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

NP himself with a string quartet in tow to do the official “Summer Menu” launch! Is that normally a thing?

Dang, as I posted that I realise I should have got the ticker board in shot…😔

Anyway, food better be good today!
 
Ok, first things first. The better pic of the fabulous quartet playing on well after the official lunch and no, not in a Titanic (or Titanique) kind of way! They were great and so was lunch today. The Bridgerton soundtrack vibes were a hoot. 😂

I skipped the S&P Squid and went for the pork patties (they were rissoles when I was a child) but yummy, Vietnamese flavours.

The snapper, whilst a small serve was tasty

and well cooked (it’s steamed - so slightly different texture to fried/grilled).

We ordered the asparagus as a side dish (and some chips).

Then then the Tiramisu - yum, if not quite what I was expecting visually.

Standby to see a full review on other blogs/website from those in attendance at the long table.

What were they playing, selections from AC/DC?
Also once was given a deconstructed Tiramisu. Never again!

I just had a giggle at the picture in my head of putting the instruments through the x-ray machines... esp the cello :)

I'm such a child!

There’s a thread here about taking a sewing machine on board as hand luggage.

But the ladies weren’t flying - AFAIK. They’re certainly not serenading me to CGK…😀

Probably a first world problem and niche issue, but I always wondered Qantas‘ in my view terrible taste in beer offerings. It seems that they can‘t even offer some decent craft beers from micro breweries in the F Lounge.

Baby steps...

In a major overhaul to the Flying Kangaroo’s beer range several Qantas lounges have been stocked with James Squire ginger beer and a new local independent beer range including Hawke’s lager in Sydney, Straddie Amity Pale Ale in Brisbane, Bentspoke Crankshaft IPA in Canberra, Gage Roads Single Fin Summer Ale in Perth and Stomping Ground Big Sky Hazy in Melbourne. Customer favourites Stone and Wood and Cooper’s Pale Ale are being served inflight in addition to the lounge.

Aren't sowing machines big agricultural equipment. Perhaps it was a sewing machine? My wife took plants through the x-ray machine on a domestic flight recently and was taken aside for questioning. When asked what it was she gave a long botanical Latin name. They let her through.
