New Meal Request Option on F???

[Dent@SUB]

Dear all,
Just tried to modify my meal request online yesterday for my next trip.
And the meal request options showed:

Book The Cook
Yummy!
Child Meal
Dietary Meals
Infant Meals
Japanese Meal
Oriental & Seafood Meals
Religious Meals
Vegetarian Meals

All the option looks familiar for me except the Japanese Meal.
And this option opens from all station.
Is this Japanese Meal really a new option, or it's just me not pay enough attention in the past?
Have anyone had sampled this option?
Ussualy I BTC Kyo-Kaiseki if I want Japanese Meal ex SIN, so what is the difference beetwen Kyo-Kaiseki and Japanese Meal option ex SIN or ex any other station including NRT?

Thanks all...

AFAIK, Kyo-kaiseki unavailable ex SIN

Yes for J...
But for F, Kyo-Kaiseki always available ex SIN...

Btw, the "Japanese Meal" option that I mentioned before is for F from all station (which is overlaped with Kyo-kaiseki ex SIN). But no such option for C, just regular option plus BTC J.

Anyone??

Dent@SUB: My mistake on the Kyo-Kaiseki (indeed, was thinking of another airport). It is available in SIN.

From Raffles Class Meal Selections here:

Menu - Japanese Cuisine

Gyu-Don

Kyo, what I mentioned above are meal selection options for First class, not Raffles class which are seem normal for me.
The thing I want to know, what Japanese Meal is???
Ex SIN we have Kyo-Kaiseki from BTC option, but we also have Japanese Meal option beside those in BTC.

I think I can offer some clarification here.

The "Japanese Meal" option is NOT the same as kyo kaiseki or nigiri sushi or gyu-don. It is a generic specialty meal (like diabetic, Hindu, etc....).

I ordered it for breakfast from SIN-BKK once and it was served on the same tray (and with the same bowls, etc) as the usual kyo-kaiseki, but the actual foods were not the same. The first tray was cold appetizers, and a plate of fruit.
The second part had warm foods including a fish dish, and came on another tray with the kyo kaiseki Japanese little plates/bowls again.

My guess is that for the full meal service, the actual kyo kaiseki would BE the "Japanese meal" if you booked it.

It was very good. It was basically the same set-up as the first tray from the "kyo kaiseki".

I have a picture of it but can't download it - will try.

Thanks flyingfox.
Now it's make sense...
