overall, it's a nice lounge but with a very poor F&B offering.

Yeah, the food SUCKS! I'd recommend walking over to the Delta Lounge in T5, which has better food and beverage. It takes me about 11 minutes (I walk fast and also know where to go) but it's all on the secure side and for me worth the walk.

If you're in the mood for drinking and have a long enough layover I would certainly walk over to the Sky Club. The KE lounge has pretty decor but has a pathetic little selection of self-serve alcohol, while the Sky Club has a nice tended bar.

However, there is a particular unlocked door that will lead an intrepid traveler into the KE first-class area where there is always a bottle of 17yo Ballentine's

It is a door that is not signposted. I don't recommend using this - if caught you could be thrown out of the lounge or worse. The F side is normally closely monitored by staff, and with relatively few passengers, they'll have no problem spotting an interloper.

This is true, and I would not reccomend it if you're not willing to shoulder the risk. Although I think playing stupid would probably get you thrown back into the business side. Maybe thrown out of the lounge, but I doubt about anything worse.

The first class side also has a lovely toilet room with a Japanese toilet

Unlikely to happen, but if you get someone on a bad day and security is called to remove you from the terminal then your chances of flying (same day) are diminished.

not sure if I wanna try this next time, sounds enticing. Agreed about the sky club vs. KE at lax.
