Cathay Pacific recently announced a partnership with Hong Kong’s Michelin-starred Cantonese restaurant Yat Tung Heen. The new collaboration will elevate the in-flight dining experience of premium economy and economy passengers.

“Teaming up with Yat Tung Heen, a culinary powerhouse in its own right, allows us to transform our inflight dining experience into something even more memorable for our customers,” said Vivian Lo, general manager Customer Experience and Design, Cathay Pacific. “We are thrilled to bring this elevated experience to our customers in Premium Economy and Economy, especially since it is our first time partnering with a Michelin-starred restaurant for our menus in these cabins. Our hope is to enrich every traveller’s journey by giving them a taste of our home city’s unique and iconic flavours, brought to life by the culinary craftsmanship of Cathay Pacific and Yat Tung Heen.”

Chef Tam Tung leads Yat Tung Heen, a beloved Hong Kong restaurant since 1990. The Cantonese fare highlights the natural flavors of the ingredients. Its crafted in-flight menu offers local dishes on select flights departing Hong Kong starting this month.

“In my years as Head Chef of Yat Tung Heen, we have always strived to deliver a Michelin-worthy dining experience to our guests with the best possible ingredients,” said Chef Tam Tung. “To see this legacy extend to the skies with an iconic airline such as Cathay Pacific is very exciting. I look forward to more travellers being able to experience the signature flavours of Yat Tung Heen.”

Premium economy dishes include smoked duck breast, braised beef brisket, stir-fried seafood, egg fried rice, crispy halibut and more. In economy, guests can enjoy marinated cherry tomatoes, baked chicken, and sweet and sour pork, among other offerings.
