First Class passengers on Dragonair flights can now savour an authentic seasonal menu featuring ‘Steamed Rice in Hot Pot Casserole’. The seasonal menu was first introduced inflight in 2008 and has been so well received by passengers, the menu is being run again with a number of new tasty dishes on the menu.
Premium travellers on flights between Hong Kong and Beijing/Shanghai are now able to enjoy a range of hot pot dishes until 15 March next year. Steamed Rice in Hot Pot Casserole is a popular local Hong Kong dish for winter, incorporating a wide range of seasonal ingredients.
Dragonair Inflight Services General Manager Cecilia Leung said: “It’s a big challenge to serve Hot Pot Steamed Rice onboard due to the constraints of inflight environment and equipment.
“But our goal is to bring the best local tasty dishes to passengers and the Dragonair catering team and catering service provider put a great deal of effort into selecting the finest ingredients, ensuring they had the right rice-to-water ratio and designing the best way to heat up and serve the dishes inflight.
“This complicated dish also requires several steps to be executed by the cabin crew inflight before presentation and, without their help and expertise, it would not possible to offer these wonderful seasonal tastes to our passengers,” Cecilia adds.
