China Airlines Partners Three-Star Michelin Restaurant for New In-Flight Menu in Every Class

Dark/Light Mode (19/04/23)  China Airlines has partnered with Le Palais, the only three-star Michelin restaurant in Taiwan, to launch a new menu on all long-haul flights to Europe and North America departing from Taiwan, starting from 21 April 2023.

The “Skyward 3 Stars Private Cuisine” in-flight menu, designed by Le Palais for China Airlines, will offer all travelers in Premium Business, Premium Economy and even Economy Class, the opportunity to enjoy a Michelin-starred tasting in the clouds.

When searching for the right Michelin-starred restaurant to partner with, China Airlines wanted one that actively sources local ingredients and embraces corporate social responsibility.

The Le Palais restaurant is AMOT certified on food traceability and a long term advocate for ESG development. The two partners aim to communicate their commitment to sustainability to every traveler through the in-flight cuisine.

Kao Shing-Hwang, China Airlines President, said, "Maximizing customer satisfaction has always been the goal of China Airlines. To partner with the Le Palais restaurant of Palais de Chine Hotel and become the first airline to serve three-starred Michelin meals in all cabin classes is a tremendous honor."

The Le Palais restaurant of the Palais de Chine Hotel is a favorite haunt of political and business elites in Taiwan, and the only restaurant there to have received three Michelin stars for five consecutive years. The menu is inspired by the signature dishes of Ken Chen, Taiwan’s first Michelin-starred chef.

Premium Business Class will begin with four Le Palais entrees in the form of Radish in Vinegar, Saliva Chicken, Lotus Root in Brine, and Sugar Taro.

The first main will be “Rice Noodles with Shredded Duck and Taro”, a classic chef’s special at Le Palais that features local Taiwanese Dajia taro and duck bone broth carefully simmered for several hours to bring out its delicate flavors, and served with springy Taiwanese vermicelli. The result is a dish that you will start missing even before disembarkation.

Travelers can then follow that up with the always popular Le Palais Baked Barbecue Pork Bun and enjoy the Cantonese dessert of Dried Bean Curd and Semen Coicis Sweet Soup.

“Lo Mein with Wonton and Shrimp Roe”, another popular main from the Le Palais secret menu, will be introduced as the season changes.

Premium Economy and Economy Class will join Premium Business Class in enjoying “Cantonese-style” three-starred cuisine.

The main for Premium Economy Class is Steamed Chicken and Rice in Lotus Leaf, while Economy Class travelers can enjoy Clay Pot Chicken Rice with Scallion and Ginger.

Whether traveling to Los Angeles or Rome, all travelers on flights to Europe and North America, regardless of cabin class, will be able to feast on Michelin-starred cuisine during their flight.

Premium Business and Premium Economy Class travelers can also pre-book exclusive meal selections through the China Airlines website before departure.
