Good news for Singapore regulars [QF F Lounge opens 2nd December 2019]
The Qantas First lounge formally opens on 2 December. I had a sneak peek yesterday and it is very impressive. It’s by the D gates so really easy for BA12, or if you’re arriving on BA11 and transitting onto BA15 for Sydney. Frankly though, it’s worth the walk even if you’re leaving from a C gate.

That’s great to hear! Any thoughts on how it stacks up relative to the First Bar in the BA lounge. Not the the bar is anything to rave about but I find it a big step up compared to the regular lounge.

I usually use the lounge to get some work done, so if more people go to the QF F lounge in preference to the CCB, I wouldn't mind that. That'll be my gain.
Saying all that, I shall certainly be poking my head in to have a look at the new F lounge. If it's really quiet, I might even spend time there in the future.
(SYD/MEL QF F lounges are nice, but the novelty had long worn off, except for the hairy pav. Now, if the SIN F lounge is serving the hairy pav, then I'll be there!)

It’s a pavlova that’s served broken up in a glass with Persian fairy floss on top, sort of like troll hair. It’s very good, the fresh fruit changes seasonally so it doesn’t get stale, and has been a staple on the menu since the current F lounges opened.

That is indeed the offending object, affectionately known as 'hairy pav', although it looks a bit tamer than usual. I don't know if it's staff members playing with me but mine often looks like it's having a serious accident with a hair dryer (don't try calling it hairy pav at SIN F lounge if they are serving it for a while - serving staff might not realise what it is for a while yet! But I've never even had them blink at my calling it at MEL/SYD F lounges).
It's one real signature pudding that they ALWAYS have, no matter how much downgrading they have done to other dishes (they used to have lovely sashimi-like things but I've not seen it for a while), and I am extremely fond of them.
Even if I am not slightest bit hungry, I always have it... Sad, I know! But it's my entertainment...
I still do it after what must be hundreds of times. Basically my attempt to find a new daft way of consuming it
The first timers often look a bit shocked at the hair, which is rather amusing.
