Cathay Pacific partners with Michelin-starred restaurant Yat Tung Heen
The collaboration builds upon the airline’s partnerships with esteemed Hong Kong restaurants that share its commitment to providing customers with dining experiences of the finest quality.
Led by celebrated Chef Tam Tung, Yat Tung Heen has been a beloved Hong Kong dining institution since 1990.
The restaurant specialises in traditional yet refined Cantonese fare that highlights the natural flavours of ingredients.
The exclusively crafted inflight menu brings together a selection of exquisite local dishes for customers travelling in Premium Economy and Economy classes on selected flights departing from Hong Kong starting January 2025, debuting with all long-haul and selected regional destinations, such as the Chinese Mainland, Japan and Thailand.
This new dining partnership is part of Cathay Pacific’s broader effort to continually enhance the overall inflight experience in its Premium Economy and Economy cabins, which comes with other exciting upgrades that will be introduced progressively.
Cathay General Manager Customer Experience and Design Vivian Lo said: “Teaming up with Yat Tung Heen, a culinary powerhouse in its own right, allows us to transform our inflight dining experience into something even more memorable for our customers.
“We are thrilled to bring this elevated experience to our customers in Premium Economy and Economy, especially since it is our first time partnering with a Michelin-starred restaurant for our menus in these cabins.
“Our hope is to enrich every traveller’s journey by giving them a taste of our home city’s unique and iconic flavours, brought to life by the culinary craftsmanship of Cathay Pacific and Yat Tung Heen.”
Yat Tung Heen Head Chef Tam Tung said: “In my years as Head Chef of Yat Tung Heen, we have always strived to deliver a Michelin-worthy dining experience to our guests with the best possible ingredients.
“To see this legacy extend to the skies with an iconic airline such as Cathay Pacific is very exciting. I look forward to more travellers being able to experience the signature flavours of Yat Tung Heen.”
