Noodle Bar Pager

I almost forgot that I had taken this picture :

The Cathay Pacific Business Class lounge at Hong Kong International Airport has a great noodle bar that serves favourites like wanton noodles and dan dan mian. It's understandably popular with Asian passengers so it does get busy at times and one might have to wait 8-10 mins for a bowl of noodles.

When that happens the staff would give you one of these devices so that you can piss off and wait at your table, rather than crowd around the bar and getting in other people's way.

Cool, eh ?

yeah. this little handy buzzer was pretty popular in cafes in europe quite a few years back before it hit asia (or at least i saw one in asia). the one i had in spain was a cute small rect. one. but i agree, this is cool.

PS: i LOVE the noodle bar in the lounge too! But i much prefer the jap noodle when they have it:)
