Spice bar at Melbourne Qantas Domestic Business Lounge

[gdm73]

Qantas Business Lounge Melbourne in a particularly festive mood today, with the floor staff handing out Christmas coughtails (Vodka & Rum, from memory), ice cream sandwiches and fruit cups, whilst I munched down on my delicious wonton soup from the Spice Bar.

Christmas coughtails again today but Rad Na noodles on the menu (I've never had it before so didn't know what it should taste like but added some kim chi):

Good hrief. They seem to have that combo of options for the last 3 weeks or so. Normally they change every couple of weeks.

Not that the Rad Na is bad, but I woukd have thought it woukd have changed by now (had it at the start if and mid Dec)

Yeah, I'm a fan of the spice bar at the QF Domestic J lounge in Melb. Good for a quick dinner.

My little cousin got a kangaroo (called Matilda!) plush toy wearing a Christmas Qantas T-shirt from the lovely MEL J lounge staff!

Is MEL the only lounge handing out all these goodies? Really made their day!

I picked up the onesie in Brisbane, they had a few other kids things too.

By lunchtime Boxing Day it was back to business as usual.

Spice Bar offering had not changed, and I concur, it was nothing worth getting excited over...

Offerings today. It was nice. Soup could be warmer and the noodles it’s actually rice vermicelli (FYI) today. Maybe they ran out ….was informed to top up with condiment at the chilli corner

Also called Rice Noodles, not to be confused with cellophane noodles.

We starting a thread on noodles . Did some quick poking around. Spice bar was lazy. Type of noodles should be made clear given there was no sample. as noodles are made of some kind of starch/flour normally wheat, rice, tapioca etc.

Cellophane noodles = glass noodles? I tolerate but won’t have it if other options

Rice noodles and cellophane (AKA glass) noodles require very little cooking, which is convenient for places such as the Spice Bar, and they are gluten free.

Isn't this what you were served?
