Seats 2DG
After seeing our F BP, one of the FA's greeted us and escorted us to our seats, where the Purser and Senior FA also welcomed us and stayed to chat for a few minutes. Would we like a glass of Champagne? But of course, what would Moomba do? Tonight, the 2000 Laurent-Perrier Brut Millesime. Excellent.
Our private charter to MUC. Just the two us in First tonight.
Our FA brought PJ's and amenity kits, and more champagne, of course! Although EF showed 1D occupied earlier in the day, no one showed as the Purser announced "boarding complete". An early push-back, short taxi and we were on our way. Shortly after take-off, more champagne and our menus.
Tonight's menu.
Warm scented (hint to AA and others) towel.
Our amuse-bouche tonight was a delicious artichoke dish with radish garnish.
Our smiling FA Laurent came down the aisle with the set up cart, announcing "show time". And indeed it was, an amazing two hour orgy of food and drink, that had my princess announcing "I'd go to Europe once a month if we can fly Lufthansa and this flight". Yikes! Would you settle for once a quarter??
The starter cart complete with the dry ice show...
Delicious Caviar and a glass of iced Smirnoff...
The starter tray.
After our iced vodka, we moved to a delicious 2007 Schloss Vollrads Spatlese trocken Reisling to accompany our starters.
Smoked Trout mousse, poached Leeks, Mustard Dressing. Fabulous.
Duck Confit, Sherry Vinaigrette. Excellent
Seared Watermelon, Goat Cheese Mousse, Banyuls Glaze, crushed Pistachio. A little weird for my palate.
Seasonal Fresh Green Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette dressing.
Pork Tenderloin Medallions, Rice Cake, Spinach, Baby Carrots and Porcini Sauce... a little dry but nevertheless delicious and the 2006 Catena Alta Malbec was an excellent choice...
Cheese and Desert cart:
My cheese selections and a delicious Niepoort:
May as well use as many glasses as I can, since no one else is using them tonight.
So many to choose from...
My Rum Baba. Excellent.
And our goodnight bon-bons, and more Niepoort:
Whether it was the food, booze, late hour or combination, I crashed and woke up 5 hours later, apparently oblivious to turbulence that woke some of the resting FAs.
Although, we were still pretty stuffed, we had a little breakfast including made to order scrambled eggs.
After a beautiful landing, we arrived at the gate 20 minutes early.
Next up, the MUC First Class Lounge...
