Use the onion as a scoop.

Excellent suggestion and obvious when I think about it, many thanks!

SQ Suites SYD - (SIN) - LHR

I must admit the double suite is impressive in terms of the enormous open space and off course the magnificent double bed. Now I get what SQ was trying to do with the refurb. While I still think a single suite isn’t necessarily superior to F, the double suite is absolutely amazing

A truly spectacular way to fly!

Use the onion as a scoop.

definitely the way to go. I even use that technique in Singapore and Thailand without getting strange looks.

So the +ve is that we get >1hr in TPR as opposed to zero time - TPR we all know what that means

What is the secret of your technique

Please tell the crew and tell them its absolutely unacceptable that no provision for cutlery is made for the satay. Its very QF to not provide cutlery
...
If a separate saucer for the sauce is provided, I usually use the satay itself as a scoop - just pull the satay down to the tips with your teeth then scoop up the sauce. The onion is also another method. By the time I finish the satay, there is no sauce left. However, any remnants is licked off. If slurping noodles is de riguer, then licking the sauce off is a nothing burger. Basically satay is a very hands on dish.

So was there a discussion re who gets to face backwards?

Oh good grief - that would be a short discussion - poor old M would not get a look in

Standard pour Champs in SKL F T3 when they have stock:


Remember back a few posts ago where I posted pics of the rubbish LH serve to *A F pax in the poxy Senator Lounge? What a disgrace

And Champs on offer in SKL J T3 this morn:

Mrs QS remarked when we were in SKL:
"How do we know whats in the bottles are actually the same as the label?"

The reason she said this was because some years ago while shopping in a Brand name luxury goods department store in SEA, she was sold a handbag (of the same brand as the department store brand) which turned out to be fake on discovery some years later. Friends in SEA always say they watch the opening of bottles of whatever at the table, otherwise it cannot be trusted. I understand that an airline lounge might be different but the suspicion remains.

Im not a drinker, so i would not know a PH from a cheap bubbly.

So how good are SQ? I’ll tell you how freakin good they are!

Originally booked on SQ207 MEL-SIN - we had BTC lamb racks the 2 of us - due to delayed dep FRA / late arr SIN we missed connection with 207 - SQ scurried around and got us into F on 211 SIN-SYD then a connecting QF J flt SYD-MEL.

Onboard 211 now awaiting push back (bit of a delay as late sub of 777 due to mechanical issue) - but Crew just came around and advised our BTC from 207 transferred to 211

How freakin amazing is that - Customer Service taken to the extreme

So you should also be eligible to submit a claim for €600 compensation for you late arrival into MEL, per pax? unless you voluntarily rejected an much earlier arrival into MEL due to the F/J issue?

Delay ex FRA was caused by traffic control not granting dep slot as allegedly bad weather somewhere en route was causing havoc - we were all onboard ready to dep - certainly not SQ causing delay - not sure how that affects any claim - not fussed really - just another exciting experience we go through

ATC can be a reason for an airline to exclude EU261. Weather in and of itself is not a reason. Nor does the delay have to be ‘caused by the airline’ for a claim to be valid. ‘Bird strike’ for example does not absolve the airline from responsibility… it’s an inherent risk or running an airline and not ‘extraordinary’.

I suspect they’ll put it down to ATC. Although for others who might be in a similar situation there’s nothing to stop lodging a claim, the worst that can happen is the airline says ‘no’.

 

[Quickstatus]

there’s nothing to stop lodging a claim

This might push Cruiser to the top SQ list of passengers most likely to feedback.

 

[wenglock.mok]

The connection to QF497 is going to be a little tight though as SQ211 appears to be arriving more than 30 minutes behind schedule.

All the best Cruiser!

I like eggs benny but can have it at any nice hotel for breakfast. The Dim Sum and laksa combo was very good

SQ is adding five more champagnes to first class menu!

Singapore Airlines is adding five Champagnes to its first class menu

Travellers can now pair their caviar with a delicious collection of limited-edition bubbles.

While we are on the champagne topic, I’ve noticed Krug keeps running out mid flight. I know that I’m probably the main cause for the fast evaporation on my flights but I also remember SQ used to keep half bottles to open in case the full size ones run. Not anymore. Thankfully Comtes never runs out and I like it too so all good. I just don’t understand why they don’t change the quantities loaded if, by the crew’s own admission, Krug is far more popular and both champagnes cost about the same.

Btw the third option they currently offer, Grand Cellier d’Or, is cough.
