Malaysia First Class Lounge at KUL
From our arrival gate, it was a short walk to the center of the international terminal. No passport control as you either connect to another international flight or go to passport control to enter the country.
Lots of lounge signs but with no clear direction to get to any of them.
More lounge signs. There are indeed escalators to the upper level but the are hidden and accessible only after you leave the concourse and go down a narrow unmarked hallway. Very strange.
The Emirates Lounge was obvious, being near the center of the terminal. But I had to search for the Golden Lounge. Finally, a sign.
There it is. Now I know but definitely hard to get to unless there is some secret elevator and entrance that I missed.
A little confused by the Satellite designation. Does this mean that there is another main lounge somewhere?
But once inside, it was clear that this indeed was a major lounge, the name notwithstanding. After checking in at the counter, Business is to the left, First Class to the right. Even MH staff isn't buying into the Business Suites thing as the lounge dragon welcomed me to "our First Class Lounge to the right". LOL.
The First Class side is very impressive.
Since there is a dining room, the serve yourself options are somewhat limited.
After relaxing for a bit, I headed for the dining room. Beautiful decor and setting, with a excellent staff and service.
A lot of miles on the First Class menu which oddly enough featured mostly western options.
Yap, yap, yap. Yes, we all want to hear about your day. Oy.
Tiger Beer to start.
The very strange napkin, not much bigger than a cocktail napkin.
I ordered the Won Ton soup which was pretty awful. But hey, the lavosh and breadsticks were good. What a dissapointment and a total waste of a gorgeous room and setting.
Back in the main lounge, the desserts were tasty.
