Virgin Atlantic Lounge, Newark: poor cousin of LHR

25th April 2013
Whilst the Virgin Lounge in Heathrow is somewhere to linger, I cannot think of anywhere in Newark Airport that I would want to linger. The airport is continually being rebuilt, and the lounge had changed since my last visit 6 month previously. Having said that, they provide a supper for overnight flyers who want to go the sleep for the whole flight, which can be a useful thing if you have to get going the next morning.
The good surprise on this visit was a dish of prawn laksa, a spicy prawn and noodle soup which was served as a main course.
This hit the spot for me: tasty, spicy (surprisingly so for a pre-flight meal) and hot scoring an 8.5 on the scale. It is tricky eating a boiled egg with chopsticks, but necessity is the mother of invention. There was a side of sweet chillie sauce which I did not use, as it would have spoiled the base flavour. Well done Richard, this was a good one.
