Those Hot Smoke Margaritas and Godfather Sours are winners with me.

I had the Godfather Sour and an Applewood G&T last week in MEL, all very good.

The prawn brioche was the favourite food option. I had the prawn, mozzarella, pork and squid. That being said the MEL EK lounge is currently opening at 5:15pm and so I trekked over there for some better cheese and champagne.

When does the menu change to Spring?

Nothing like a good old lounge crawl! I do it myself in SYD INT.

I 100% agree however I'd rather spend time in the nice places

I think my record has been HKG earlier in the year. I went Wing First, Wing Business, QF Lounge, Pier Business and Pier First. Yes I know rookie leagues just 5.

Last Thursday, I had 3.5 hours and could have done 7 in MEL with QF Plat, Amex and Priority Pass. It would have been QF F, QF J, EK, The House, Marhaba, Priority Pass and Amex lounge. Instead I did pop into the House just to have a look (10 mins), spent most my time in the QF F and about 30 mins in the EK lounge.

That beats me! Two is my limit. I did two at FCO earlier this year. Even in 3.5 hours, that hard yakka!

We sampled the Lallier Rose yesterday and it was very nice, much better than the brut.

Chilli caramel pork with crispy Brussels sprouts and apple puree. WOW!!! As a card carrying member of the Society of Brussels Sprouts Haters, I went well outside out of my comfort zone to order that dish. But boy oh boy was it delicious!!!

Grilled lamb shoulder with Qantas honey glazed parsnips and carrots, balsamic and rosemary sauce. Very, very nice!

Last month, i ordered that "hold the sprouts" and it was terrific (if somewhat small). I repeated the order ... yummy.

If you didn't know they were Sprouts, you could be a convert @serfty - they were delicious!

I asked the staff to pass on my compliments/appreciation to the chef and mentioned that whilst I hate Brussels sprouts, that dish was totally delish! Apparently a fairly new chef on so they were suitably chuffed.

I thought my aversion to Brussels was a childhood thing and might be cured by extreme maturity.

During COVID, SHMBO was consuming a plate of srteamed Brussels Sprouts. The outdoor was interesting and I was prevailed upon to try one. So I did.

Ick!

It is what it is ...

Pretty certain the secret to making them taste good is to serve them with other stuff such that no longer taste of Brussels sprouts
