Hong Kong is the place for all things yummy! From drool-worthy street food to delectable fine bites, Hong Kong never fails us. Less than a month after announcing that it would be giving away more than 500,000 free tickets, Cathay Pacific has unveiled plans to bring the city’s illustrious culinary tradition to the skies. This airline is offering Michelin-star meals 30,000 ft in the air.
This Hong Kong Airline Brings Michelin-Star Meals Mid-Air
With some of the top hotels in the world and a long history as Asia’s financial centre, Hong Kong is also a hotspot for foodies, featuring dishes from South East Asian, British, and Cantonese cuisines. It might be one of Asia’s smallest countries, but it has one of the continent’s most spectacular food scenes. Around 71 restaurants in Hong Kong alone obtained Michelin stars in 2022. While the majority of them are located in the most lavish buildings, this airline is taking things a step further by doing so at a height of 30,000 feet.
Michelin-starred Dudell honoured Hong Kong’s thriving gourmet sector by crafting an exclusive menu for the airline. Dudell’s original restaurant in Hong Kong has been a local favourite since it first opened in 2013, providing upscale Cantonese food and hand-crafted dim sums that already make it worth the trip.

Business And First Class Passengers Will Be Treat
Only First and Business class passengers flying from Hong Kong will be able to enjoy the three-course meal, which includes an appetiser, a main course, and a dessert.
First-class travellers have a choice of two entrees: lettuce-wrapped minced pork with veggies, prawn crackers and sweet pomelo, or cucumber and chilled abalone with black vinegar. The main courses are just as flavorful, with choices like the wok-fried lobster in white pepper sauce and fluffy rice, or sweet, sticky-glazed braised pig belly.
Business class travellers will have the option of dining on jellyfish salad with a sesame dressing or drunken prawns with aged Huadiao wine. In addition to a sour rice noodle soup with barramundi, the main course will include steamed halibut with aged mandarin peel, cordyceps flowers and preserved black olives.
This elaborate menu definitely calls us to Hongkong, doesn’t it?
