Loved this resort in 2019 as a St Regis. Hope it works out.

Excellent flight across the South China Sea landing into KUL on time. MH product is decent with usb C charging and tablet holder. New Mercedes transfer to the satellite terminal!

Passport control at MNL T1 was easy and a relatively pain free security I headed to the A1 lounge for a quick coffee before heading to board flight MH805 bound for KUL. Today operated by a B737-800 9M-MXE

In a martini I agree. On toast with peanut butter it’s delicious

On this occasion I had it with poached eggs so it doesn’t photograph well.

Yes! The maple glazed bacon chop with a side of calafornia eggs. Ironically all the North American references lol

I can see where you are coming from but I prefer streaky bacon not back bacon 🥓 but Americans generally make it far too crispy.

You missed out not ordering the bacon chop at the CCR dining! It’s fantastic

Smoked salmon, leak soup and the monkfish

Yes exactly! Which is why pax aren’t compliant cos everyone knows it’s nonsense. I even had the flight attendant unlock the toilet for me today - but we had been in smooth air for at least an hour! All I wanted was a mug of tea though and I got nothing!

Boarding was also the shambolic process it usually is at KUL. The solution is agents need to stand inside the gate area and marshal boarding groups. At the jet bridge is too late! Every gets up and rushed the gate at the same time which seems to happen all the time at KUL

I must say MH managed the delay well in some aspects but poorly in others. Initial communication was great but it became clear they didn’t want to admit the additional 25min delay to make sure pax were at the gate. So we were all herded into the gate area before the aircraft even arrived

No! I didn’t see it on the menu! Although the yuzu curd desert sounds vaguely like a take on a pav.

Finally QR platinum lounge. Entry confirmed and settled in for a cheeseboard, lemon tart and a coffee. Will have a shower then nap for a few hours. The staff are incredible!

Next up BA. Was interested to see what the lounge was like after a recent refurbishment. Was refused entry as not travelling on a BA flight but they quickly clarified the lounge “was closed” but not closed

QF: First lounge was welcomed in. Opted for dinner been craving their laksa for a while. Started with the prawn wontons which were excellent
