Observations / Changes in SQ Dining Experience

I don't recall for JFK-FRA, the nuts in F are being warmed. After all, it's kind of late departure and a short flight. Actually better not warmed to get a faster service. Thus dinner can be served earlier and faster, which in turn giving me a chance to sleep for couple hours.

For my flight JFK-FRA in F, I was served cashew nuts. The nuts should have been warmed.
For 77W and A380 in C, the saucer or plate should be warmed. The nuts itself doesn't need to be warmed in the oven. But, some crew members decided to just put the nuts in the place where the ramekin/saucer/plate get warmed. The result is what you experience. Basically, many had done it, so if the nuts were not warmed, it will make it like an incorrect way of serving, even though in the manual or rule states that no need to warm the nuts.
At the end, now another "consistency" matter arises. So will see whether there will be an amendment towards the guideline for serving nuts on board.

- Place the nuts bowls into the warming oven together with the nuts as soon as possible
- When serving the drinks after taking off, put one serving of nuts onto the bowl
- Make sure to lay one serviette
This amendment effective immediately and must be done in , particularly when SQ VVIP Mr. MAN Flyer and the-new-VIP-of-HKG-based-airlines Mr. UMD in the pax list.
Have a very good morning everyone.

- When serving the drinks after taking off, put one serving of nuts onto the bowl
- Make sure to lay one serviette

Seriously, for consistency SQ should just go ahead and warm the nuts. They taste so much better warm anyway.

My next flight out is only in three weeks, will see if they have indeed removed the tablecloth.

Still no more table linen for CGK sector and worse: gone is the bone china dish!
Just completed another RT on SIN - CGK and I can confirm that there is no more table linen for the meal service on SIN - CGK sector on C. The tray is still lined with a cloth but no longer the table. I am also extremely upset that SQ has done away with the bone china main course dishware and replace it the rectangular melamine / plastic dishware with a wavy top. This is quite similar to the one used for Y.
If it is done for CGK, I am sure SQ will be rolling the same out to the other short haul stations as well.
