The real goal of this quest, tho, was this:
This was of course the Noodle Bar, a separate section of the lounge:
Where the magic was made:
And the happy result:
There were more food offerings in this section:
These had just been delivered from the kitchen, and helped make up my very yummy spot of late lunch:
The noodles were indeed flavourful and of a nice texture, and the broth was rich and peanutty - except the portion was on the dainty side, so a perfect excuse to try something else:
The wonton soup noodles and fried beef bun, which, tho not a knock out, tasted just fine.
I whiled away a little time to savour the noodles, and as I left I came to another section of the lounge:
The café-like section had a nice counter of its own:
With yet more tempting bits of food:
Somehow I was still not quite full – must have been all the snapping – so I went back to the main buffet area and settled on this little spread:
Some pan-fried fish, egg and shrimp fried rice, roasted veggies, mango and crab sandwich, and some fruit. All consumed with a nice view of the tarmac, and this special bird:
A lovely livery it certainly is, but I’m still partial to this aircraft:
And in the ‘Asia’s World City’ livery:
I saw this model at a little shop in Hong Kong and I just couldn’t let it pass.
Of all the business lounges I’d been to - AC, UA, AA, BA - this was by far the best, in its layout, ambience, food and drink offering, and service from attendants. A definite two thumbs up.
