Mr. Chan Wing On, Chairman of Tai Hing Catering Group is excited about the recent collaboration.
He explained, “This partnership is a great experience for Tai Hing and we have encountered some new challenges in designing a menu that is suitable for a commercial airliner.
Therefore, we have formed a professional team to re-interpret our award winning dishes and to bring traditional Chinese barbeque delights to business class passengers. We hope to excite the taste buds of travelers and allow them to enjoy the best of traditional Hong Kong cuisine.”
Mr. Sun Jianfeng adds, “Hong Kong Airlines has always put the passenger first, and providing top-quality meals is a significant part of the overall in-flight experience.

Mr. Chan Wing On explained, “Tai Hing already entered the market outside of Hong Kong a decade ago, with branches in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Hangzhou, Singapore, and even in some international airports.
In 2015 we will open even more branches in popular areas around Hong Kong, to allow locals and visitors to enjoy Tai Hing’s gourmet more easily.”
