Vietnam Airways business class lounge food
The food available in the Lotus Vietnam Airways business class lounge in Ho Chi Minh Airport was fresh and varied. They have plenty of options to choose from. If you were looking for Western food, Chinese food, or Vietnamese food you will find it in the lounge.
There is a Pho station where you can create your own Vietnamese Pho noodle soup, which is great if you fell in love with it while on your stay in Saigon. I happily slurped down a bowl before my flight.
There were plenty of different seasonings and flavours to add and many of them are also able to be used with the congee (a rice soup of Chinese origin) So get creative!
I was there over a breakfast service, so I saw plenty of bread options along with the favourites: sausages, bacon and eggs.

Other than a great selection of soft drinks and fresh juices, the lounge also provides bottled

- Red wine
- White wine
- Sparkling wine
- Rum

There are often additional spirits to choose from, however, these tend to change and are not always available. This time they had Cognac and a lychee spirit.
