That Thai Chicken Curry has been on the menu all year ...

Yes… together with the rest of the menu

I think only one new dish I’ve seen which is for the transcons?

I believe you may have underestimated its existence....

Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

Have had the Croque twice now. First time (Bne - Syd) on 31 July and it felt like it needed more oven time. Second time (Bne - Syd) on 6 August was an improvement (and I didn’t mind it being a “little over”). Mine looked like the second picture haha.

Kiss goodbye to the Thai green chicken curry as the new menu will kick in this week.

I'd ask if you had any idea what was on it but I'm sure you do. Can you drop any hints?

Had the curry on the way to Sydney this morning, might have it again this afternoon then.

I've seen the whole menu so I know exactly what's on it

They are finally bringing back salads with protein options which will hopefully stop the abuse we get from pax when the protein meal is out

There's a few native Australian ingredients incorporated into the menu like lemon myrtle and strawberry gum.

Beef is back on the menu (thank gosh, a more decent protein than chicken) I think this dish will be replacing the TGCC

Menu launches tomorrow!

Menu launches tomorrow!

The day before QF birthday?

 

[FunPlum]

Sounds interesting and, like others, I'll be watching this thread the next few days to see what menu options people are posting about. I made sure to enjoy my TGCC this afternoon since it could (should!) be the last time I see it for a while.

woo hoo!

they all sound delicious!

(I’m hoping the ‘beef’ dishes aren’t beef cheeks… can you confirm or deny?)

Neil Perry hasn't been lurking near the kitchen has he? Some of the descriptions a bit Perry-esque.

Made my day! thanks!

For those who will miss the TGCC - smack your lips at our yellow Thai vegetable curry with herbed rice

 

[Luke B]

VA878 SYD-MEL tonight. Braised beef brisket with jasmine rice and bok choy, this was really good and would happily have it again!

Pretty disappointed in the CSM tonight actually, she skipped the pre departure beverage and it took 54min from being seated to get a drink, is this normal?

Well I learned something new when I googled 'aged rice' . Doesn't sound appealing, but apparently it is more flavoursome.

Very unusual.

I note your flight was late… 35 mins or so. But usually that doesn’t preclude PDBs.

Although there is one CM that refuses to provide any service on the ground… including drinks, even if the flight is early

But this is now the second report. I hope it’s not spreading!

I forgot to mention she ended up speaking to row 3 for over 5min after telling us there wasn't enough time for a PDB...

There certainly will be feedback provided, new J which was great but the service was certainly a let down.

1850 seated.
1929 seatbelt sign off
1944 order taken
1946 first drink served.
