A Gourmet Journey Above the Clouds

Cathay Pacific’s latest menu, designed by Head Chef Tam Tung and his team at Yat Tung Heen, encompasses a vibrant array of authentic Cantonese flavors sure to delight passengers. Since opening in the 1990s, Yat Tung Heen has become a staple of Hong Kong's celebrated gastronomic scene, known for its elegant take on traditional dishes. This partnership brings that sophistication into the sky, showcasing the airline's commitment to providing travelers with a taste of their homeland.

Vivian Lo, Cathay Pacific’s General Manager of Customer Experience and Design, expressed, “Our mission is to enrich every journey by introducing our home city's unique and iconic flavors, enhanced through the culinary artistry of Cathay Pacific alongside Yat Tung Heen.”

Savoring Authenticity and Signature Dishes

The new 'Hong Kong Flavours' menu is a true tribute to the city’s diverse culinary culture. Economy class travelers can savor a selection of appetizers including marinated cherry tomatoes with preserved plum, leading to main courses like classic sweet and sour pork or chicken baked with aged mandarin peel.

Premium Economy customers will enjoy a more indulgent selection, featuring crispy halibut paired with supreme soy sauce, alongside braised beef brisket in chu hou sauce or braised duck with taro in pickled plum sauce. Each dish will be accompanied by quintessential jasmine rice and choy sum, delivering a full Hong Kong dining experience at 30,000 feet.
