Cathay Pacific partners with Hyatt to enhance inflight dining experience

Cathay Pacific is offering passengers specially designed menus created by chefs at Grand Hyatt Hong Kong and five Park Hyatt hotels globally.

Scheduled to run until mid-2017, Cathay Pacific’s passengers have the opportunity to enjoy signature dishes from the following flagship restaurants and chefs:

· Chef Li Shu Tim - One Harbour Road, Grand Hyatt Hong Kong

· Chef Sebastien Archambault - The Back Room , Park Hyatt New York

· Chef Satoru Takeuchi - NoMI, Park Hyatt Chicago

· Chef Andrea Aprea - VUN, Park Hyatt Milan

· Chef Joan Monfaredi - Annona, Park Hyatt Toronto

· Chef Frank Widmer - Parkhuus, Park Hyatt Zurich

Kicking off this savoury collaboration is the Grand Hyatt Hong Kong’s One Harbour Road. Until Aug 31, 2016, Cathay Pacific passengers travelling on all classes from Hong Kong to most of the long-haul destinations, including Australia, New Zealand, Europe and North America, can dine on traditional Cantonese fare by Chef Tim, Executive Chinese Chef at One Harbour Road.

The One Harbour Road menu for Cathay Pacific offers passengers a taste of some of Hong Kong’s beloved local favourites. Staying true to his roots, Chef Tim has created a delectable menu based on traditional ingredients and cooking techniques including dishes which are steamed, boiled and slow-cooked, such as a rich chicken soup filled with fish maw, sweet corn and monkey mushroom, and lightly seasoned with sundried mandarin that was inspired by one of Chef Tim’s mother’s recipes; perfectly steamed minced pork served with mushroom, cuttle fish and water chestnut, a nod to one of Hong Kong’s favourite comfort foods; and One Harbour Road’s signature mango pudding. Chef Tim has been with Grand Hyatt Hong Kong since it opened in 1989.

Cathay Pacific Head of Catering, Aaron Claxton, said, “This marks the first time we have forged a global collaboration with a world-renowned hotel brand to offer passengers such signature dishes across all our onboard cabins. The new inflight menus are set to enhance the overall inflight dining experience for our passengers, helping them to live a life well travelled.”

The new menus will be available on rotation onboard the Cathay Pacific flights.
