO with the all new First and Business class seats... not good for award travel but great news for RTW and other A class travelers.
