Singapore Airlines brings Book the Cook meals to Adelaide

Seared Tasmanian king salmon, lobster thermidor, braised beef short rib and lamb shank rendang – those are some of the inflight delights available to Singapore Airlines' business class travellers from Adelaide from the airline's popular Book the Cook menu.

Book the Cook lets you order your meal before your flight, choosing from a far more extensive and tempting selection than the standard business class menu.

Already available on flights from Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Brisbane, Book the Cook is extending to the daily Adelaide-Singapore flight from November 20, 2017.
