Qantas First Lounge in Singapore

[kermatu]

Round 1:

Chilled soup was very nice. Good choice for Singapore I reckon.

Tuna sashimi - good.

Squid - average. Not the best I've had, but certainly not the worst.

Ox-tail ragout and pasta - simple but tasty.

Lounge pretty quiet (and has been recently apparently, at least prior to QF2 ).

The prawn wontons are one of my favourites there!

Lunch time arrival to SIN - right off 6E from MAA


Started with a hotel towel. Followed by olives.



Starters was Burrata and roasted red peppers


Mains was the three cup tofu, Gai lan and cashews with rice and a generous serving of fresh chilli




Dessert was pandan sponge cake



Later in the evening had chips as snacks followed by tiramisu.

Sorry for delay. Here is Round 2:

Wontons, solid as usual. But needed more chilli (or perhaps better mixed with the vinegar).

Laksa was thoroughly enjoyed. I sampled it and agreed it was good.

Chicken rice predictably very bland. But a generous serve and decent for what it is. Improved with a bowl of crayfish on the side, which I enjoyed with some fresh lime.

Sorbet delicious, but a large solid block so took a bit of time to consume.

Good service. Pretty relaxed.

I didn't partake but was offered Tolpuddle Chardonnay as the under the counter special for P1s etc. Have enjoyed that wine in the past. Didn't see anyone else have it but not really sure how special it is.

Confit Tomatoes? With Fish.

It was good ...

 

[LionKing]

Hainanese Chicken Rice. Pretty good.
I am very disappointed that there's no Lunar New Year decorations and red pocket for distribution.

Is there usually?

I had this dish earlier in the year in January and thought it was pretty underwhelming.

That was Lunar New Year. I thought Qantas, being an Asian carrier and have such presense in Asia should be celebrating with us.

The Hainanese chicken rice and the laksa have always been disappointing. I don't even bother with the laksa anymore. Thought I'd give the chicken rice another go yesterday but, same disappointment...

Did you sit on that menu card or was it handed out like that?

Qantas is an Australian carrier not an Asian carrier. But I do agree that since it flies to so many Asian destinations that it would be smart to do something for the Lunar New Year and make passengers feel good

Tatty menu card

I had to google to find the meaning of the word "tatty" (lol). But yea, the menu card was tatty ...

Aren’t those red pockets from businesses just added waste? It’s not like they have cash or anything valuable in them do they?

It has some value in the second hand market:

I don't mind the laksa so much but I do wish they'd use the correct noodles!

I agree about the noodles! The crayfish is too rubbery (and clearly frozen) and lacks flavour.

 

[Townsend]

Tonight the crayfish is not rubbery but I see what you mean about the noodles.
