On my previous few visits to Hong Kong post Covid, I did not manage to visit the Hong Kong SilverKris Lounge. I had to make do with the Plaza Premium Lounge which honestly, I did not enjoy.
But for the latest trip, I was finally able to visit it. Singapore Airlines has finally reopened its SilverKris Lounge at Hong Kong International Airport, following a long break of more than three years.
For context, these photos is taken on 8th Jan 2024, after my short trip to see Jacky Cheung concert in Hong Kong.
Hong Kong SilverKris Lounge : Location
Hong Kong International Airport’s Singapore Airlines SilverKris Lounge is located at is located at Terminal 1, in the Main Departure Hall Level 6, near Gate 5. It is not that far a walk from the Immigration and a slightly longer walk to the usual gates that Singapore Airlines flight leave. At least it is NOT AS FAR as the AMEX Centurion Lounge at HKIA.

Conclusion
To be honest, I always find SilverKris lounges’ food quite boring (standard buffet) in many lounges but I do find the Hong Kong one very nice.. lots of good local food.. I find that they made a good effort to make the spread of food very uniquely local and yet very tastefully done.
Read about my visit to Singapore newly open SilverKris Lounge at Terminal 3 too.
