On my Manila to Melbourne flight, I got upgraded on the Manila – HK leg of my trip. Yey! Being a loyal CX frequent flier does come handy as it increases the chances for flight upgrades.
Sigh… the two hour HK trip seemed much shorter as I enjoyed my roomy seat. I enjoyed the dimsum platter for the in-flight breakfast.
On my HK – Melbourne leg… where are the ceramic plates!!! Back to reality and plasticware.
Noodles were better than my Pineapple Chicken dish for dinner.
Summary : Cathay Pacific’s meals are decent enough. Business class meals would of course be good since you’re paying top pesos for your seat. My experience with their economy class meals have been passable. Chinese dishes I have had would be prepared better than continental dishes like a generic chicken or fish dish. I normally would choose noodles and pile on the chili sauce to give flavor to my meal.
Here’s a related post on a Philippine Airlines flight I took. Share your plane food stories.

hey, tama ka, cathay’s meals are pretty decent. PAL usually sucks, but they have direct flights so we have to bear it. hahaha! i like the sandwiches they serve on CX early morning flights. korean air and swiss air are ok too, but my ultimate fave is singapore airlines. sarap!

Hi Caryn : You know what, I can actually still take PALs terrible food. What gets me is the shared tv consoles they still have, since I usually do long haul flights > 8 hours…. di ko kayaaaaaa….super torture just to have 3 tvs in the whole economy cabin!!!
Haven’t done swiss air and korean but I agree with you on singapore airlines. Best airplane food I have had!

yup! and my fave is the singapore sling — the cocktail mix that they serve. two or three of those puts you to sleep rightaway. ahhaha!
