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.

SIN: Yoshinoya

Trying it again in Singapore after years! Yoshinoya is the second largest chain of gyudon (lit. beef bowl) restaurants in Japan. Although its first shop opened in Tokyo, the name of the chain actually pays homage to the former town of Yoshino in Osaka Prefecture where its founder hailed from. After years of giving Yoshinoya in Singapore a miss, I recently found myself revisiting one of its branches at Bugis Junction.

Pancake x  soufflé originated from Tokyo! Hailing from Japan, Flipper's is a chain café renowned for its fluffy, jiggly soufflé pancakes. While I've never had the chance to try the pancakes in its country of origin, I was excited to finally experience them at the Westgate branch here in Singapore, which has been drawing long lines of eager patrons.

Surprisingly rich chocolate mousse! Here's the last post to wrap up the travel to the Americas. After travelling in the Business Class cabin from Panama City, it was time to head to the back of the plane for the next leg of the journey from Istanbul, Turkey to Singapore. Despite the more modest comfort, the food wasn't too shabby.
