Just pay HKD 60 if you feel needed..., for me money well spent.....

Will have to trek all the way back later since my flight departs from the gate right across from the Wing though. Definitely more food than the Wing J section so thanks for the tip, sxc.
No buggy voucher or anything, but the polite but not particularly friendly F check in agent let my one extra piece of baggage be checked without any extra fees so I'm happy about that.

Unfortunately, I think that buggy vouchers are only given to DMs traveling to higher numbered gates.

I've never found any food in the J lounge that warrants a special order compared to the F offering - and yes I'm including the noodles.

I only wanted to try out the buggies for the novelty, not so much out of necessity
The check in agent didn't say anything about the DM requirement, just that it was necessary for the flight to depart from Gate 40+ to be eligible. Either way I didn't get one haha
At The Wing now. The only difference from the J section is that it's a little bit quieter (less people) and there are waiters to get you drinks. Slightly disappointing but I wasn't expecting anything more.

The F Pier is the only option. But do not expect anything grand decent. CX has no dedicated lounge for F pax, so the lounge is full of OW Emeralds. Catering is a small hot/cold buffet and the food does not change much. You can order some noodle soup and some simple other food. The wine list is very poor, well below what you get onboard. Food onboard is better too.
The F Pier lounge gets very crowded in the evening (as it is the only one), hard to get a seat, hard to get service or newspaper. They are just unable to cope with the number of pax.

4-5 years ago, we ordered tom kha gai (or perhaps tom yum gai - I forgot) in Wing F. It was very good. I never got that again. This is what I meant, not just the noodles in J.
