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

[rogerkambah]

As I'm Flounging on Monday 1 Sep, I suppose the menu is changing on that day to the Spring Menu.

Appreciate a heads-up RedRoo.

How many rooms does MEL have?
Wonder if I should book one next weekend for the girls and I as we will be there for 3+ hours :idea:

Two rooms in MEL...

MEL F has two.

2 rooms, and looks like someone has already PMed the number...

Sorry, was busy "working"

 

[Princess Fiona]

The room has been booked
First time in the MEL suites so looking forward to it

I think the new menu is being released tomorrow in SYD F Lounge.
Saw something about it on Facebook.

I am in there on Thursday. Really hoping the croissant bread and butter pudding sticks around. Not hopeful as it strikes me as a winter dish.

No same Winter menu today, but still good.

Liked the Perrier Joubert champagne and the IB Pinot Rose, along with the Killicanoon Mort's Block Riesling. Also had a 2010 Rockford Shiraz.

Oh, the food: Salt and pepper Squid, Buffalo Mozzarella with Roast Capsicum and Cabbage, Minute steak with Horseradish butter, and for desert; Poached Quince, Hazelnut and Vanilla Gelato. All good.

Now thinking about a single malt before off to HKG - will try champagne at The Wing F for brunch before continuing to BKK.

I've normally always had the pav for dessert but tried the bread and butter pudding last Friday and was pleasantly surprised.

Good to see a Rose on the menu.
Some changes in the beers as well with Crown and Cascade making way.

Looks amazing. Cant wait until next Tuesday. I will be sure to try it all.
I hope that my QF93 flight is delayed a couple of hours out of Melbourne next month as well, to go Round 2

Damn the bread and butter pudding is gone. Will have to drown my tears in the banana and maple tart.
Also notice the breakfast time has been reduced from 12:00 to 11:30

The IB pinot rose was on the winter menu when I was there last week

Well posting from the Flounge. I had my first experience here Which was some what extended due to a almost 5 hour delay of QF1. After my meeting i decided to depart and head straight to the airport rather than attempting to find an empty desk in the Sydney office. Breezed through security and was in the lounge 10 mins after i arrived. Only to sit down to a message telling me of the delay.

Have taken full advantage. The coughin lamb with egg plant was delicious. The sweetness provided by the cinnamon and carrot perfectly offsets the bitterness i usually associate with eggplant.
The pavlova in a cup surprisingly tasted like a real pavlova, was not expecting that! all and all it has been a pleasant first experience and i suspect i experienced more than most!

Well, just announced QF1 equipment change. Now will not be departing until 10pm. Certainly getting my money out of the FLounge.
The banana maple tart is certainly worth missing out the bread and butter pudding
