Dinner Grilled Bay Scallops Arabic Mezze Seasonal Salad Stir-Fried Beef (Menu Card)

Dom Perignon 1995 Champagne Geoff Merrill Reserve Chardonnay 1998 Domaine de Chavalier 1994 (Bordeaux Red)

It's always a pleasure to knock back a few Dom Perignons, and the '95 is an excellent year. This was a late night flight (22:30) and service was exceptionally slow, so any chance of having the meal and a good sleep was unlikely. The menu is reduced on this overnight flight, so no caviar I'm afraid. I had no wine list which was disappointing - I asked what white there was and was only told about the Geoff Merrill and not about a Chassagne Montrachet that was on board. The scallop appetizer had tiny scallops and the dish itself wasn't that great, although presentation was OK. My travelling companion had the Arabic Mezze, but again this was not as good as expected. The surprise of the night was the Stir-Fried Beef, which was supposedly only 174 calories. It was really, really tasty, although presentation was perhaps a little lacking, very Business
