Can I order J BTC when flying F?

[maxmin]

1) Some of the J options are more appealing to me than the F options... may I request a J BTC meal in F?

2) If so, are the portions smaller?

3) I can't seem to find a way to BTC online... is it possible?

4) Finally, what if I go on board and prefer the standard menu ? Can I ditch the BTC (wastefulness notwithstanding?!)

5) Cheers!

1) maxmin, if you like.see A3.

2) for similar dish, the portions are smaller (but not really that much) or may be slightly different.

3) just call SQ - I am sure they will oblige your request.

4) Sure you can and maybe some crew will get to try your BTC. Anyway, if you are going this route, just make sure you tell the crew in advance that you want something form the menu instead as they may have otherwise just started heating your BTC for you.

Even though I've never tried it, I don't think it should be a problem for the OP to request a BTC different from a class he/she will be traveling in because the BTC the request is from the lower traveling class than the one that will be flown in.

But in terms of refusing the BTC because wanting something off the in-flight menu, it won't be a problem. I have done this quite a few times where the things listed on the F menu looks more appealing than the BTC F selection I had pre-ordered and never have the crews made a fuss about it. Overall it makes sense considering you'll know which particular dish you'll be getting by BTC but highly unlikely you'll know what the onboard menu on your flight will offer until the day you board the plane.

Thanks for your help! I'll post back with my culinary experiences - also will have an EK/SQ comparison....

Some of the J options are more appealing to me than the F options...

Which one? Just curious...

[maxmin]

The only F that appeals strongly is:

Lobster Thermidor with buttered asparagus, slow-roasted vine-ripened tomato, and saffron rice

8 oz. U.S.A. rib-eye steak with creamy green peppercorn sauce, roasted vegetables, and garlic-mashed potatoes (from SIN only

But in J there is


Peppered fillet mignon with mustard jus, chanterelle mushrooms, fava beans, and paprika red potatoes

Seared Chilean bass with creamy saffron sauce, baby vegetables and wild rice

Steamed crab ravioli in creamy lobster sauce with mixed vegetables

Wok-fried black pepper chicken with carrots, zucchini, gingko nuts, and steamed rice

altho I once had the J chorizo risotte from SIN-SGN and it was pretty much anniahlated (speling?) in the microwave!

so mayve F is better bet?

I have to find the station where those C BTC is. It's ex-LAX.
For F on SQ11, I like the veal (change the gnocchi with rice when LSS confirming the meal on board), or beef sukiyaki, or even the five spice Chilean bass. Crab meat eefume noodle soup is good for the meals prior to land at NRT.

Good detective work!

I looked at the veal but not so into the cheeks.

I'm doing LAX-NRT-SIN-CMB vv in a few weeks (and on to MLE/JNB on EK F)

Cheers!

Don't forget the lamb too... it is very good in the air.

Isn't it veal chops different tan veal cheeks?

Was referring to ex-SIN segments..
