Nothing new and exciting to report from HKG. The Pier is very empty this evening and the service is a little lacking, but still great lounge for Economy + status. This is the Mott 32 menu:

Lunar new year special: Abalone. Quite tasty.

Wagyu beef skirt at The Deck. Also good.
After that I got the feeling of a cold coming my way, so no more alcohol and tea only.
Now waiting onboard hoping for the row to stay empty. I checked two hours before the flight and changed my seat to an empty row.
