Cathay new business class menu

[Duffa]

Haven't flown Cathay for 2 years or more - always try to fly Singapore if I can, service and food being my main reasons.
Just completed MEL - Hong Kong - Newark in J.
The new menu, which has been promised for Oz very soon, is already operational on the USA leg. And very good it was!
Fancy new, newspaper-style menu, improved service delivery, better food options and snack-on-demand were a big improvement on my last trip.
ABT has covered this recently.
For me, I asked for the beef burger in the middle of the night, some 7 hours after dinner and about 2 hours before the next scheduled meal service. My steward was most enthusiastic, even though the rest of the cabin were catching zzz's and he apologised in advance that he would take 20 mins.
He arrived back in lass than 15 with a burger that would make any inner-city-trendy bistro proud! The beef patty was moist and tasted like it had been char-grilled! DELICIOUS! I'm extremely disappointed with my photo, which does a disservice to the food.
Anyway, with CX now offering a Dublin direct, I may have to think of excuses to take Mrs J on SQ....

I just flew Cathay HKG-MEL last Saturday and it was the best garlic bread I’ve had in the air

Got an unexpected upgrade from PE to J LGW-HKG a couple of weeks ago

This looks like the old service. Not the new one.

OMG, you are totally correct - that is my food from MEL-HKG! Well spotted eagle-eye!
Here are the two dishes served at dinner HKG-EWR - they don't look fantastic, do they??

Significant improvement over the current offering.

I hope the new J menu's also gets extended to CX's regional flights.

The Island Shiraz is very drinkable.

Brunch today. JFK-HKG

I second your comments re the burger on HKG-EWR - very good indeed, better than the other mains in my experience!

This would just be brilliant mid flight.
I've got several trips coming up -lets hope they keep this up!

Wow. That mid-flight snack puts Qantas to shame. Their mid-flight snacks even on ultra long haul flights such as PER-LHR have been extremely disappointing. Small and uninteresting.

I am so glad CX has stepped up its J food offering and presentation. It has been dire for *years*.

Looking good for our CX trip to Dublin in August!

Presentation definitely but taste wise I can’t recall too many poor meals on CX.
