Qantas Business Class meals & menus

SYD-DRW QF846 8:50pm departure

Dinner choice was the roast beef salad or the chicken


Roast beef was ok, add as much of the dressing as you can as it’s a bit dry but still nice.

Also recommend the economy class chicken Malaysian salad, very tasty.

BNE-CNS mid morning departure - pretty tasty.

Flown across the country a few times in economy lately and I tell you what those box meals are far superior to half the food that gets served in J in recent times.

Every time I cop the egg white omelette or some sort of hot decent option in J it's dry and horrible....maybe sweating in the box keeps everything moist in those box meals?

QF146 AKL/SYD A332 23/9 15:15 departure

Great and attentive service, for a 3 hour flight. Shame similar domestic flights of same duration can't be up to this standard.

Offered juice or champagne pre departure
Post departure drink orders taken before departure
Drink appeared within a few minutes after airborne and seatbelt sign off

Must've had the toaster set to about 8/10. Looks pretty good otherwise!!

QF636 MEL/BNE 8:10pm (delayed to 9:15pm) 14/9

Delays across the board last night as ATC had to close the second runway during the day due to wind. They were back up using both by late afternoon.

There was an option of soup (csn’t remember what it was), a cheese board or the pork dumplings. OMG, am I glad I chose the dumplings. Scored 9.5/10, the only downside was not enough of them (think there were 6, I could have eaten 12) and the pastry a little bit thick. But I’m really scratching for detractions, because the meal was superlative. Even the chocolate bar (salted caramel and coconut) was a step up from the usual small single bite ones.

I almost asked for a second helping but we had a full load (11/12) in J

Do yourself a favor when you see this dish. Order it.

Took your advice and had the dumplings. They were truly yummy and when nicely with a Grosset reisling

This is a great aspect of the service on Trans Tasman flights on both the A330 and B737.

BNE-MEL 23/9

Barramundi in Thai Green Curry with Jasmine Rice.
Wine: Kilkamoon Pino Gros 2017 (Riesling was much better, imho)

The fish was very tasty. One of the better meals I've had in domestic J in a whiile...

Any info on the current Supper menu for the redeye flights out of PER?

Here is a menu from a few months ago.



The FA's walked out the tarts and did not offer soup. I suppose you would need to ask for it.



I skipped breakfast in order to sleep, and filled up at the MEL J Lounge on arrival.

I have always (ie, all 3 red-eyes) had to ask for the soup (twice) or single hot dish (think it was pork). Not proactively offered in my experience.

Contrast with MEL-AKL redeye where everything is offered, including pre-departure and pre-supper beverages.

Bit disappointed with the way the first (entree) is plated. Lots of rice piled up as well on the 3rd plate. The rest looks great.

Spot on WP QF. One of the kids had the first dish and I had the third (menu above) - both tasted better than they looked.

Way better offering than the connecting KA flight!

QF4 HNL-SYD last Friday
The lunch was ok (beef short rib), but the dinner was fantastic! (ramen with katsu chicken)

 

[RichardMEL]

Sadly a QF catering fail and even more unusual ex-OOL where they usually are very good...

This was allegedly "Wagyu Beef Steak in a red wine jus with mash and veg" - the steak was tough.. in fact so tough the lady next to me gave up after about 20 seconds and I was close to giing up to. This was not pleasant.

The "treat" was a fig and ginger cake which was OK. Wine a Riesling but I did not catch who it was from.. not the excellent Grosset 2016 from last month alas.

 

[QF WP]

Looks like you needed a steak knife @RichardMEL ..but of course, that's not going to happen. Disappointing after your OOL experience yesterday as well

05th October

6th of October
QF90 NOU-BNE (2 15pm departure)
Lunch
Soy chicken, rice and veggies. The catering was way better than ex AUS. It tasted way better than what it looks.
Duval Leroy reserve offered, also Yering Chardonnay and Shiraz (Penfolds)


6th of October
QF 637 BNE-MEL (7 pm departure)
Dinner
Chose the salad as they had the same lamb shanks on offer. I had a few mouthfuls and felt I was just eating bacon and potatoes.

I did wonder if it was related to the lengthy delays, but I figured the catering (even if ex SYD) would not have been loaded for too long even with the delay so that doesn't explain it to me.

And since the pax next to me also had such trouble with it and gave up (put her bread plate over the top of the dish as if to hide how bad it was ! lol it clearly wasn't one serve that was so tough. Definitely needed a steak knife for sure.

CBR-MEL 11am flight. One option, a toasted turkey and cheese sandwich. Better than the rubbish you get on the late afternoon and evening flights on this sector.

No pic as I did not partake given F lounge then a F flight coming up. But it looked pretty good.

BNE-TSV .... pretty tasty toastie
