UNLIMITED NOODLE BAR! Cathay Pacific BUSINESS CLASS & Lounge FOOD REVIEW | Seoul to London

[Music] hi flying out of south korea today going back to the us um but staying a few days in london just for a quick meeting some video shoots at the asiana lounge now fruit's pretty good fried chicken oh the skin is actually crispy you don't see that a lot on the buffet anyway flying cathay pacific business class today i haven't done that in a long long time but i do remember the food being really really good see on board [Music] so this will be a four hour flight to hong kong pretty cozy seat you get a little mirror to check yourself out headphones screen just pops right out good amount of movie selection there is going to be a dinner of seasonal fruit crab meat with apple pomegranate salad the main dish is either going to be wok fried prawns and sugar snap peas or korean bulgogi beef rib finger or roast chicken breast with black truffle port wine sauce let's go for this a selection of ice cream meal is served a stir-fried prawns with snow peas some carrots cabbage over rice i think this is a crab salad oh this looks good slices of almonds this is all giant pieces of crap oh the salad is like 95 crab meat this is great i don't think i've ever seen a crab salad where there's just much crab sweet pop from the pomegranate chinese food for such a long time carrots and the snow peas are really really sweet the prawns are nice and snappy i feel like it'd be better though i feel like it needs a little flavor like just this is some soy sauce i'm gonna drizzle the gravy over the rice it's an okay dish questioning on this plate 100 of crab i got a wish option for the truffle chicken so do you have a little bit of food regret so i feel like airlines you just offer a buffet that's just way to do it just arrived in hong kong and even the escalators are on the other side it's about 11 o'clock at night and hopefully this lounge is still ah the lounge is open there's just no food oh no this all used to be food this is a beautiful lounge though it's so elegant there's a bar right there wow so pretty i bet the food would have been great there's also showers here there's a tea house interesting so the needle area is still open oh there's a lot of noodles thank you so much thank you thank you this is a brand new lounge and it is just so pretty it's probably one of the most prettiest lounges i've ever been in i wish the buffet was open so i could see what's what they are offering over there but i'm excited we pretty much ordered everything on the menu you're hungry yeah we water everything like we were up at that bar for like 10 minutes watering pretty much everything and then they have a tea room so we're gonna go hit the tea room after this this is so cool it's ready this is so nice thank you thank you thank you so much all right grab the noodle soup you get the dim sum look at this a little baskets too so we got again all the noodles on the menu so this is um mala beef wonton noodles got dunder mill heart bone soup oh cha chao ball the barbecue pork bun the shomai what is that oh that's the custard bun we each got one we gotta eat this first when the lava is flowing delicious very peanutty but very mala tangible soup fantastic got the floating bits of scallions right here that's very authentic wonton bouncing a shrimpy not bad at all [Music] noodles are springy and delicious syrup there's the mala beef and mushroom over rice this tastes like a water braised beef look at that chicken dish very spicy and finally pork bone soup should be very healthy that is very herby everything's good sean mice delicious too bad nothing i don't like here i might just be really overly excited about all this but everything tastes good again i wish that buffet was open i bet you there would have been so much good food over there next time all right so you can look at the tea and choose one oh there's a lot hmm oh i like a little pour so you make so you order it and they make it for you got a chrysanthemum tea and a pure tea this is the poor tea delicious ah they even give me give it to me in a hot cup delicious delicious delicious chrysanthemum fluorine like the pores are more heavy more fermented more full-bodied it's a two-hour layover it's just flying by right now between the food and the tea lounge this is such a great airport lounge so cool so the same flight we're on last time this is interesting cafe delight look at minty yogurt toothpaste i get really excited for a big tube toothpaste i really do face mist and lotion put this in here everything else is pretty much the same layout as the last flight there is a blanket set and slippers which is really exciting see what's on the menu a large bowl of pea soup with minted cream and croutons braised beef brisket and tinted noodle soup zucchini and green asparagus risotto chicken random with nasi lemak wok fried pork ribs with honey and chinese olive sauce there's a cheese selection then dessert i like this this is the all-day food so braised beef brisket and tender noodle soup you can have that