BTC selection help

[oxymoron1984]

I will be flying in J class from Tokyo-Singapore in December. I was wondering if anyone here has any recommendation for dinner on board. Is there a recommended/"must-try" BTC item? Is their standard meal on this sector better than BTC? Any advice welcomed. Thanks.

The BTC rack of lamb in the last month has been delicious! The lamb was juicy and it plated with a green salad with crunchy sliced radish yum!

BTC Soya Beef.. SIN - CGK

Beef quite tasty but hard enough to chew, rice is bad , dry and hard , vegetables around it pale and tasteless.

Overall not recommended

The Matt Moran Seared Lamb Loin.

And it was pink too yum!

I've BTC'd the Indian Lamb Shank a few times outta SIN and it is deelish. This is in part coz lamb shank is always braised/stewed, which makes it something that tends to work well reheated later.

Seared Black Cod Fillet 'à la Niçoise'

I recently had the "Seared Black Cod Fillet 'à la Niçoise'" ex-SIN. Loved it! What the description on the SQ site does not state is that it is served on potatoes. The picture I took does not do it justice...not that I would know how to get it on here anyway at the moment.

ex-MEL had to be one of the best I've had -- on the ground or in the air.

I love that dish as well, it used to be Seared Chilean Sea Bass 'à la Niçoise' when it first came out. But they changed it since last October if I'm not mistaken.
Wise move, since black cod is similar in flavor and texture. Besides, Chilean seabass is being driven rapidly toward extinction.

They still have a seared Chilean seabass ex-SIN: "Pan-Seared Chilean Seabass with Bouillabaisse sauce". Never had that though. The black cod was introduced with the menu changes back in May last year.

I already tried that since they changed the menu. the sea bass is lovely, tasted exactly the same as in Seared Chilean Sea Bass 'à la Niçoise'. The zucchini pasta however, I was expecting a pasta made from zucchini, but I was served a normal spaghetti with a few slices of zucchini.

Wagyu Sirloin with Eringi Mushroom (ex SIN) and Portuguese-style beef curry (ex-HKG)

From SQ2 R class ex-SIN:

Wagyu Sirloin with Eringi Mushroom

Wagyu sirloin with baked eringi mushroom marinated with truffle, garlic and sake, yuzu and light soy sauce, accompanied by green beans and jalapeño salsa, served with steamed rice

One of the better meat-based BTC. It being wagyu is quite tender for something that is served onboard. The dressing is also quite interesting with a modern twist. I love this definitely.





From SQ2 R class ex-HKG:

Portuguese style beef curry with broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, and steamed rice

Decent in flavour but nothing spectacular

Seared Black Cod Fillet a la Nicoise

One of the better BTCs so far. Had a low expectation as fish and meat dishes tend to dry out on board. But this fish was moist, and the skin was super crispy which provided a very nice contrast. The overall flavour was simple, and fresh. Really good. Will order again.

Thanks SQueeze, very nearly ordered that on our ex-SIN two Thursdays ago. Decided to go for the fish on broth instead and the lamb shank. Then the wife decided not to have the BTC and try the tandoori lamb on 227, so didn't get a photo of that.

(Also thanks for reminding me about this thread, will upload a BTC later on. Really liking the variety of BTCs on offer, very refreshing)

Didn't we dump the pics here:

and use this thread "selection help"?

Sounds like a (tedious) task for one of the mods to merge everything relevant (since Jan 2012) from this thread into that one.

It seems everyone has already forgotten about that unresurrected thread
