FJI: Tabua Club Lounge @ Nadi International Airport

Really spicy chicken skewers in a somewhat stuffy lounge... 

In a blink of an eye, I found myself back at the airport. After a smooth check-in at the Business Class counter, my BFF and I went straight away to the 75-seater Tabua Club Lounge. The airline website describes it as a "Fijian Oasis", though that's certainly an overstatement. Let's take a look at what the was offered that evening.


Assorted Stuff

The spread of the buffet wasn't huge, but it did cater to different palates. What I enjoyed the most was the tender chicken kebab with its truly spicy, creamy dressing. The fried vermicelli, done Chinese style, was quite flavourful, but it was a tad dry. The other two items - potato salad and potato cake - were passable.


Cupcake & Bread

I felt that the cupcake was tad too hard in terms of texture, but the bread was enjoyably fluffy.


Fruits

The colourful fruits were really fresh and juicy. I ate lots of them to keep myself hydrated in the stuffy lounge where the air-conditioning wasn't strong.


Orange Juice & Fiji Water

The orange juice was leaning more towards the sour side. Free flow Fiji water, anyone?

Melon's Rating
Taste: 7/10
Ambience: 5/10
Overall: 6/10

Pika's advice: Economy class passengers can enter the lounge by paying FJD 75.00 (~S$48.85). The lounge was pretty crowded that evening, but at least I could make use of the free Wi-Fi service, even though it was a bit slow.

Delicious Indonesian 'nasi uduk' with chili prawns! The middle of this year saw me doing a long-haul flight in the Premium Economy Class cabin of Singapore Airlines' Airbus 350-900 aircraft for the first time. In fact, it was also my first time flying directly to Istanbul, Turkey from Singapore. In general, I enjoyed the two meal services: supper and breakfast.

Not wow-ed by its beef burgers though... Born in Germany, Hans im Glück (lit. Hans in Luck) is a burger chain named after a fairytale recorded by the Brothers Grimm. Known for its forest-inspired decor, the outlets create a cozy, rustic atmosphere. Here in Singapore, it's been rebranded as SERVUS German Burger Grill and it can be found at VivoCity.

Tasty beef lasagna by Brahim's Food Services, but no more... After so long, I finally managed to have a family trip again in December 2022 with Japan as the destination. Unfortunately, just like the last part of my Azerbaijan travel series, I've lost all photos during this trip, save for the ones that I managed to post to my Instagram feed. Let's take a look at what I had onboard Malaysia Airlines MH52 from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to Osaka, Japan.
