Just did a 734/659 weekend turn and must really say that CX got the short end of the carrot here. Really wished it had stayed in T1 where I can check in, shop, lounge and still stroll to gate in an hour, but oh well... now is a lot of walking in a look-nice terminal. Even the outbound immigration is open to sunlight. Pity the officers.
The lounge itself is nothing impressive and the lack of natural lighting really gives it a cold feel. They try to made it look uniform like the Pier and the other outport lounges but a lot of wasted space and haphazard arrangement. Furniture look old.
Catering (wanton noodles) was severely underwhelming. Meat and shrimp was mashed into a wanton ball and stock was salty. And who drinks the Moet? Would rather they put back the Billecart Salmon they used to serve in regional J.
