The Lounge
I was leaving Singapore my first time flying on Cathay, so I went to the First/Business lounge pre flight to have a comfortable seat and some food.
Given that it was a combined lounge, I wasn't expecting it to be too fancy. Being in Singapore, I should have known better. It had a very well appointed dining area, and large seating area above the entire terminal. It also had better alcohol for mixers than the First Class lounges in Hong Kong
Dining Area
The dining area has a lunch counter type facility with sushi, noodles and burgers. The chefs are in plain sight and take your order and craft your meal.
Snacks
There is a buffet/snacks area that carries sodas, food of many kinds, treats, and tea. It's for people who don't have time to sit down and order a meal. The food is good, just lacks the presentation value of the dining area.
Summary
This is a very nice lounge with plenty of space so you never feel crowded. The level of service for a satellite lounge is really good especially with the drinks available. Asia definitely has a class system, but it is based on income and not circumstances of birth, as evidenced by the offerings in this lounge.
