I'm a huge milk tea fan (as you'll see in my Taiwan segment) so this was a big perk.

I think they got the vibe that I was a FTer, presenting the champagne for me to photograph, offering to photograph me, allowing me to photograph the cabin undisturbed.

I should have thought of that!

Wow, your standard is pretty low I guess.
NH lounge at NRT is ok, aside from cook-to-order noodle soup, overall the food option is pretty weak, so does NH F lounge, the food option good only compare to UA RCC at NRT. The ex-SQ lounge at NRT (closed since NH move to T1 and open their own lounge at T1) had a lot more food options and they don't even hide the ice-cream that you have to ask like at NH lounge (ex-SQ lounge also had Fauchon !). Even UA's RCC at HKG got more food options than NH lounge at NRT.
Wow, CX using a remote gate at HKG ? This is almost unheard of !
While it is nice you can get good shots of the tramac view, the drawback is always if you have heavy carryons, you always have to carry it upstairs from the ground up to the plane on your own, no one would help you even you fly F, that's why I used to really hate connecting in NRT in the past before their T1's extension.
I agree that the NH NRT lounge food options are sparse, but I'm a huge fan of made to order noodle soup. The best lounge food I've ever had was probably the CI lounge in SFO, amazing beef noodle soup.
I didn't have a heavy carry on (at least one that I couldn't manage on my own) so I didn't mind the remote gate.
