As Marie Antoinette once was claimed to have said "Let them eat pancakes" or maybe better still an off topic Carbon Tax. :shock: Sorry could not resist.

Nor have we spoken about CNS or HBA.

There may not be any pancake machines in the CBR lounges but the Crowne Plaza Canberra has one if you need a hit

There probably is one, in the CL.

Flying out of CBR tonight... Will see if it is around... Could be out the back but will investigate.... Report back later...

... I asked why the J lounge did not have a pancake machine and the QP lounge had 2. They said there should be one in each lounge.

So you may be lucky and find a pancake machine in the Mel J lounge. If not do what I did. ...

... and the QP queues for their machine doubled ...

None have been in the QP or the J lounge the last few times I've been in town. Maybe they haven't made it there yet.

Same this morning (21/7/2011). Had to slum it in the QP lounge to get a pancake and then walk back to the J lounge to eat it. J staff said there should be one in each lounge, so it looks like the kitchen staff that serve both lounges had forgotten about us pancake poor but deserving WPs in the J lounge.

Still QP 2, JL Nil in MEL.

I'm sitting in the QP lounge in CBR typing this - not only is there no pancake machine but there's no soup, the toaster is still out from breakfast, and the little packs of butter have been "enhanced" and they now have two different types of revolting margarine... Another three weeks and I'll be WP and in the J lounge instead, where I understand there is also no pancake machine, but where they may at least have butter...

 

[QF WP]

Rebekkap, I'd have to agree that butter is better (but maybe not as good for the waistline - not that I have that issue) and congratulations on your impending increase in status.

Why can't QF get some consistency? Two in most QP's would suffice and at least 1 in each J Lounge (otherwise the lines would be long and take too long to get pancakes). I'm sure that all the CLounges already have them - anyone care to comment if they've seen them there?

Thanks somewhat OT but butter and marg are roughly equivalent calorie-wise, so approximately the same for the waistline!

Meh, if you are eating either then bad luck chuck

Seems most people on this thread are happy to guzzle down some pancakes as well which aren't exactly healthy for you

I'd settle for just one pancake machine in ADL QP.

The food there is getting worse, not better.

They used to have cake in the afternoon. Gone. Yhey also had very nice pickles and mayonaise. Also gone.

Every other QP I visit has better food than ADL. Why?

I was flying QF last Monday morning but seeing a friend off, who was flying DJ, on a slightly earlier flight. I took her ino the DJ lounge and had a really nice breakfast with lots of little muffins and barista coffee.

After seeing her off I went to the QP to look for the pancake machine (I try to avoid morning flights so haven't been there in the morning for a while). Obviously I was dissapointed.

Of course it is possible that I'm blind and just didn't see it.

ADL is one of the few that have it out as a breakfast regular! I don't know exactly what time they take it away though... maybe you got there just a bit after the breakfast rush? Or maybe they forgot to put it out. Check when you're next there - it should be on the right hand side of the food as you face it all

I mean, you still need someone in the kitchen refilling the batter anyway.

From what I know, the batter comes in bladders already pre-filled. Much like what you would find if you opened up the card board box that cask wine comes in. Therefore, I think that anyone could simply bring out the bladders and simply plug them into the machine.

I agree about the food.

J lounge food is a bit better than the QP but it still could be better.

saw two machines at the QP this morning at MEL. Took the first flight to CBR and scoffed down a pancake before running to gate 12!

 

[ashleyn]

There was one in the PER QP domestic lounge on Monday morning, I was surprised by it and it kind of scared me, so I didn't get any, regretting it now lol pancakes would be the bomb, way better then the loaf of bread I consume in toast form in the morning whilst I'm there.

The Perth one kept breaking down and needed constant supervision. The pancakes are a bit average anyway.

Actually saw someone doing this on Saturday. Indeed there is a bladder, that requires the air being squeezed out and then it’s attached to the machine. I’m not sure why they could use bigger bladders though, considering breakfast can sometimes be very busy.
