Thursday evening. Pork was very tasty if not the highest quality meat.

No magical extra condiments needed either

But I see a teaspoon worth of chilli paste in your plate … so there seems to a need, the need for chilli 🌶

Plant based?

Nice catch! I figured I better check out the condiments but it wasn't needed.

I'm not sure what the pig ate

Spice Bar at Mel J today (18/09)



Having the veg wonton noodle - definitely TOOOO salty to my liking. Reeks of soy sauce ... The wonton itself is nice, but disintegrates rather quickly in the salty broth. Doesn't hold its shape for more than 5 mins and one might not be able to finish the dish within 5 mins ... so all in a ok dish, will not be ordering it again ...

Happy Grand Final Weekend!
Go... chicken!

Good noodles today. It took me way too long to realise there was chilli oil at the bar to the left.

Not spice bar related but just had a little snack of fish and chips before treking out to gate 12

Today's Spice Bar. Even with added chilli oil...not very spicy. Would rate as acceptable.

This was exactly the same menu yesterday (oct 5) at Spice Bar.

Pretty nice for what it was, but I have had tastier from the SB.

It's been a few time now I visited the domestic J lounge in Melbourne, and I must say I am quite impressed by the quality of the food that comes out of the spice bar. Really tasty, clearly a level above what's being traditionally served in J lounges. I think it's rare enough to see Qantas doing something good for their frequent flyers, that we should give some good feedback.
That's why I would like to encourage anybody visiting this lounge to come and say hi to the guy serving the food, and to give him a compliment for the food. He was certainly pleased every time I praised him, will be nice if a few of us do that regularly.

Gosh, the laksa was just fantastic. Whoever is preparing this meal in the kitchen, we don't want him to leave the job for something else.

Can we advocate for the chef's pay rise?

Today’s offerings. Tasted quite good, but really difficult to eat with the rice in it. I also had managed to miss the condiment bar to the left all the previous times I’d visited, but made up for it today. Good selection!

I’ve been caught out on the chilli a couple of times with that one. I can take spice but a few too many seeds can get you.

Agree it’s not practical to eat with just the lettuce leaf and the mix can border on stodgy. Overall a decent one and welcome mix up the soupy noodle ones with a white shirt.

Friday afternoon offering. Certainly a few people requesting this one without the chilli. The pork was very good (confirmed with a second helping) and for the record I did go for the chilli.

I was also there Friday late afternoon. I didn't think to request with/without chili, so it came with a single wide slice of chilli on top of the pork mixture, which I was able to put to one side.

Enjoyed the pork but no chili was added by default. Visited the condiments section

Mel J is definitely a cut above Syd for food, the latter still hasn't brought back the juicer at breakfast

Interesting addition to the toasted sandwich options here at Mel ... now can do toasted wraps!

This is offering today. Tasty. On the left side is the chicken n rice. I topped up a bit with condiments and minced beef.

Just ate the same and it was delicious (but small)
