Dishes that make the grade include delicate creations including steamed chicken with morel mushrooms and goji berries, as well as humble classics like steamed cod fillet with Chinese ham and shiitake mushrooms, and simple yet delectable desserts such as black sesame tart with tofu ice cream.

All Cathay Pacific menus are meticulously revised and presented for internal tastings a minimum of three times before they are cleared for launch, but the Duddell’s dishes served on Cathay Pacific flights have set a new standard for how fine dining can be translated in the air: elevating passengers’ experiences while showing off the best of Hong Kong cuisine.

Lo adds, “We’re thrilled to bring more authentic Hong Kong flavours to our travellers, from those looking for a taste of home to those with adventures in their hearts.”

With the next iteration of the Cathay Pacific x Duddell’s inflight menu about to take flight, what other dishes can passengers wrap their taste buds around? There’s only one way to find out: in a First class or Business seat, high above Hong Kong.

The latest Duddell’s x Cathay Pacific menu is available in First class and Business on selected long-haul flights departing from Hong Kong, from now until February 2025.
