SQ 1st class lounge
i have not been to SQ 1st class lounge for a very long time.
for long flights i usually redeem business class using my credit card miles. & generally i used the asia treasure lounge which is smaller, quieter & more private.
SQ 1st class lounge
the food at the 1st class lounge was very good though.
the laksa, other than not having cockles, was the standard of any good laksa, very tasty.
jui kueh
jui kueh was pretty good too.
jui kueh
not the chinatown jui kueh standard, but pretty good.
roti prata
& roti prata was very good.
dimsum
dimsum was competent, ok.
pancake
i also tried the pancake. ok but normally i would skip dimsum & pancake, this time just to try.
expresso
coffee & the twg tea bags always good la. 🙂
breakfast
on board business class, i order a beef burger for the light meal & a chilean seabass for lunch.
croissant
i picked a croissant off the bread basket, it was pretty good. there were other rolls & bread, only so much you can eat.
fruits
a plate of fruits.
fruit yogurt
after that there was a choice of cereal etc i picked the fruit yogurt.
beef burger
the beef burger was very good. i am not a burger guy so i don’t take many but this one would rate very high up, the patty, bun, salad, all good.
chilean seabass
chilean seabass my favoruite fish for western preparation.
chilean seabass
this was good, firm, tasty. on par with good restaurant standard.
chilean seabass
mussels were good too.

lobster thermidor – return flight 4apr2016
on the return flight on 4.4.2016, for book the cook i picked lobster thermidor.
lobster thermidor – return flight 4apr2016
they served a whole lobster, i think a whole 1 & 1/4 pounder 680g typewith the meat + 2 pincers on the 1/2 shell.
lobster thermidor – return flight 4apr2016
meat was fresh & tasty, sauce was good, just right.
lobster thermidor – return flight 4apr2016
the dish was competent, no wow (like the chilean seabass on my onward flight). can’t expect too much on board so i guess that was pretty good already.
mango jelly – return flight 4apr2016
didn’t want ice cream. tried the mango jelly…very so-so.
pakthai – return flight 4apr2016
pakthai was ok, again competent. anyway pakthai not my favourite, & i only picked it on return flight as the other options were the western food which i had more than fair share over the almost 2weeks travel.
