Interesting... or maybe not so much... that one of the most delightful entrees is also one of the simplest.QF 19 SYD MNL J today. i.e. on board
Salad of buffalo mozzarella with artichokes, broad beans , grapefruit and almonds.
Absolutely superb. Best starter I have had in ages. And that includes on the ground!View attachment 384782
Lively dressing coupled with ruby red grapefruit really spiked the taste buds.
Am I the only one who thinks this is really light on for a meal. A 2 hour (?) flight and all you get is soup and some bread. No side salad, no dessert. Terrible.Adelaide- Sydney, late evening flight:
I missed proper dinner time by 5 minutes but must admit that at this stage I was well and truly bursting. Choice was the usual soup, salad or “Mediterranean vegetable pizza”. Luckily I had seen a picture of the latter on this always useful thread before as I would otherwise have stepped into this trap: I saw it served to someone across the aisle and it looked as non appetising as on here and way too carb-y. I decided for the cauliflower soup rather and speaking of carbs, I got it served with not one or two but three (!) slices of the bread which I didn’t touch. The soup itself was excellent with proper bulbs of charred cauliflower in the soup and some lovely almond flakes on top. Definitely hit the spot at this time of the day!

That's pretty much standard on Qantas for "non mealtime" meals. I totally agree, not good enough and I personally hate the different levels of service at different times. As I've mentioned many times before, different people will be in different mind spaces regardless of time- especially when you come off an international connection.Am I the only one who thinks this is really light on for a meal.

Aside from the question of time of day, the 3 "options" - soup, salad, pizza, would together make an adequate meal. If you're after a snack one would be fine, but these are certainly not "meals" in isolation.Am I the only one who thinks this is really light on for a meal.

I'm assuming this is a 737/717 seat? Would you believe that the seats on the new A220 are not cleaned properly regularly/between flights? Last time I was in an A220, there were chip crumbs on the seats and the drink placement thingy ... cleaning crew either do not get enough time or are not doing their job well.

Y seats are next level unclean! Been flying around a bit in the past 3 weeks on various airlines and can say, sadly, cleaning on QF ain't that great. Regardless of the port of departure (international or domestic). Y tray tables are sticky, the seat pocket has cookie crumbs. Someone left a tissue in the seat pocket, there were wet wipes in one instance. Oh, there were cheese and crackers, stuck to the floor, between the leg of the window seat and the side of the inside of the aircraft.Economy
Noiceeeee Love it when a BM is done right and done well.lovely Bloody Mary
The chili was the first thing that caught my eye when I saw your post Can't describe how a decent serving of chilliI must also been lucky as there was LOTS of chille on the rice which at least added a bit of spice to the meal. Not remotely as much as I would like but not everyone would be keen of such a heat bomb so I understand.
Thanks for posting. I have to say I hope that menu changes in July as it is not that inspiring for me.QF11 Tues 14/5

Aperitivo of almonds with the canned margarita. No Sky Spritz available.

Pumpkin soup with creme fraiche. The plant based dining option was the same soup but with croutons.

The chicken main option. Tasty. I wasn’t familiar with the dish & was expecting a breadt of chicken. I was pleasantly surprised.

Desert was chocolate or chocolate or cheese. This pudding or choc choc Pat & Stick’s ice cream. I’m not a huge chocolate fan & would have preferred a non- choc option. This was tasty.

The Duval Leroy was chilled and bubbly. The Salmon was delicious but I sent back the tub of “dressing”. It had come straight out of the fridge and was just a pot of solid oil! The bun was warm and very good.

Poached barramundi was soft and well cooked, and I enjoyed the greens as well. The right level of bite. One of the FAs was eating the steak and said it was very good. I guess they can reheat it just enough from experience.

I had a good meal in the F lounge (moist poached chicken with a “Mexican” sauce) so that once QF1 takes off, I can decline any meal service and try to go to sleep straight away. The 5-6 hour layover is a killer. If there is a next time, I would fly QF9.
Doesn't appear to be a match to me. No smoked salmon on the menu, and the barramundi should have a herb crust?Does that menu not match the meals?
