BRN: Sky Lounge @ Brunei International Airport

Decent Eggs Benedict, as well as Filipino garlic fried rice for brunch!

As my BFF and I had approximately two hours of layover in Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei before catching the next flight to Manila, the Philippines, we spent a bit of time at the one and only lounge at Brunei International Airport.


We had a quiet brunch inside the lounge.


Assorted Stuff #1

I filled my first plate with fresh salad, drizzling it with briny anchovy dressing that was quite robust. Accompanying it were some savoury cured meat slices, cheddar cheese and a biscuit.


Assorted Stuff #2

I didn't expect to see Eggs Benedict on the buffet line, which was executed pretty well, although the Hollandaise sauce could be thicker. I tried one of the potato croquette balls, which could have a crispier outer layer. The pancake and danish were pretty good.


Assorted Stuff #3

Filipino garlic fried rice made it into the menu that morning, which turned out to be fluffy enough and pleasantly aromatic. The stir-fried noodle was kinda insipid though. I relished the creamy scrambled eggs, as well as the crunchy garlic crackers, even though I'd prefer them to be less thick.


Fruits & Yogurt

I took all the different fruits available: grape, watermelon, honeydew and cantaloupe. All of them were fresh and juicy, although the watermelon slices could be sweeter. I also had a cup of aloe vera yogurt that was mildly sweet.


Coffee & Apple Juice

I had a nice cup of coffee that was fragrant and frothy enough for my liking. The chilled apple juice was imported from Saudi Arabia.

Melon's Rating
Taste: 7.5/10
Ambience: 8/10
Overall: 7.5/10

Pika's advice: It seems that they don't replenish the food items regularly. You may want to quickly grab what you like before they run out.

Delicious Indonesian 'nasi uduk' with chili prawns!

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.

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.
