F class lounge at KUL
Meal: afternoon snack - The Malaysia F lounge at KUL is remarkable, with a great variety of hot and cold offerings! Shown is the buffet are where one helps oneself to the food. There are attendants who will bring you any drink you want. The dining area is very elegant with crisp linens and silverware. They use the same place settings as those used in first class on the plane.
Drink: Champagne and cappuccino
Comments: Excellent variety!

Route: Kuala Lumpur/LAX, August 2003
Flight duration: 12 hours
Aircraft type & Class: 747-First Class
Comments: Fabulous lounge, the best I have seen, other than Cathay Pacific's in HKG. This lounge was beautifully decorated and had two internet computers that ACTUALLY WORKED!
HUGE difference from this lounge to the oversized closet we were given in LAX for the flight over.
Food was superb and sorry but there was too much to list, but lets just say there was an overflowing salad bar, along with a dozen or so finger sandwhiches to choose from like duck & scallion, carrot & ginger, and of course tuna & egg salads, but with a Malay twist.....deliscious!
Pasta was fresh and the seafood sauce that went with it was loaded with shrimps and scallops.
Lounge staff could not have been nicer, more attentive nor professional. Good Fung Shuei throughout and very comforting. I just wish I had had more time to stay and enjoy this gorgeous and top class lounge! Now if only their aircraft and other lounges like LAX were HALF AS NICE AS THIS ONE......well then, you might see a score of 11 below!!!
