Not an attractive looking plate of food is it??

That's being generous

"Quarter of a hard boiled egg in a broth of olive oil and balsamic" ?

Tonight in SYD T3 J lounge.

I hope it tasted a lot better than it looks in the photo! :shock:

Is that honestly the whole thing?

 

[medhead]

what is it?

buffalo mozzarella (yes I know that's a tautology), prosciutto (Italian style made in Australia), and rocket salad.

Probably didn't help that I started before taking the picture.

It did taste very good.

mozzarella.

Yep. But I always get offered 2 serves. Good customer bonus.

I hope it came with sourdough

Thanks for sharing this with us. Glad you enjoyed it.

I think I mostly enjoyed the variety. I also usually have a bit of a chat with Domenico. Great news on his new son. Between him and hotdogs, flying Qantas when departing Sydney is a no brainer.

Yes, I fly with Qantas from Sydney as much as possible because of one staff member.

Thanks for your ongoing support and kind words. I'll be sure to pass on your comments to the relevant senior managers so Domenico is recognised appropriately (and cloned!).

Pat is another worthy notable mention... I can't remember (or pronounce!) her full name.. but always a cheerful, pleasant smile and fantastic service when I'm in the J Lounge in SYD.

Definitely agree with medhead, hotdogs are not suitable lounge food IMO.

Thanks for your kind words about Pat. I'll ensure she's also recognised for her consistent customer service.

I am loving those little folded pizza things - mind you pizza is one of my three favourite foods so you're already on a winner. Just wonder what happened to the pretzels.

The dough has been ''enhanced'' into pizza.

They have been walking around with mango sorbet - it is fricken freezing in MEL...

It's all about making sure your genuine MEL travel experience doesn't stop at the doors to the lounge

 

[medhead]

Mango sorbet! :envy:

 

[GoldCanyon340]

I'm not sure if the spinach and ricotta ravioli in DOM MEL J is officially the 'comfort food' but it's hitting the spot nicely and goes well with the Wolf Blass Gold Label Chardonnay. I think I'll have another serving, of both

Red Roo, could Domenico's clone work on the weekends? I miss our regular chats when I fly out on Sunday.

Domenico's service is impeccable - it's as good or better than the staff in the F lounge in SYD. Could you please pass on my feedback on to his manager.

Hot dogs work well in Koru Clubs . Fancy them in preference to the plate of ??? - looking stuff in the pic.

You'd quickly change your mind after 3 or 4 weeks. Variety is the key word. Variety.
