Drink: Krug Grande Cuvee Champagne, Cathay Delight Cocktail ( Kiwifruit based non-alcoholic drink with coconut juice and a touch of fresh mint).
Comments: Sorry the pictures aren't in order. I didn't like the cold appetiser. The caviar was wonderful as usual. I then had the lobster bisque which was one of the best seafood soups I have had in a while (on and off the ground) It was so good in fact, I had another serve instead of the Grilled Prawn and Scallop Skewer with Black Bean Sauce served with Steamed Rice and Kailan (main course) that I had originally ordered. My partner had the gnocchi but he said it wasn't very nice. I had a slither of the New York Cheesecake with Strawberry Sauce which was great (not pictured). Moist and melt in the mouth. In the middle of the flight I had the pizza for a snack which was crisp and quite good. Their Cathay Delight Cocktail is so refreshing and light and the touch of mint finishes the drink off nicely.
Breakfast was standard, even though the eggs were freshly cooked. On
previous flights, I'd had my eggs fried or boiled which I think are much
better. The fruits were delicious especially the papaya. As usual, the
service and presentation of Cathay are top class.

Comments: This was my first time in first class and so I was expecting something special. The caviar was fantastic, served to you from the trolley and the scallop appetizer (not pictured) served before take-off was a great start to the flight. Unfortunately the rest of the meal wasn't that much better than I've had in business/ economy. The soup was bland and the steak was just warm. I didn't expect overcooked vegetables in First Class but I guess there is only so much you can do with re-heating food in the air. I didn't have any room for dessert but after a few hours of relaxing I managed to fit in Noodle Soup with Chicken, Chinese Mushroom and Pak Choy and Ice Cream with Fresh Berries just before landing.
Rating 1-10 (worst-best): 8 (mainly for the caviar, champagne and Shanghai Tang Pyjamas they give you to wear!)
