Flying from: Vancouver YVR to Hong Kong HKG, 31 January 2003
Flight duration: 11+ hrs
Aircraft type & class: 747-400 (J-series), economy (Y)
Meal type: breakfast - (1) warm croissant with extra butter and jam but not pictured here, (2) assorted fruit salad, (3) omelette, pork cajun sausage, grilled tomato, sauteed button mushrooms, hash browns under the sausage
Drink: tea (jasmine) and orange juice
Comments: "Nice surprise to wake up and see a breakfast platter on the tray table of my empty adjacent seat... still warm and edible. It definitely looked better than the chicken & shitake mushroom congee (porridge). Their midnight snack station in the galley offered a variety of snacks including cup of noodles (those in styrofoam cups), cookies, peanuts, pretzels and other munchies."
Rating 1-10 (worst-best): 6 for food, 9 for service since they didn't wake me up when they were serving and the platter was still warm when I woke up after everybody finished eating.

Drink: tea (jasmine) and a generic white French table wine (Pays d'Oc)
Comments: "I ordered the Chicken Chaisseur Sauce (basically aka shoe maker's style) with cornbread stuffing but must've been miscommunication in my poor Cantonese. After a little complaining, they delivered the proper item but I was too hungry to even bother taking a photo."
Rating 1-10 (worst-best): 5 for quality of food, 8 for service (they were prompt to correct problem since the flight was practically empty because of the Chinese New Year).

Comments: "The food was a bit disappointing this time. The salad was fine. But the beef was cold when they served us. The noodles and dumplings were very bland. The pizza and the different breads were the best out of this supper service. Skipped the desserts (Orange and chocolate mousse cake with Raspberry sauce, Cheese selection or Fresh fruits) because we were tired. It was 2am local time when they served this meal."
