QF72 options look rather unexciting. Glad I ate in the lounge

I'd probably go for prawns, then either linguine or ribs, then the torta.

The menu isn't exciting, but the items don't look all that bad. Two entree choices isn't great.

EDIT: Just saw that the flight is SIN-PER. That's around 5 hours. Not sure if it's a day time or overnight flight, but if the latter then all the more for a short menu, as it needs to be served and cleared fast.

Prawns and dumplings…sounds good to me!

Fair points. It's a 7.30pm departure.

I wasn't hungry so just had the cheese which was served quickly.

Good one! I nearly fell off my chair

I’m no defender of the quality of Qantas’s catering, however at least it is served in actual tableware and glasses not cardboard boxes and plastic cups.

Doesn't bother me in the least. It was perfectly well presented as it was and a very satisfying meal.

At least there is a choice. Recently flew TG business and they're still serving one single entree/appetiser and its almost ALWAYS fish.

This is my biggest gripe about a lot of these supposedly “amazing” Asian carriers too. SQ is also like that and JAL is the very worst offender. No choice of starters and on many (or in JAL’s case, all) occasions, it’s fish or seafood which I can’t eat.

Give me a tomato soup on Qantas instead of little cold fish any day!

BNE-MEL 13:15 scheduled flight. 3 options, Teriyaki chicken, a soup and a salad.

Didn't look like much but was actually tasty and I enjoyed it. Chicken was tender.
Excellent, personable and kind service from CSM Janine. Water upon boarding, then surprisingly served first in 1D despite 1A&C being CLs. Seatbelt sign went on due to pretty significant turbulence as soon as my seatmate and I were served, so service was paused. Had to grab the tray or glasses a few times, but was at least able to eat at leisure. After 45 minutes when the sign was extinguished Janine somehow managed to serve everyone else in a full J cabin, with several top-ups offered as well as a few teas and coffees. I suspect we were slowed a bit by ATC, but still an impressive service.

That red looks like it's threatening to slosh out mid-turbulence...

That red looks like it's threatening to slosh out mid-turbulence...

Yet fortuitously there was only a bit of water spillage - by magic the red found its way to the correct home.

So delicioso. Definitely not the steak or lamb that SQ serves but really good for a Western carrier. Anything that looks like it is not Cole-slaw directly "imported" from Colesworth is a win in my books

True that. You can safely assume that no one is dying of food allergy over there

I find the Ploughman's Platter to be the best bet on domestic (I travel mostly SYD>MEL) followed closely by the cheese board. Both contain quality ingredients with no need for heating. A side of bread and a generous glass of wine is all I need for the short afternoon/early evening trip.

Anyone flown Syd-Hnd on QF59 lately in J and can learn me up on the meals? Otherwise, watch this space next week for a report

QF26 HND-SYD. I’m pretty sure it’s the first time I’ve done a rare QF day flight from Asia to Australia. Two full meal services. Breakfast and “Lunch” served at dinner time prior to landing. I opted for all Japanese options on this flight. Starting with the yellowtail main for breakfast. The...

Thanks! Was searching titles, not thread bodies.
FWIW I will have the same as you (I'll have what she's having?)

QF3 AKL - JFK

menus attached.

slowest meal service I've ever experienced. 3 hours 45 minutes all up. 1 hour between drinks/nuts and starter, then another 1 hour before main. CSM tried hard to set expectations that things were slow in the back cabin as apparently the 787 only has one person cooking in galley.

appetiser I had the charred corn with smoked salmon which I've had transtasman before. its generally ok

main I had the herb crusted snapper. tasted dry like sandpaper. no sauce (see picture). fed back appropriately

no panna Cotta by row 10 either (in 10k)

all in all, it's miles behind other oneworld carriers. heck, I preferred AA J class meals akl-dfw vv

Same dish served MEL/BNE mid afternoon departure, yesterday.
Outstanding service by CSM Elio.
Interacted with all 12 in business, top ups and water offered through out the flight.
This guy really enjoys his job, and it shows.

Rex offer something similar but it also comes with 2 sandwiches and a cake for the full morning or afternoon tea experience

 

[CaptJCool]

The Rex J fares look very competitive
As a result they have been keeping the QF & VA much lower than pre-COVID times.
I would suggest the QF after dining hours flight food appears to be a little underdone in quantity.
FRIDAY 3 I do a lunchtime flight so am expecting a larger portion
