Review: Singapore Airlines 777 First Class Dinner from Seoul to Singapore

Matthew Klint Posted onMarch 2, 2018March 2, 2018 3 Comments

After stuffing myself on the first leg of SQ15 from San Francisco to Seoul, it was time for another feast on the connection to Singapore.

Thankfully, I had taken some time in Seoul to walk up and down the terminal and burn calories…I also ate nothing in the lounge. When it comes to Singapore Airlines First Class, it is either feast or famine. Oh, you’ll never starve, but depart anytime during the day and you’re in for more food than you can possibly eat.

Depart late at night, however, and you might just find yourself hungry. These “supper” flights offer limited food service. That’s why you should always take advantage of the Book the Cook option. For better or for worse (considering I was still stuffed), I was on a dinner flight with immense amounts of food onboard.

SQ 0015
Seoul (ICN) – Singapore (SIN)
Wednesday, May 29
Depart: 7:40PM
Arrive: 12:50AM+1
Duration: 6hr10min
Aircraft: 777-300ER
Seat: 1C (First Class)

Every first class seat was occupied on this flight to Seoul, but service shined. As we walked down the jet bridge, the purser greeted my uncle and me by name and welcomed us onboard.

Pre-departure beverages were offered and I opted for a glass of sparkling water, followed by Krug after takeoff. Each drink came with a cold towel.

I had pre-selected lamb chops as my main course, but just after takeoff a FA set down a beautiful plate of beef satay on my tray table. The meal before the meal…

The satay was exceptional, with the peanut sauce serving as a perfect accompaniment.

The table was set of diner.

Soup? Why not…Singapore offers excellent tomato soup with a dollop of sour cream and chives. It was truly delicious.

Singapore also tempts you with some of the best bread, butter, and olive oil in the sky. I mixed balsamic vinegar with olive oil to create a perfect dip for my bread.

Although I was stuffed, it was time for a salad…I considered it a palate cleanser. Thankfully it was just a small wedge salad with a bit of light dressing.

The main course finally arrived. While I think carrots and peas make any dish look so cafeteria-like, the lamb was succulent and brimming with flavor.

FAs tried to push a number of elaborate dessert items and cheese on me, but I just had a kiwi and grapes.

CONCLUSION

Meanwhile, my uncle ate nothing the entire flight: he was still stuffed as well and wisely just said no to more food. The food in Singapore Airlines First Class is truly exceptional. I was happy to fall asleep after dinner and enjoy a four hour nap before arriving in Singapore.

    This comment is not specifically directed at you Matthew but at all travel bloggers and self-anointed reviewers. Why is it that these reviews focus on the most expensive experiences that very few travelers can afford or will ever experience? For example, upon launch of Delta’s Premium Select cabin, there is just a handful of reviews but the Singapore Airlines’ Suites caused an avalanche of reviews at about the same time. Delta’s mid-class cabin is about $2000 whereas the SQ Suites can cost over $20,ooo for the same distance. And what about economy class where the vast majority of travelers travel? There are hardly any reviews on those.

    Hi Donald,

    I appreciate your comment and can offer two thoughts. First, this is blog and many of the Boarding Area blogs are geared toward premium cabin travel because that is the fun of miles and points — making aspirational travel achievable for everyone who is willing to put in the time to carefully collect frequent flyer miles and credit card points. I used miles for my flight…I would rarely pay for it out of pocket.

    Second, there is usually not much that distinguishes economy class from one carrier to the other. That makes the reviews less interesting, but that doesn’t preclude me from publishing them. My blog is full of economy class trip reports. Here’s several, including a recent one on Singapore Airlines–

    Reading this in the Private Room at SIN prior to flying SIN-HKG for 37.5k AMEX points. That’s a price point within reach to just about anyone who plays the points game.

@malaysiaairlines just announced it would retire i @malaysiaairlines just announced it would retire its A380 fleet. While not surprising, it is sad to see the growing list of carriers retiring this superjumbo jet. On Malaysia Airlines, I flew the #A380 once from Kuala Lumpur (KUL) to London (LHR) and had the entire first class cabin to myself (full review on the blog). It was a beautiful flight that I will always remember.
