Served shortly after takeoff

To Start
Seasonal fresh fruit

633/723/777~M~HKG.JMB04.2402.CX <04/24>

PS. This crew didn’t even bother to ask if passengers want cereal or yogurt, and the whole breakfast situation was unacceptable. The fruit plate needs some additional fruits, and they need to bring back the yogurt and cereal trolley. I will add a non-dairy component like a cold cut or smoked fish plate too. Do the bread baskets a few more times. Or they need to do a pre-arrival beverage service with nuts and snacks.

PS. The meals were loaded in Hong Kong and the food was fine. Both the salmon appetizer and shrimp main course were delicious, but I did not understand the F/As need to rush the meal. There was no turbulence and flight were smooth. I did not understand why there was no pre-meal beverage service, and the bowl of mixed nuts was just added to the starter tray with salad. Cathay Pacific F/As really did not do any pre-arrival service, and they did not patrol the cabin. So remember to use your call button!
