New Adelaide Qantas Club & Business Lounge

[Beano]

There's 'al-dente' and there's 'al-dente'. It depends on the cook. I'm not sure I like my pasta truly al-dente. Sometimes pasta can be so al-dente it's tough and you can still taste raw flour. I like a softer pasta. At least it's cooked. I'll just have to wait and taste it.
PS I've had potatoes al-dente ie raw, served in a retaurant. They were sent back. Some foods just need to be cooked thoroughly.

You do realise this is an airline lounge, not a restaurant? Would love to see you mulling over the $11 wines they serve

Yeah, it’s a bit weird.
They’re a basic cafe serving $2 meals not a Michelin starrestaurant

Hmmm... QF F MEL, SYD, SIN, CX PIER F, WING F Haven (RIP)...

Defo feel more like restaurants to me......

The Lallier they serve in the QF SYD F Lounge has a distinctly $2 cafe taste about it ...

Yeah - you won't find many arguing about the Lallier.

coughtail menu's been pretty strong the last couple of quarters though (even if the coughtails aren't......)

Not a fan of pasta, especially when travelling as I usually end up wearing it. I also can't cook it well. Give me a nice cheese platter, fruit and crackers and I'm good. I understand the cheese platter there is quite nice.

If this helps, to test pasta throw it at the wall. If it sticks it's ready!

Just be warned that restaurants typically don't appreciate this...

You clearly don't dine in Melton very often.

Wow. First time through since all barricades removed.

The layout looked a bit screwy and “what were they thinking” when it was half finished but now the full concept visible I really like it. Well done whoever came with the concept. Open spacious, different areas for different folks.

I love how’s it’s club lounge and business lounge

 

[Beano]

Am I the only one who doesn't like the seating arrangements. I hate the bench seats and there aren't enough tables to work on. If there is a group travelling they all gather round and pull seats together and can block or at least restrict the central ailse. I'll tolerate it because that is all there is but I don’t like it. I like an individual seat, even if I have to share the small table. This is a case of "packin em in".

All quiet here or am I in the wrong thread? Anyway, sort of pleased withhe the ADL J lounge. Had schnitzel a la parmigiana. Very nice. Would have had seconds but eating out later. Food is on a six cycle so hopefuly the same next time..

Probably just the initial novelty of the new lounge starting to wear off a bit now that it’s been open a while.

 

[AustraliaPoochie]

Heh, my first visit wont be till Dec.
Now that the J lounge and the QP here in ADL, are now separated, (I guess it would be in other capital cities).
Used to love the fact that in the past, I could be in 2 lounge at the same time, now its one side "upper crust" other side the pub.

 

[Beano]

It's still a bit char-a-bancish but there are some nice spots to sit.

Or any of HM's prisons.

I've had the parmi as well. I feel like it was more of a fried thigh with neoplitan sauce and parmesan but the chicken was tender and tasty so I was a fan!

My first visit I had the prawn pasta which was also relatively enjoyable. The buffet on that occasion also had fish bites and chips which were the best chips I've ever had from a buffet (I just wish they were there to accompany the parmi next time).

I can also dream!
