Fliers of Cebu Pacific are in for a treat as the airline company just unveiled a new set of tasty inflight menu.
Charo L. Lagamon, Cebu Pacific’s director for corporate communications, during a recent press event, revealed “It’s going to be part of your journey, your experience in Cebu Pacific. In September, your journey will start on board with these new flavors and treats.”
The menu is composed of 12 new dishes ranging from light meals to satisfying rice dishes as prepared by MIASCOR-Gate Gourmet Philippines.
Jem Calungcaguin, Cebu Pacific’s manager for inflight sales and merchandise told InterAksyon, “We’ve been continuously developing the menu for our pre-ordered meals. With the previous ones, we have received feedback from our passengers and also from our cabin crew, and we’ve taken consideration of all those insights.
“Those insights inspired us to think maybe it’s time for us also to freshen the range because our travellers—especially the frequent ones–might have tried everything already.”
Known for offering mostly Filipino staples, Cebu Pacific expanded their menu’s flavor profiles and incorporated Asian flavors and Western ones.
“This one so far is the widest array of meals that we have for our pre-ordered meals. We are very excited to launch it because this time, we’re going to cater to more people and more taste palates,” Calungcaguin pointed out.
Cebu Pacific vice president for corporate affairs Atty. Paterno Mantaring, Jr. (third from left) and executive sous Chef Mark Javier Ledesma led the unveiling of Cebu Pacific’s new inflight menu.
The new dishes, which are all Halal-certified and adhere to the Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP), are composed of four sandwiches, one pasta, one noodle dish, and then the rest are rice meals as developed by Chef Mark Ledesma, executive sous chef of MIASCOR Gate Gourmet Manila.
“It’s inspiration comes actually from different destinations and flavor palates that we were trying to target,” Chef Ledesma shared during a cooking demo.
Ledesma assured that these dishes are prepared a few hours before the scheduled flight to ensure freshness and quality.
Cebu Pacific fliers can pre-order these dishes on all flights departing 24 hours or more from the time of booking.
For domestic flights, the selection is limited to light snacks like sandwiches, whereas all the 12 dishes are available for international or long haul flights.
Meanwhile, Cebu Pacific’s new inflight menu is divided into categories namely the Filipino series, Asian series, and Western series.
