Was in the lounge for 4 hours prior to the CX250 departure on Dec 4th. Was pleasantly surprised by the laksa (esp. the soup), it's much better than the laksa served in the HK lounges. Dim sum wasn't impressive but not too much of a complaint. However, all the other food wasn't great. The vanilla panna cotta was really runny (it wasn't set properly or they didn't use enough gelatin) and the wild mushroom soup was quite thin. The drink options were fine but not that extensive.
Forgot to check out the showers, a bit of a shame since I had so much time there. Also worth noting is that even though CX238 departed just an hour earlier, the lounge was never completely full (max it got to was around 75%).

Just popped into the J lounge on the way to Prague and can confirm it is Sodexo. Some of the staff are wearing sodexho badges. Noodle seems as good as ever and plenty of staff. Oh, and the champagne is definitely slipping down very easily!

Flying out on CX250 in F on Dec 26. Since I have nothing else to do on the day, would you recommend getting there a few hours earlier to enjoy and grab a meal at the lounge? What about the AA/BA lounge? Should I also hop over and have a look?

I checked out the J lounge and I saw that they were serving Laurent Perrier, which I honestly prefer over the GH Mumm they served at the Deck in HKG in March
