Current Qantas First Lounge Menu (SYD/MEL) and relevant topics

[CaptainCurtis]

Nope.

There is normally three types of champagne on offer (not on menu) and some slightly better wines offered only to F/P1/CL.

Yikes that's shameful... $20 bottle.

Something new on the MEL menu - it is spicy!!!

Crispy braised Lamb, I'd be intrigued to know how they cooked this as it was dry and crunchy on the outside but moist and sweet inside.

Nice flavour, although for mine a little too sweet.

Revisited this. Somewhat different - much of the heat (+Garlic) has been moved to the side bowl.

Even better ... can mix and match ...

Consustent with the Spice Bar mentality I guess.

I just had the Pad Krapow in the Melbourne lounge. Delicious but very spicy if you pour the side dish of chilli and garlic over it.

That where I am now ... boarding for SIN in 40 ...

... and no I used about half the side bowl but picking pieces, although I did give the rice a rinse. (I hope any seatmate can handle Garlic Breath. I know I can as SWMBO eats it raw ...)

Only the brave would do something like that.

You're supposed to pick up individual bits of chilli or garlic to eat with the dish.

But... whatever floats your boat...

I could see that... braise first and then a flash fry?

Fried

Not a chef by any means - just someone that has a huge interest in cooking. When cooking protein, especially meat, the idea is to ;

1. Twice fry the meat - cook once until the meat is cooked thru (use a cooking thermometer to measure the internal temp), season with flaky salt & let it rest. Make the sauce in which the meat will be served. Once the sauce is ready, fry the meat once again, just to crisp up the outside, add it to the sauce and serve immediately

2. If the meat can be cooked in an oven, then cook it until 90% done, take it out, let it rest. Fry again before adding to the sauce base.

Both the above will keep the protein cooked & moist inside and crispy on the outside. It is worth noting that the sauce base, should not be too saucy (think more like a chill-basil sauce, or oyester sauce diluted with soy or warm water) when serving crispy meats.

Feel free to come and say hello, I’m wearing a pink and orange t-shirt and have an orange backpack, sitting by the window.

That's what I was trying to explain - in my own convoluted way of writing Flash Fry is the way to go to get crispy exteriors.

Looked around just now, no joy. I'm at one of the work desks with the small clacker board behind.

I looked around too but didn’t know what you looked like Serfty . Enjoy your flight to Singapore. Just boarded QF9 to Perth.
