Did anyone end up trying the beef rendang? I'm leaning to the Salmon myself.

I can second how good it was, although the sauce made for a little bit of a sloppy presentation. Highly recommend!

They took down public access to those (internal) pages more than a year ago. I think it was late 16 or early 17. No way to get to them anymore

LAX to HND Business.
Any tips on what to grab, or should I just grab something in the airport instead?

Well for a change here is what AA serves commoners on International, choice was chicken or meatballs, ended up picking up later. Not bad by any standards, free booze to go along with it with a pretty good Spanish wine set. Midway ice cream was served and a packaged pizza was served before landing.

Flew home on AA25 on July 6 and had great service by the crew in biz on the 757. Both were very tasty. Didn’t get a photo of the Mizo chicken supreme but it was delicious. The sauce was just right and the chicken was moist. Followed by the lemon tart. Great meal and great service. Enjoyed the seat much better than the seat on BA’s upper deck.
Appetizer served together with roll. Very tasty.

I’ve completely given up on beef choices in J. The past 3 have been inedible and I’ve ended up tossing them after 2 bites.
