| Comments: |
The barbequed pork with egg noodles for lunch was excellent.
The pork was tender and well marinated. Well done! Dinner on the other
hand was passable. The mango in the smoked salmon salad was unripe and
too sour, and both mains were non-spectacular. |

Dinner and breakfast - Fairly soon after takeoff, further cocktails
are served and orders are taken for dinner. As always, the first thing
served, from a trolley, is Caviar and Balik Salmon Delight. This consists
of Caviar and Balik Salmon “Tsar Nicolaj” served with warm
new potatoes and crème fraiche. This was followed by a soup of
peas, bacon and mint served with mini garlic baguette. Next a seasonal
salad with orange segment, fennel and radish served with honey mustard
dressing.
There was a choice of four main courses. I chose sauteed Wild Mushrooms
and shrimps with X.O. sauce and steamed rice. Alternatives were: Braised
Lamb Rack with Lamb Jus, roasted Kipfler Potatoes and Vegetables; or poached
Chicken Breast with Tomato and Basil Sauce, boiled New Potatoes with Parsley,
Sauteed Green Peas and Grilled Capsicums; or Sweet Potato and Leek Ravioli
with Tomato Concasse.
After main course, a cheese board was offered together with a choice of
three desserts. I chose the Crème Brule. Alternatives were: Caramel
Ice Cream; or Valrhona Chocolate Tart.
About two hours before landing in Melbourne, breakfast was served. This
consisted of fresh orange juice with fresh fruit consisting of circles
of orange, blood orange, grapefruit wedge, strawberry and blueberries.
For main course, I chose Dim Sum selection. Alternatively, eggs or Quiche
Lorraine was offered together with usual accompaniments of grilled breakfast
steak, pan-fried veal sausages, roast Kipfler potatoes with parsley, vine
tomato and sauteed fresh mushrooms. I also had a cappuccino and croissants. |
| Drink: |
Champagne: Cuvee William Deutz 1996. White Wine: Puligny Montrachet
Les Grandes Marches 2002; or Frankland River Chardonnay 2002. Red Wine:
Chateau Branaire-Ducru 1998; or St Andrews Shiraz 1999; or Tignanello
2000. |
| Comments: |
Flying Cathay is pure luxury even before leaving the ground,
especially in Hong Kong where they have the finest 1st class lounges in
the world. Enroute from LHR, I took the opportunity between flights to
freshen up in one of the shower suites. These are large spotless bathrooms
lined in black marble. They feature most of the accessories that you need,
although I had to ask for shaving foam which I thought they would have
readily available, but no, I was given shaving cream instead.
Having already had more than sufficient food on the flight from London,
I was not tempted by the delicious food and drinks available in the lounge,
even so early in the day. I am glad I did this because another feast was
waiting for me on the HKG-MEL sector.
Cathay is celebrating 60 years of air travel this year. Their service
experience really shows in 1st class travel which continues to be of the
highest standard. They remain the best airline in the world for obvious
reasons. |

Dinner and breakfast - No sooner are you sitting down when an impeccably
attired Flight Attendant welcomes you with pre-takeoff champagne and lobster
medallions to set the mood.
Fairly soon after takeoff, further cocktails are served and orders are
taken for dinner. As always, the first thing served, from a trolley, is
Caviar and Balik Salmon Delight. This consists of Caviar and Balik Salmon
“Tsar Nicolaj” served with warm new potatoes and crème
fraiche. This is followed by sweet corn chowder soup. Next a mixed salad
with roasted beetroot, peppers and tomato with raspberry dressing.
There is a choice of four main courses. I chose steamed Halibut with Soya
Ginger and Spring Onion Sauce, steamed rice and stir-fried Pak Choy. Alternatives
were: Braised Lamb Horopito with Wilted Spinach and Puglia Pasta; or Chicken
Tangine with Apricot and Pistachio Cous Cous; or Mushroom filled Capelleti
with Olive, Tomato Tapenade and Cream Sauce.
After main course, a cheese board is offered together with a choice of
three desserts. I chose the Vanilla Ice cream with Raspberries and Strawberries.
Alternatives were: Rhubarb Tart with Fruit Coulis; or Sticky Walnut and
Date Pudding with Custard Sauce.
Finally, I chose tea and chocolate truffles before retiring.
About two hours before landing in Hong Kong, refreshments and/or breakfasts
are served. These consisted of the usual array of choices, although eggs
were noticeably absent due to concerns about Avian Flu apparently. I chose
fresh orange juice with fresh fruit consisting of wedges of pineapple,
orange, mango, grapefruit, melon and apple. For main course, I chose Wontons
and Pak Choy in Noodle Soup more a snack than breakfast fare, but
I was hungry. Finally, I reverted to form with croissants and cappuccino. |
| Drink: |
Champagne: Krug Grande Cuvee. White Wine: Puligny Montrachet Les
Grandes Marches 2002; or Frankland River chardonnay 2002. |
| Comments: |
The menu is as delicious as it sounds and the whole dinner affair
is served at just the right pace by friendly Flight Attendants who, although
relaxed, remain service focussed at all times. In such a caring and relaxed
atmosphere it is easy to drift off to several hours of blissful sleep
in fully reclining seats that are the most comfortable 1st class beds
I have ever experienced. Alternatively, the comprehensive VOD IFE system
would keep insomniacs amongst us engrossed for hours. I noticed that unfortunately
with the CX IFE it is not possible to plug in your own headphones, not
in 1st class at least. That is a pity since I am never without my Bose
noise cancelling headphones which are without equal, although CX’s
do a pretty good job also.
Flying Cathay is pure luxury from the moment after check-in, when, even
in the comparatively humble surroundings of their Terminal 3 Heathrow
1st class lounge, you are treated as special guests with a range of tasty
treats such as dim sum, fresh fruits, or finger sandwiches together with
French champagne or other alcohol on tap. Boarding is announced so that
you have just enough time to calmly walk to an uncrowded gate and board
after everyone else is already seated. |
