Right before the poached chicken sandwich:

The pretzel are great.

I find them waaaay too salty, after eating a few bites, my eyes were about to start watering.

inb4 you're just soft.

There was Chicken Laksa in the CBR J Lounge around 6pm yesterday. Was pretty good

Looks good

From last week:

It was salmon, roasted/caramelised onion (looked like chestnuts at first) and a lemony yoghurty cheese thing (I have no idea what it was, they didn't have menus).
Nice and different!

Had the - you guessed it - chicken laksa again on Friday.
Looks like a regular menu item, just like the Cantonese chicken in the bain marie ...

Was just in the Melbourne domestic J lounge and was offered a breakfast "plate de jour".

IIRC, it was Toasted focacia with feta, roasted capsicum and egg.

Very rich and quite nice.

Did they only toast it lightly? It barely looks toasted! Otherwise looks delicious

So it's actually open again - what maintenance looks to have been done during the two week closure. :evil:

It was certainly toasted albeit lightly. It was quite crunchy on the back.

I believe they reopened Sunday. Not much apparent maintenance - they still have not fixed the glass benchtop over the servery area.

You mean that havent done any maintenance like they said they would. How surprising.:evil:

The maintenance has unfortunately been deferred to next Christmas.

I've had the same before and it's quite nice..

I have only ever seen the muesli in the SYD lounge. Apart from the capsicum that sounds quite nice.

It's more like a red pepper as opposed to capsicum

 

[simongr]

They are the same thing - capsicum is the general plant/fruit with Capsicum being the generic australian term for the larger mild fruit.

Capsicum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In MEL this evening. Didn't read to well or look much, but is excellent.

 

[simongr]

I have had that a couple of times - nice.

Yeah that chicken sandwich is good.
