Now to the food. With the amusee bouche the scallop was nice but the beef bland.
They obviously forgot something when i was given my second glass of champagne as now I was served the mixed nuts. By yhis time I was on to the Medoc.
The duck salad was nice.
I had the Massaman beef. It didn't seem to be the major part of what was served and rather bland.
I was on to the Gamay now. I thought you could have either the cheese or sweet. In fact everyone was served both. The cheese before the sweet; I liked the cheeses but the sweet was too sweet.
Mrsdron had the barramundi but said it was just all right. She didn't fare well with the wines. She had a glass of the Sav Blanc but there was no refill as they had only loaded one bottle. So she had the choice of 2 J chardies or the Y chardy. Was not impressed so went back to champagne. Not exactly a good wine selection.
I had the Shephards pie for the second meal and it was reasonable. Mrsdrron passed.
for the journey I read two thirds of Joe Aston's The Chairman's Lounge. Now I have been hard on QF but reading this book my opinion of QF sank further. Absolutely amazing what has gone on in the last view years.
Whilst reading I listened to som music. Amazingly they had my favourite album of the 50s and probably of all time.
I can still sing Jamaica farewell. That actually won me the first prize on a music quiz on a cruise. You got a bonus point if you could sing the first first verse. I got 3 bonus points for singing the whole song.
Next was my favourite album of the 60s. The Doors with the Doors album featuring the song which I hope is played as I exit the world.
I also listened to - Led Zeppelin, Dave Brubeck, Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald and Nat King Cole. They didn't have any of Queen or the Beatles.
We left Sydney right on time And arrived into Bangkok 40 minutes early.
