A little after 1pm - my thinking is that we might have picked a day spa gap b/w QF7 and QF1

Good for you! I've never snared an afternoon spa spot unless flying F myself so you were lucky. Interesting to know if the check-in offers are more common?

Check in offer was a first for us via a very good host we hadn't seen before at check in - I hope she stays! Other than that very hit and miss at the Flounge desk - but some success on mid week afternoons.

I had the sticky beef and pavlova in the Melbourne F lounge yesterday, they were lovely. The strangest thing I witnessed was a family bundling chips into serviettes as they were hurried out of the lounge to fly to Honolulu on JQ!! I also think that one was a 'minor celebrity'........

MEL F menu

The Stonewell Shiraz was in the decanter in SYD yesterday. I was in pretty early and had a lot of travel still to do, so wanted to keep the drinks to a minimum** but having enjoyed the wine in MEL just the other day I had to have one glass.

i think this is a great menu, but even so after multiple visits there's only so many snapper, pork loin, lamb shoulders and corn fritters one can eat. On my SYD visit I tried the pulled pork bun - it was also fabulous.



** After a Bloody Mary and two champagnes. I guess I failed.

Thanks. The menu looks good. My next international flight isn't till winter. Looking forward to that menu.

 

[hb13]

The winter menu will kick in at the start of June and you will usually be able to get a preview a week before that - usually Ausbt have that info early.

Hunan pork belly, smells delicious, tastes great with a lingering afterglow of chili:

 

[Pushka]

Will be trying out in 6 weeks time. By smell, is it a porky smell or chilli fragrant?

Chilli is subtle ... aroma is a combination ... garlic strongest, overall tastes beaut!

Side Note: The Casella Limited Release Shiraz is very good ... much better than average for what has been available recently. Then again I was weaned on such reds ...

Possibly now out of date, but for something different had the banana bread for breakfast in SYD the other day:
