DRAGONAIR LAUNCHES NEW INFLIGHT MENUS WITH PARTNERS FROM BEIJING

Passengers in all classes on Dragonair flights from Beijing to Hong Kong can enjoy the specially designed Chinese inflight menu by Beijing Dadong Roast Duck Restaurant. Eighteen dishes were selected to highlight the creativity of the restaurant which blends Beijing techniques with the essence of Western cuisine. The Diced Mushroom with Salad stuffed in Tomato appetizer is among the most delicately presented dishes. A healthy option is the crystal-like champagne jelly skilfully wrapped in a mushroom slice and served with a refreshing salad dressing. Other enticing dishes include Stewed Oxtail with Honey and Logan, and Sautéed Prawn with Diced Mango and Dried Chilli. 

First Class and Business Class passengers flying from Beijing can experience contemporary French cuisine created by the chefs of Jaan Restaurant at the Raffles Beijing Hotel. The series features 20 contemporary French dishes with a focus on lighter, healthier dishes from Provence that still capture the romance and elegance of classic French cuisine. Signature dishes include Chicken with Foie Gras, and Pan-fried Cod Fish and Roasted Beef Tenderloin in Red Wine Sauce. 

Dragonair General Manager China Sam Swire said: “Over the past year Dragonair has served more than 7 million inflight meals, each with a special ingredient – the genuine care to passengers shown by our cabin crew. 

“Dragonair has been proud to receive a number of major travel awards over the past two years which highlight the recognition from passengers and our peers in the industry. Such awards are important because they will drive us to become more innovative and provide an even-higher level of service,” added Mr Swire. 

Inflight catering is a very important part of the inflight experience at Dragonair. Since 2004, the airline has been cooperating with renowned restaurants to offer passengers even better inflight dining. This winter season, First and Business Class passengers flying from Hong Kong to Beijing and Shanghai will be able to select from seasonal crab roe gourmet dishes and a hot pot rice menu available at different periods.
