Comments:The crew decided for us to serve the dinner in one setting, rather then serve it in courses as normally done in a business class environment. The tray was crowded with the appetizer and main course served with the foil food, meal, catering lid on it. This presentation was awkward and not very professional.

Comment: Weak breakfast KLM! I expected a nice warm, hearty breakfast for my arrival in Amsterdam. Instead we got a glorified economy class breakfast service. Not even corn flakes or other cereal???
Rating (1-10) worst-best: 2 (fruit was fresh and they gave me two breakfast rolls); Service was a 2… KLM is basically Northwest painted in blue instead of silver and red. The FA’s were extremely grumpy. I expected a much higher caliber of service in a business class cabin.

Dessert * Fresh fruit.
Drink: Diet coke; hot tea.
Comment: Mediocre meal at best. The crab appetizer and warm bread roll were the nicest parts of the meal. The rice of the main course was fine but the chicken was served with the skin and once the skin was removed there was hardly any meat. I was about to ask for an economy class meal as I hardly touched this one. The crackers were okay as well but the salad was so drenched in olive oil it was a mess to even try to eat so I left that untouched as well. Other choices for the main meal were vegetable lasagna or black cod and for dessert there was a cheese plate or fruit tart option. Note: plastic knife was served with the main meal and a metal knife served with the dessert apparently to tackle the soft melon and pineapple slices, go figure!

Croissant (Other available, this was my choice)
Strawberry jam (apricot jam and honey was available as alternatives)
Main Dish: (Western Dish) ­ Scrambled eggs and apple and walnut crepe served with chicken sausage and grilled tomato
Drink: Orange juice & coffee
Comments: KLM rarely messes up breakfast and this was certainly no exception. The fruits were fresh as was the yogurt and croissant. The main dish was excellent as well, the only minus being the chicken sausage which was a little leathery. Otherwise the crepes were excellent. Once again, good job KLM. It was also a nice touch to be able to select the contents of the breakfast on the small slip before take off. Saves a lot of time by having the tray pre-plated.

Meal type: Dinner - Smoked Trout and Mixed Peppers Salad, Stir Fried Chicken with Vegetables in Oriental Sauce, Black Forest Cake with Coconut Shavings and Beery Coulis, Bread Roll.
Drink: Orange Juice and Coffee.
Comments: I was simply handed this meal, so I don't know if there was a second choice that ran out of not before they got to me. Nice, fresh, warm bun and grateful to be offered a second as they are so small. Salad was ok, but seperate dressing is always nice which this didn't have. Cake was lovely, but very cold! Room temperature would have been nicer. Serving of main dish a little small for a dinner flight, but not too bad.

Comments: The dish could have had more flavour. It was dry and lacked punch. The salad was fresh and balsamic vinegar was enough for the size of the salad. The bread was warm and fresh as usual.
