Have tried, in the past 3 years,...- Oct 2008: TG / NH ( SIN-BKK-NRT-JFK-NRT-SIN )
- Jun 2009: BA ( JFK-LHR-JFK )
- Dec 2009: UA ( SFO-DEN-SFO )
- May 2009: KB (BKK-DAK-PBH-DAK-BKK ) &
- Jun 2009: BD ( LHR-VCE-LHR )
And a couple of NH to Hokkaido over the years
I didn't know about the Cherry Valley ducks. Ducks are indeed nicer here in the UK. A lot fatter. But I prefer chickens in SE Asia. The chickens here have too much meat and not much taste.
Your Lumix seems quite good in low light. Can't see any noise and the pictures are sharp.

Next time I'll stay longer
To answer my own question, I BTC'd nasi lemak on SIN-HKG over National Day long weekend
It's different from SIN-LHR. Regional nasi lemak more authentic. More spicy. More deep fried food
So 2 considerations when you BTC:
- Which airport are you flying out of? ( don't expect too much ex-EWR )
- Which route are you flying?

Cherry Valley is the breed, I believe

They've been recently bought by a Thai company:

AIUI, according to the French, the best ducks come from Challans (Challandais ducks) and chickens from Bresse; and that's what the fancy French restaurants in the UK serve.

Also I think that is not soup but the dessert.
At least they could do something with the plastic bag and the plastic container. It was a J meal after all....
The presentation indeed less desirable, but the taste was good...
And yes, that was not soup, but some caramel pudding with canned lychee fruit on top of it....Last edited by Dent@SUB; 19 August 2010, 10:20 PM.

I guess with the number of premium pax on CGK-SIN-CGK sectors and being a short-haul flight, the CC would not have sufficient time to pre-plate the meals... But anyway as long as it taste good!God must have been a ship owner, he placed the raw materials far from where they are needed and covered two-thirds of the earth with water...

Bresse chicken is a very high quality bird and yes, I've been known to buy it, but people like Gordon Ramsay will get their chicken and duck from Goosnargh. I've eaten the chicken and it is a great roaster.
