    Well, jetlounge did say that Jewels were a SATS subsidiary... so the guy wasn't completely wrong, I guess? Especially if Jewels supply the chocolate through SATS in a non-retail packaging.

    • Feeble Wine List

      Well I'm currently in 'The Private Room' and although there is the very tasty Veuve-Cliquot La Grande Dame, there isn't any kind of red wine selection (I didn't look at the whites). There were two choices -- a chianti (I think) and an Australian Shiraz.

      I had the Shiraz which was fine (a Tatachilla).

      To be honest I think a Grand Cru Bordeaux might have been a bit too much to accompany the superb hamburger (one of the best I've ever eaten).

      • Service?

        Whilst I'm able to comment on the The Private Room, I would say the service isn't great.

        I was sat at the far end and had to repeatedly seek out people to get me something to drink (nothing more dramatic than mineral water). Not really what I expected.

          Hmmm...this is very surprising to hear. I've sat out in Siberia and ALWAYS had people checking on me constantly.

            I camped out at the far end of TPR next to the new telephone booths/kids room in December and the waiters were checking up on me every half hour or so.

            Admittedly I was there for 45 hours (overnighting twice at the T3 transit hotel) and managed to try out quite a bit of the menu:

            Day 1 - Lunch (satay, lobster), Dinner (baked cod, chicken rice)
            Day 2 - Breakfast (waffles, pork rib prawn noodle soup), Lunch (lobster), Dinner (sweet corn and pork rib soup, hokkien noodles, fruit plate)
            Day 3 - Breakfast (fruit plate, waffles)

            It was a great experience but once is probably enough! Thanks goes out to Alain De Botton for the inspiration.

              How do you kill 45 hours in there?
              The world's too large a place not to go wandering.

              • 45 hours?!? That is equivalent to a marathon. Did your flight get cancelled? And you decided to near the airport on standby?

                    I just planted myself in front of the TV and watched EPL highlights and replays for most of the day while surfing the net.

                    I also went for the occasional walk around the terminals and visited the Butterfly Garden to stretch the legs.

                    The refreshed T2 SKL opened when I was there so I went to have a look as well.

                    Time flies when you're having fun.

                      Nope this was fully intentional. I had a two-day gap between arriving from BKK and departing for CGK so decided to make the most of that red boarding pass.

                      I would have gone for a later flight to hit the full 48 hours but wanted to experience the new First on the retrofitted 777-300 so went with SQ956.

                        I require photographic evidence by way of the daily menu, and if possible, pictures of all items consumed, thanks

                        I'm hardly worried - I've logged in almost 2 days also at TPR (photographed / documented)

                                Thanks for the inspiration Kyo. I had originally thought it might be crazy to spend that long in any lounge but seeing your posts this thread made me reconsider.
