Food Galore Over SYD, with GA as the Highlight...

[Handiman]

woowww wwoooww and woww awesome!

[Dent@SUB]

On the next gate, parked another GA A332, PK-GPL, bound for DPS...







Two beautiful winglet...




Gate 35 for DPS flight was ready for boarding...






And then gate 33, this "kampung guy"'s gate now ready for boarding also...





So... how was this "kampung guy"'s flight?
How was the service?
Was there really an improvement on the catering side?

Just stay tune....

[Dent@SUB]

Then it's time to leave the lounge and went to the gate...

Ahhh.... the gate has already opened...





There's already a little crowd around the gate...






But the boarding process has not been commenced yet...
So this "kampung guy" just walked around, and took some interesting pictures...

QF A330...




JQ A330..





Ahhhh... B744 Air Pacific....
In one month time this "kampung guy" will be at that island... FIJI....





GA A332, PK-GPO... his ride to CGK...
(Look at the cloud... interesting form of cloud there... )

[Dent@SUB]

Molton Brown....






Actually he wanted to take a visit to the shower room, but don't why, he didn't go there...
Instead of that, he just sat in front of the window, and watching the tarmac...

A little spotting from the lounge...

[Dent@SUB]

And now, ladies and gentlemen, please enjoy their brunch...
















And then, the "kampung guy"'s fetish... the toilet...

[Dent@SUB]

Food section....

[Dent@SUB]

Still wanted to enjoy the lounge before the flight, they ended the spotting session half heart-ed... And went down to the immigration counter...

With their fast track cards, all went smoothly... no queue for them on the immigration counter...

GA used Qantas Business Class lounge for their premium pax..
This is a right choice... Qantas Lounge is the best lounge that GA can get at SYD...

And here are the pictures of the Qantas Lounge...

[Dent@SUB]

Look at those SQFlyergirl's fav, EK B77W... Was our Grand Dame SQFlyergirl onboard that plane sitting at 2A??














Another view of the airport....

[Dent@SUB]

SYD is very friendly with planes spotter...
They even provided an elevator to the viewing deck...

That yellow thing is the elevator...






And here are the pictures of the viewing deck...







And for aircraft lover, please enjoy the pictures...

[Dent@SUB]

On the next day, it's time for them to fly back to SUB via CGK...

Around 10AM, they were already at the airport....

Here are the FIDS for that day...




GA using row H for check in, quite on the end of the hall...




GA using 3 separate lines for their pax, economy, executive and GFF elite member...





There were two GA flights that day... one bound for CGK, the other bound for DPS...

Economy counter quite packed with pax, but the J class counters quite deserted that morning...







Garuda provided one special courtesy counter for their pax, which's very useful for GA's foreign pax... Visa on Arrival counter...







Soon they've already got their BP and fast track card...




But... knowing this "kampung guy" hobby, they didn't go straight away to the immigration...
(His hobby? Another food? In the airport? you must be kidding... )

He dragged his nephews to follow him to the row B check in counters...

Between row A and row B, there's a door to the outdoor viewing gallery...

He wanted to do some plane spotting....!!
(Hey... he has another hobby, not only food.... he love aircraft also... )

[Dent@SUB]

Thanks for posting such an amazing report.

Glad you enjoyed your time in Australia.

I am off to cook an early dinner, your photos have made me so hungry.

Thanks mate...
I always enjoyed myself in Sydney... I love the food there so much....
Btw, please do share me your cooking's pictures...

.....
I believe the ppl here at SQTalk are all outstandings, Cheers to all .

Couldn't agree more... These people in this community are just fabulous...

[Dent@SUB]

Hi there, what a fantastic food trip, never been interested to visit Sydney, but now i have a strong reason for visiting the city, i will certainly copy your trip guide, inc flying with Ga. Thanks again for an "eye opener" trip report. Cheers.

Glad to hear that now you're interested with SYD...
There's a lot, I really mean a lot of good food there...
Don't make me to start talking about Glebe, Leichhardt or any other suburb that full of interesting restaurants...

Geez, Probably I need to book a flight to Sydney for the Lebaran Holiday to try all foods in this TR that i haven't tried it before, (if i could lost some kilos during this month )

Great TR, Great Food, Great Comments, and waiting for more details on your trip! Cheers

And then, just hurry to grab your ticket... it's really hard to get a ticket out of CGK for that time frame....
More to come after this...

Oh yum! I love nasi goreng java. Most of my GA memories are from the 70s and 80s on their D10s, D9Ss, and F28s! Which reminds me of the nasi goreng song from that era that they sang at the Pasar Malams in Holland

*sings*

Geef mij maar nasi goreng
Met een gebakkend ei
Wat sambal en wat kroepoek
En een goed glas bier erbij!

70s? 80s? Were you grown up in Indo?
Btw, you can also have Rijsttafel on board GA to AMS...

Seeing this just makes me miss Sydney so much.

So sorry that I made you suffer....
And then, just grab a ticket, and go to SYD for a food festive...

xcuse me to OT TS, but B727 I admire you , you are like multilingual dictionary, how many language can you speak ?

Haha, the real person you should admire is the OP Dent@SUB who travels all over and writes the most detailed TRs with the awesomest, mouthwatering food pics!

But to answer your question, I speak enough to cover all the places I regularly travel to (half of them on SQ! )
