New Michelin-starred menu on board Cathay Pacific

With Cathay Pacific, from January 2025, travellers on selected flights departing from Hong Kong can delight their palates with an exclusive 'Flavours of Hong Kong' menu, created in partnership with renowned Cantonese restaurant Yat Tung Heen. Founded in 1990 and led by renowned Chef Tam Tung, Yat Tung Heen is a benchmark for Cantonese cuisine, renowned for its ability to combine tradition and refinement, making the most of the authentic flavors of the ingredients.

 

The new menu, designed for Premium Economy and Economy passengers, offers a selection of typical Hong Kong dishes on long-haul flights and some regional routes, including China, Japan and Thailand. 

Among the delights provided, Premium Economy passengers will be able to start with a refined appetizer of smoked duck breast served with pickled vegetables and galangal, inspired by the traditional braised duck Chiu Chow, but revisited with a balance of sweetness and acidity. As a main course, braised beef with chu hou sauce stands out, served with choy sum and steamed jasmine rice, a classic comfort food of Cantonese cuisine characterized by rich and intense flavors thanks to the sauce made from fermented soybean paste.

 

From Italy, Cathay Pacific offers direct flights to Hong Kong from Rome Fiumicino Airport (from 5 June 2025) or Milan Malpensa Airport .
