Is anyone able to confirm whether the summer menu posted above is available in Melbourne?

I'll be in MEL lounge tomorrow, I'll report back

Just for comparison, menus from the CX F lounges in HKG

The Wing


The Pier F menu was slightly different. The burger there was delicious. They also had a mini tasting menu (didn't have time to try it)

The pad krapow was truly terrible yesterday in the MEL F Lounge. Salty to the point of being inedible.

The bao was also very tough — not soft and pillowy as it should be.

Everything else was enjoyable. Particularly enjoyed the Gal-bi.

The Calypso coughtail was excellent — the hint of smokiness from the mezcal was very nice.

Champagne back on the menu?

Possibly a Christmas special, like the Grange

Qantas uncorks Penfolds Grange at its first class lounges

High flyers can enjoy this iconic Australian vintage during the Christmas holidays.

Champagne back on the menu?

I the morning I was there, they had the three on the menu and an unlisted Champagne which was the Lallier

Champagne back on the menu?

Pretty ironic that they server much lesser champagnes in what's meant to be the flagship lounge. Champagne offering in the QF SIN F lounge is so much better.

What is the latest drop in SIN?

Not sure about latest, but it's usually along these lines...

MEL F today:

Pretty sure that was you at the table next to me at MEL F dining today. Unfortunately I'm a little too introverted to say hi, but thanks for the hint about getting Christmas PJ's from the front desk.

The Grange was good!

So jealous as it's no longer on offer after walking past it on the way to the lounge:

Back in MEL and back to normality - no Grange.

Strange Flavoured Chicken - it is a cold dish ...



I quite liked it ... sauce has a kick, more pepper than chilli - I guess that is the "Strange" bit ...

Nice enough in its own way ...

I’ve never been to the MEL F lounge but why do pics always have a blue hue to them?
