  • Special Meal Request on economY SQ (Seafood Meal)

    Hi all,

    I've been a long-time lurker around here and finally like to post a question to all you knowledgeable SQ flyers.

    I'm wondering if anyone has tried requesting the special Meal in Y and how did it taste like. Please state the meal type and a comment (i.e. food content, tastiness etc). If you have ever booked the "seafood" or "hindu" meals, a reply would be a plus.

    Thanks

    Hi there ultrasound

    I've requested for seafood meal a couple of times out of SIN. The main was always fish (once was salmon and the other was some white fish) with some sort of seafood salad. The food's pretty ok and its also quite light compared to the ones that they serve on board. And best of all, you get to eat before everyone else.

      They use to have an oriental meal selection alongside the seafood meal and that was pretty good... Breakfast was always a Dim Sum (yes, even in Y) which I love... Never tried the seafood selection though...
      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...

        Quite light means... less amount of food?

          Here is my little collection of seafood meals:

          SQ954 SIN-CGK (06/2008) Breakfast

          The fish was medium rare, it taste very well!!

          SQ955 CGK-SIN (06/2008) Lunch

          Totally overdone...like easting a eraser...

          SQ859 HKG-SIN (02/2009) Lunch

          Good Quality and Portion, very creamy sourse and fresh prawns and scallop

          SQ862 SIN-HKG (02/2009) Brunch

          Just average but the starter was good

          SQ1 HKG-SIN (04/2009) Breakfast

          Perfectly done but with tastless mushrooms...

          SQ870 SIN-HKG (04/2009) Dinner

          Fairly done but the potato cake next to the fish was delicoius!

          SQ1 HKG-SIN (07/2009) Breakfast

          Same as 04/2009's one...But you can clearly see it is Salmon+White Fish+Prawn+Scallop+Vegetables

          SQ856 SIN-HKG (07/2009) Brunch

          Totally tastless this time...

          I agree with msndelevium, the seafood meal from SIN is normally fish + rice/mash. I think it is quite boring, and those from HKG were quite good.
          PS: SQ ex-HKG is using Cathay Pacific Catering Service, however the meals on SQ flights are far better than those on CX flights (Taste, Appearence, Quality), possibly SQ choose the more expensive meals

                Wow, that's a rather comprehensive collection of seafood meals.

                Thanks for sharing, sutrakhk.

                  Thought this LOW-SODIUM special Y request meal might be of interest to some...

                  Direct link (with photo) here:
                  http://eatbma.blogspot.com/2009/11/s...of-taipei.html

                  It's quite short so I'll quote verbatim -

                  Ugh - that was nasty. My last two special meals on SQ were a lot better than I thought they would be, but this one tasted just like what the words "low sodium" invoke: bland and unappetizing.

                  Sadly, this featured tasteless pieces of chicken breast in both the appetizer as well as the main course, and they even left the third plastic tray empty - as if they couldn't find anything else to put in there. I wonder if this was because of the local caterer in Taiwan?

                  The ironic thing is that I had to add some of the standard issue table salt and butter that came with the roll on the side in order to make it half-bearable. So much for eating healthy.

                    Hi, i was once told by an "insider" who was with the SQ Catering Services that the Muslim food out of SIN is by far the best compared to the rest and sometimes its even better than the food u get in F or J. the reason is because Muslim food has the lowest order/request volume and therefore the food is prepared with more "delicate" touches. i haven't actually tried it before as i've always been on CX. but would love to give it a shot if i have an opportunity to fly SQ outta SIN.

                              a person next to me once had the muslim food option ex-seoul, the main looks ok but the starter and dessert (dates) are middle-east inspired which doesnt really look really appealing to me (compared to the normal salad and fruit/pudding).
