Dragonair Joins The Square to Offer New Inflight Taste Sensation

11 Apr 2011

(HONG KONG) Dragonair is launching a new inflight menu in conjunction with The Square, an acclaimed Chinese restaurant in Hong Kong that has been awarded a Michelin star for three consecutive years.

The new inflight menu, with over 20 dishes, will be available from 16 April 2011 to 15 April 2012 for all passengers from Hong Kong to Beijing and Shanghai, and for First and Business Class passengers to Taipei and Kaohsiung.

Dragonair General Manager Inflight Services Cecilia Leung said: “It is a great honour to collaborate with The Square to bring their world-renowned Cantonese cuisine onto our flights. This is a new partnership but we share the same goals in terms of providing only top-quality food to our customers.

“Catering is a very important part of the inflight experience at Dragonair. With Michelin-star signature dishes being served on our aircraft, I’m sure our passengers will enjoy an even more memorable flying experience.”

The Square District Head Chef Tsoi Wai Ping said: “We insist on presenting our delicacies by preserving the genuine flavour of ingredients. The partnership with Dragonair will provide us a chance to introduce our ‘no-MSG-added’ menu to people from around the world.”

Among the newly introduced dishes, signatures of the Square are also featured in the inflight promotion which include:

Chilled Jellyfish Buds and Cucumber with Chilli Sauce

Steamed Cod Fillet with Salted Mini Dried Fish

Wok-fried Pork with Dark Vinegar Sauce

Stewed Ox Cheek with Curry Sauce

Ms Leung added that Dragonair is aware that our passengers are becoming more health-conscious even when selecting inflight dishes. “We have adopted a ‘no-MSG-added’ policy for our menus which makes our collaboration with The Square a perfect match.”
