  • Vegetarian Options in Y

    Hi.

    I'm getting quite excited now, just 9 weeks to go to our next flight on SQ!

    I'm vegetarian, so I'm used to the usual Lacto Ovo offerings on SQ. When I was booking online I noticed all the other vege options and I'm interested to try them (particularly I'm interested in the Oriental and Indian - Non strict options). Can anyone who has tried the various vege options on SQ let me know their thoughts? There is nothing wrong with the lacto-ovo option, I just thought it would be nice to try something new.

    I'm travelling LHR-SIN-BNE.

    Thank you.

    Hi Dreamwatch. If its convenient, would you mind posting some pics?

    I'm "quite" a vegetarian in that I generally prefer vegetarian meals. Not really into meat other than fish but I'm not exclusively vegetarian as well.

      Hi concept|infinit. You know, I never really take pictures on flights, and considering I have a background in photography I think that's pretty bad. Since I've discovered this forum and realised how many people take pictures of EVERYTHING on board, I now know the SQ guys and girls won't think I'm crazy if I photograph my food. So I would be delighted to take photographs of the food, and I will definitely be posting them here. I may even try a trip report.

      Thinking to go lacto-ovo out of London, Oriental out of Singapore, then maybe Indian out of Brisbane, and lacto-ovo again back to London. I can't believe I have put this much though into it to be honest, lol.

        The Indian vegetarian option tends to be fantastic. I often prefer it to the options I see on the regular menu.

        The Chinese vegetarian has been pretty tasty too, but nothing remarkable relative to the non-veg Chinese dishes.

        The best thing about these special meals is that you get served when the children's meals are brought out, i.e., ahead of everyone else.

          I think that's a good approach: try various types of veggie meals and see for yourself. Personally, my default is VLML, with Indian and sometimes Oriental (i.e. Chinese) for variety. I avoid VGML - vegan - as that tends to be boring.

          If you have enough sectors, you should try the various meals at different sectors, as that will add more variety and give you an idea of which caterers do a better job at which meal type. For a while (this is back in the 80's and early 90's), the VLML meals out of Australia were excellent and consistently better than other stations.

            That's good to know, thank you. Who'd have thought I would be looking forward to airline food? lol

            I quite like being served first, a bonus for sure (it upsets my poor husband who is always hungry!), the only problem is when I'm finished they are still serving usually, and this can be a problem getting my tray collected. Though a lovely lady helped me last time when she saw me struggling to hold my tray and get out of my seat at the same time.

              Thank you. I quite like the VLML, it's just that it can be a repeptitive - I think there are two meals on the first leg, and a meal on the second leg, and they are usually pasta based, with some kind of omelette for breakfast. I've done this a few times now (this is my third trip from LHR to BNE with SQ and it won't be the last), so probably a good time for a change.

              Gosh, if I was a business traveller I would have done that in a week, lol.

                Oh, that'd be lovely especially for people like myself who dont fly as much haha.

                Looks like the Indian vegetarian options are quite popular too. I've been quite a fan of North Indian vegetarian food. Actually a lot of Indian food is vegetarian, so I guess there's quite a bit SQ can come up with for a Indian veg menu

                  I get to make this trip once a year - it's a major event for us, hence the importance of getting my meals right! It might be more than a year for the next one depending on the economy. It's so annoying because I'm always just short of the required miles for silver status! lol
