[ 桃園機場TPE ] 東方宇逸貴賓室 Oriental Club Lounge 第二航廈

桃園機場裡獨立自營的貴賓室,總共東方宇逸1間和Plaza Premuium3間,一二航廈各有2間,

其中第二航廈的Oriental Club,整體環境我認為較好,甚至比航空專屬的部分貴賓室還優。

因為進入的門檻低,人潮相對也多、會較吵雜,上午的尖峰出境時段有時甚至會一位難求。

Taipei Taoyuan International Airpor boasts a collection of independently operated lounges, including one Oriental Club and three Plaza Premium Lounges, evenly distributed across Terminals 1 and 2. Among these, I find the Oriental Club in Terminal 2 particularly noteworthy. Its ambiance and overall environment often surpass those of some airline-exclusive lounges. However, due to its lower entry threshold, it tends to be more crowded and noisier, especially during the morning peak departure times when finding a seat can be a challenge.
在第二航廈的Galactic Lounge還沒營業前,星宇從二航出境的美國線就是用Oriental Club。

東方宇逸承接先前的摩爾貴賓室The More,2020年重新裝潢開幕,一樣在安檢後的四樓,

辦的較以前好得多。若沒有可以配合免費進入的信用卡、龍騰卡、Lounge Key或新貴通卡,

但又需要使用,建議不要現場才臨櫃付費購買,可以在網上買單次入場券,會比較便宜,

有些網站甚至不到NTD 600,是現場價的一半。如果是搭紅眼的夜間航班,就需要稍微留意,

東方宇逸和航空公司無關,23:00就關門,也會在關門前30分鐘結束供餐,時間要抓好。

Before the Galactic Lounge in Terminal 2 was operational, Starlux Airlines used the Oriental Club for their departures from Terminal 2.The Oriental Club, which succeeded the More Lounge, underwent a significant renovation in 2020, reopening on the fourth floor post-security with much-improved facilities. If you don't have a compatible credit card, DragonPass, LoungeKey, or Priority Pass for free entry, I recommend purchasing a single-entry pass online rather than paying at the door. Online prices can be as low as NTD 600, about half of the on-site rate. However, if you have a red-eye flight, be mindful of the lounge's operating hours. As an independent lounge, the Oriental Club closes at 11:00 PM, with food service ending 30 minutes prior.
因為裡頭人潮常大於空位,原先規劃的休息區,也都有人在用餐,整間幾乎都是器皿的翠響,

真的是想要休息小歇的,倒是更建議買杯飲料,在機場隨便找個角落或免費的空間放鬆一番。

Given the frequent crowding, the designated rest areas often turn into makeshift dining spots, with the clatter of dishes filling the air. If you're seeking a peaceful rest, you're better off buying a drink and finding a quiet corner or free seating area in the airport.
只要到Oriental Club,我肯定來碗牛肉麵,另外和師父說牛腱多來個幾片。有時師傅心情好,

懶得和我這奧客肥宅一搭一唱,就會直接問要幾片牛肉,說幾片就會給幾片,互相直球對決。

東方宇逸裏頭肯定是能吃個粗飽,沙拉區、自助熱食區、蒸籠區、現煮區,菜色是挺豐富。

現點現做區的品項有牛肉麵、滷肉飯、燙青菜、麻油麵線、蔬食麵,雖然也非真的現點現做,

但有個師傅在那,弄碗熱騰騰的麵,感受就是不一樣,比較像是個正餐,不是KTV自助吧。

滷肉飯有時候會再多附個蝦捲,這天就單純滷肉飯,可惜滷肉是那種肉糜,自己是不太喜歡。

酒水是東方宇逸較遜色的,只有台啤的啤酒機,其他像是葡萄紅白酒、威士忌的酒類都沒有。

Whenever I visit the Oriental Club, I make it a point to have a bowl of beef noodles, and I always ask the chef for a few extra slices of beef shank. Sometimes, the chef skips the pleasantries and directly asks how many slices I want, delivering exactly what I request. The Oriental Club offers a hearty meal with a variety of options, including a salad bar, hot buffet, steamer station, and freshly cooked dishes. The made-to-order section features items like beef noodles, braised pork rice, blanched vegetables, sesame oil noodles, and vegetarian noodles. While not truly made-to-order, having a chef prepare a hot bowl of noodles adds a touch of authenticity and feels more like a proper meal than a KTV buffet. Occasionally, the braised pork rice comes with an extra shrimp roll, but unfortunately, the braised pork itself is a minced variety, which I don't particularly enjoy. The lounge's alcohol offerings are modest, limited to a Taiwan Beer machine, with no wine or whiskey options.
以機場自營貴賓室來說,東方宇逸我認為已經算是不錯的,下班直奔機場搭機,要在這填飽,

肯定沒問題。有時甚至誇張一點,我還懶得進航空公司的商務艙貴賓室,伙食還沒這的好,

所以乾脆先來這吃飽,再為去哪打算。不過航空公司這樣對待商務客或高卡客,也挺心寒的。

For an independently operated airport lounge, the Oriental Club is commendable. It’s a reliable spot to grab a fulfilling meal, especially if you're heading straight to the airport from work. Sometimes, I even skip the airline's business class lounge in favor of a meal here, where the food is often superior. Though this practice might reflect poorly on how airlines treat their business and elite passengers, the convenience and quality at the Oriental Club make it worth the detour.
