Delayed 1.5 hours on the ground in SQ due to a problem with the de-icing system; FAs kept refilling our glasses with the excellent Heidsick Vintage Champagne. Nice touch. Satay served immediately after take-off and was an excellent snack. The Seared Tuna & Soba salad was delicious with salmon roe on top and a light and refreshing miso dressing. The main course left a lot to be desired. It was bland and in desperate need of seasoning. The previous flight I had pre-ordered a main course through Book-the-Cook and it was not great - barely heated and again, bland. Cheese was okay. Dessert on SQ is often ice cream which is the weakest aspect of their food, meal, catering. The wine was okay but nothing special. The Singapore Sling they mix on board is a bit sweet, but refreshing. Service was good, though they sometimes rush the meal service. The many tea and coffee choices are a great feature. You can choose from espresso, capuccino, mocha and a variety of teas including oolong, served Chinese style.
