Btw could anyone share what they think of the food in this special Rosewood menu? So far from the scuttlebutt I've heard, the overrall response seems to be "meh" and "I rather stick to dan dan noodles"

Not all J customers have access to the F lounge. And some of them may hopefully be waylaid in the cabanas at Wing F?

Tried the new Rosewood Legacy House menu at Pier First Class Lounge.
My overall comments is that it's definitely an improvement compared to the regular menu. But some items are more fussy than they need to be.
Soup: better than the regular Chinese soup.
Abalone and tofu: both taste good and interest contrast of texture, but need eat separately since if you try to cut the abalone, it will squash the tofu.
Prawn and rice cracker. Good taste, but only 1 prawn is not enough. Also the bowl of rice is not needed since the rice cracker is sufficient already.
Dessert: taste is fine, but can make it more thick.
If they continue to do collaboration with Rosewood, I would suggest the just do some more simple dishes from Holts Cafe.. Something like their baked pork chop rice will be a crowd pleaser IMHO...

Also, at an F lounge, it not feeling like it came out of a can is the bare minimum!

I like the Western menu better plus I am really not a fan of the "Legacy House," which is overpriced average Chinese food in a pretentious setting.
Other Rosewood restaurants are better.
The breakfast menu is actually quite underwhelming at the Pier and they really need to try harder.

I am not expecting the wine list or menu to improve any time soon.

No plans for that anytime soon despite record profits. CX will be sticking to their "prudent spending, declining to offer passengers perks such as discounts on tickets amid growing calls for the company to give back to the community".
