This was my first flight with SQ in about 2 and a half years. During this time, I've been flying Y-class with all the other Star Alliance members... UA / AC / LH / OS / BD / NH.... What a difference SQ makes. Their Y-class food standards are well above all the others. Only All Nippon Airlines comes closest to the SQ standard. Service was again superb. A nice touch is that the pre-meal hot-towel service uses proper thick cotton face clothes. That makes such a nice difference. Appetiser was nothing special but main course(s) was excellent. I had the Gordon Ramsey chicken first. I think this was my first piece of airline chicken that was not overcooked - it was moist, succulent and full of flavour. SQ are one of the few airlines who use a proper china casserole dish for Y-class main meals. Most other airlines use plastic or foil dishes. I also tried the chinese style beef dish and that was delicious too. The British Ice Cream was far too sweet but I finished it... Coffee was also good. (I don't think SQ use instant coffee in Y-class) Overall, well done SQ, a refreshing and tasty change from other European and US airlines.
