Plaza Premium First Lounges - Co-Pay?
I am planning to visit the Plaza Premium First lounge in KUL. I'll also be interested in using the upcoming one in CGK (not yet open). And I guess, eventually I'll find my way into their first lounge in HKG.
Two questions:
1.) What is the best way to access these?
I understand if you use PP, a co-payment will be required. But it seems to vary between different Plaza Premium First lounges. Then I got an Amex Platinum. That CC usually gives access to Plaza Premium lounges. But I didn't find anything on their First lounges. On their website, a few CCs are listed. But my card is not on any of those lists.
2.) How do you judge the quality of these lounges?
I found a few reviews on the HKG one. Those reviews were quite positive. Then I found one review on the KUL one which wasn't quite as enthusiastic.

the regular PP @ HKG is overcrowded but food is still good with good variety
main draw for PP-First @ HKG is to get away from the crowds, plus some better food
the regular PP @ KUL is crowded too in the evening (long line outside, waiting to get in). food isn't as good as the regular PP HKG one, and not as much variety
didn't pass by the PP First @ KUL, can't say if there is a buy-up. their website says MYR69 to buy up - if you have PriorityPass, it qualifies under that program

the 1-2 reviews for PP First @ KUL looked good - dunno if i would pay the buyup though

Last year I was able to access the KUL PP First Lounge with my Venture X card.
