Business Class

Lunch , Special meal: no
While this meal wasn't terrible, I've had much better and it really wasn't up to Business Class standard in my opinion. They also had a Beef Tenderloin that they ran out of when they go to me and a Korean Bi Bim Bap bowl that I should have opted for. I've had that before on Korean Air and it is their signature dish. I can attest that it is tasty but not all that filling which is why I decided to get something else. What I did not like about this meal was that it did not seem to all go together (Caprese Salad and Garlic Bread with Asian Stir Fry?) and I am not a fan of how KAL serves its pre-meal beverages. They do this by rolling out a cart displaying soft drinks, water, coffee and tea. No adult beverages in sight. You can ask for something but then they have to run back to the galley to get it. Very inefficient. Because the wine, beer and spirit selections are not on the cart for you to see, you also have no idea what your choices are so if you want an adult drink, you have to go through this interrogation of what they have and if you want wine, they will run back to the galley to get the bottles and bring them out to show you. Kind of weird and draws a lot of attention to you when you are trying to place a simple drink order. For sure, this part of the service could be improved.

2013 Ch. Le Trois Croix Bordeaux (very mediocre); 2014 Frei Brothers Reserve Merlot, Sonoma, CA, (much better)

1. Starter of Vietnamese Pork Satay; 2. Caprese Salad and Cream of Cauliflower Soup and Garlic Bread; 3. Main of Seafood stir fry with noodles and greens