all day so that's also the main dish so oh this is perfect i can have that soup whatever i want so then i'll just go for the nasi lemak or the pork ribs pork and prom bao and then just random snacks there's a breakfast as well looks good [Music] dinner is served this is a really simple layout for cathay standards just a simple nasi lemak and a piece of rye bread nasi lemak one of my favorite dishes this thing is curry chicken little try fish with peanuts cucumbers that's pretty delicious yeah turbulence is pretty crazy right now i'm happy i did not order a boiling hot bowl of beef noodle soup sambal is delicious i wish it was more spicy but chicken has tons of flavor the curry is sweet and coconutty while i'm eating watching this uh documentary on anthony bourdain's life feeling a little emotional i mean i probably watch everything this man's ever made and he's such a food hero to me anyway the little fish and crunchy peanuts probably my favorite part of the whole nasi lemak experience and it's really hard balancing will peanuts on the fork with this crazy turbulence i'm gonna do a little less filming and concentrate on balancing the food on my fork good morning about six more hours to the uk i am starving let's get that potato soup it's the beef noodle soup with really thin noodles that broth is really nice some hot sauce [Music] this is definitely better than some instant noodles that a lot of airlines give you this is delicious noodles are extremely chewy oh you got a whole piece of tender right here giant chunks of beef this is a really delicious beef noodle soup being able to get this anytime you want as much as you want as a snack that should tie me over at this time some dim summer fruit even kanji chicken kanji oh con she's not my favorite food in the world especially savory coffee being in northern chinese i'm really used to it every time i eat it it's pretty good dim sum is really good actually right before breakfast try to get another bowl of beet noodle soup and they have a bun i didn't get they both right now no surprise noodle soup was amazing alright two more hours till we land i'll see you in london [Music] just got to london um actually didn't realize the first stop we were making in the uk was manchester and then the airport walked from terminal one to terminal three in manchester i felt like we were actually walking to london but here we are and it's raining i like that this hotel definitely looks haunted though cozy little room but look at this view amazing just falling leaves all day long bathroom that was pretty nice shower stall towels hotels in the uk are so extremely expensive this is the only sort of affordable one that we could find in london that's not creepy at all oh this place looks good flat iron so this apparently is a change steak chain that's really popular and it looks awesome so first of all any place that gives you a little mini butcher knife i'm a fan of them so you get steak's homemade beef dripping chips that sounds so freaking delicious bunch of sauces wild mushroom peppercorn chili mail beef special it was a burger yeah some good eating is about to happen apple and parrot they also give you popcorn rendered in beef fat i love this place food is here this is the flat iron steak this is the bavette steak so um what they're saying is the bavesta is a little more chewy but got a bit of a more intense flavor and the flat iron is just melty cooked medium rare oh this just feels so tender just kind of prodding it with my fork also got creamed spinach two different sauces and these are the beef dripping chips i think these are fried and beef fat these are so good wow these might be some of the crunchiest chips ever i mean listen flat iron steak just for the sake of using this i'm going to cut this in half the flat iron steak is tender dip it in some of the sauce this is the mushroom sauce oh wow i would highly recommend the sauce the mushroom sauce is so earthy ton of mushroom flavor and this is the peppercorn sauce wow that's fantastic as well this is the scottish above that steak they said it's gonna be less tender for more flavor oh i like that more way more deep flavor i'm pretty tender as well this place is so nice cream spinach is good like they made this with fresh spinach also delicious the fries everything sauce the steaks i just overheard they got up uh they may have a rib eye if they do i'm getting that too i love this place sold out of the ribeye too bad i'll definitely come back to this place this is really cool at the end you get a little mini cleaver that you can exchange for some ice cream or just keep it it's pretty cool i like this we just put it in here yeah okay there you go thank you so much wow look at that this is really really good thank you so much that's a really good deal so a steak is about 15 bucks and that's of course including tax including gratuity and the steak is amazing and ice cream alone this is delicious ice cream just get this for free i'm gonna go back there again like in like two hours three hours all right it's about 5 p.m
