Counting the times to its 82nd yr, Philippine Airlines introduces a special Anniversary Menu reflecting its continuing initiatives to raise the general flight experience of passengers.
Available in March for Business Class passengers traveling on PAL’s flights from Manila to North America and Australia, the Anniversary menu features curated meals that deliciously meld local and global culinary inspirations delivered with a distinctly Filipino brand of service.
Passengers can sit up for a gastronomic collection of refreshing flavors and unexpected concoctions just like the Tiger Prawn Sinigang, a merry mixture of cherry tomato, green chili, eggplant, string beans and water spinach; Filet Mignon served with asparagus and potato puree topped with Tanduay rum sauce; and Ilocano Cauliflower Adobo in vegan adobo sauce served with string beans and garlic fried rice.
Each culinary concoction within the Anniversary menu was thoughtfully put together by PAL’s skilled catering team, a creative expression that may be a byproduct of the flag carrier’s expertise in its 82 years as an exemplar of one of the best of Filipino food and hospitality, in addition to the creative stamp of PAL AVP, Chef Vallerie Castillo-Archer.
“As a Filipino-American chef, it’s my pleasure to enable passengers from everywhere in the world to get a taste of exquisite Filipino flavors and renowned hospitality,” said Chef Vallerie, whose recent role oversees each catering operations and menu development, including food safety, quality control, crew training and team management. The menu will reflect her Ilocano roots and groundbreaking stint as the primary female and first Filipino-American executive chef of Yamashiro, an iconic Hollywood restaurant in Los Angeles.
Because the Philippines’ sole full-service airline, PAL masterminds a fancy operation of catering teams and partnerships that produce over 600,000 inflight meals every month for flights to North America, the Middle East and everywhere in the Asia-Pacific region and the Philippines.
The special Anniversary menu is the newest development in a unbroken drive to whip up recent creations to boost PAL’s in-flight menu offerings all yr round. The Philippine Airlines in-flight menu is predicted to take off into an entire recent level with the Filipino legacy of caring customer support shining through.
“We’re committed to offering our passengers recent discoveries in inflight dining on our international flights in the approaching months as we invite increasingly travelers worldwide to fly on our direct flights to and from the Philippines. Drawing from Chef Vallerie’s innate passion and global experience, our expert catering team will ignite positive developments that can bring recent delights to our customers’ overall flight experience.” PAL President and Chief Operating Officer Capt. Stanley K. Ng said.
