Phil the Flyer - Funny enough, I was moaning to a friend about the state of the lounge and they told me to leave & get food/drink from outside.
Until they fix the lounge problem, they should offer a $25-$50 voucher for you to use anywhere in the terminal.
I'll definitely look into flying into/out of HKG in the future. This was my first time into/out of MNL, wasn't expecting to be let down by QR. I did go past CEB airport whilst on a hiking trip & seems quite a fair distance from MNL Airport.
