Ended up going to the Wing J lounge where I found a delicious spread of food + beef brisket noodles (which weren't available for order in the F lounge, no idea why) I'm likely not going to make Diamond this year and I have 0 regrets about it. The first time I ate at CX J lounge they served Peking Duck and a lot of excellently done Asian dishes (spicy water-boiled fish, XO & chili beef) and even more inspired Western dishes (roast lamb shank, actually crispy pan-seared salmon). This has been a terrible experience and after I spend a bit of time in a cabana / shower I'm going to head over to the Qantas lounge for a nightcap & some dessert. |

I had the Omnipork dish (which was a vegetarian dish) on Friday; it was absolutely disgusting. It was basically a bowl of gravy with bits of the 'fake pork' and vegetables. It looked gross and tasted horrible.

as an update, I filled out a written feedback form expressing my earlier thoughts. I hope CX management sees this sentiment and acts on it. to be honest given their premium prices we ought to expect premium service, otherwise we could just defect to other airlines fairly easily. it's pretty sad when Qantas outport J lounge is better than your home flagship F lounge.

I also almost always go to the QF lounge in HKG now instead of CX F...

New December menu at The Pier FC @ HKG:
(the ribs were DELICIOUS!!!) https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...918a28116.jpeg |
We went through on Nov 30, this was the low point for me of all F lounge visits in HKg. We wound up in the J side eating the brisket beef bowl at the noodle bar. Funny thing was 2 of 3 entree choices in F dining were from the noodle bar and the host even confirmed they just went over and grabbed from there and brought to the F side.

Of course, I'd prefer a ribeye, but wouldn't expect to find that cut at any airline lounge, I suppose.

That explains it! I didn't bother reading the description and hope they put a warning sign, like when something is hot.

Why does Sodexo keep trying with these weird congees? A while back it was pumpkin congee in HK, and now butternut squash??

The pumpkin one was horrible. Maybe the UK does better congee than HK.
