Qantas Salt & Pepper Squid thread

[Cognac]

From SIN last week. Decent, imho.

Syd Lounge last Tuesday, mrs Mort enjoyed.

MEL lounge on Saturday the 14th. Not too bad.

I had multiple servings of S&P Squid at the SYD FLounge. Only took a photo of one serve though.

SYD F pretty standard.


SIN F. My first visit to this lounge and I hate to say it but IMHO the S&P SQ was better than SYD. Bigger serving plus addition of diced shallots was brilliant.

 

[mviy]

Bigger servings in SIN would be a great thing there as if going all the way between AU and LHR you’d typically have limited time in the lounge

 

[kermatu]

Singapore. Excellent.

The Salt & Pepper squid is available.

Fresh chilli appears on the squid in the Melbourne F lounge and a slightly different version of the green chilli dipping sauce

That looks a better presentation than most recent ones.

First time partaking in the squid here in the MEL FLounge. Definitely noticed a difference compared to Sydney. Not sure it’s better or worse, but certainly different.

At least this week's chillie order was fulfilled...

The colouring on that batter looks odd.

The colouring on that batter looks odd.

It's the faint glow of the usually missing chillie...

Remember, there's a subtle blue tinge at MEL.

Deep fried elastic bands, I don't understand the attraction.

And that’s a whole debate in itself. Some think it needs more chilli, some think it’s way better with no chilli

Whoever came up with the marketing gimmick should be awarded a million dollars. Now I'm brainwashed to think salt and pepper squid equals five star french cuisine

Deep fried elastic bands sum up the squid in SIN this evening
