FIRST AND BUSINESS CLASS MENUS GIVEN SUPER STAR TREATMENT AGAIN

Fine Cantonese seafood cuisine is back on the menu at Dragonair, with signature dishes from Hong Kong’s renowned Super Star Seafood Restaurant set to be available on selected routes in the autumn.

First and Business Class passengers flying with Dragonair from Hong Kong to Beijing and Shanghai between September 1 and October 31 will be invited to select from such mouth-watering dishes as Pancake Parcel Filled with Mandarin Fish and Egg White, Sautee Kagoshima Steak With Mushrooms and Steamed Fungus Bamboo Stuffed with Shrimp Paste.

“When we first introduced dishes from Super Star Seafood Restaurant earlier this year the response from our passengers was extremely positive, so we’ve decided to do it again,” said Ronnie Choi, Dragonair’s General Manager, Customer Services.

Over the two-month period a selection of 23 various dishes will be available.

“We’re delighted to be co-operating with Dragonair in this way again,” said Chow Kuen Chung, Executive Chef of Super Star Seafood Restaurant. “Obviously when preparing food for inflight there are logistical issues that have to be taken into account. But the response from the passengers has shown that the hard work by our staff and those at Dragonair is worth the effort.”

Super Star Seafood Restaurant has six restaurants in Hong Kong and one in Tokyo. It has won numerous awards for its culinary skills.

Dragonair is a Hong Kong-based airline, operating a fleet of seven A330-300s, three A321s and seven A320s, in addition to a Boeing 747-200 freighter. It is currently in the midst of a programme to more than double its fleet by the end of 2005. The airline's passenger network covers 27 destinations across the Asia-Pacific region, while its cargo network connects the markets of Europe, the Middle East, Japan and China.
