Manila, Philippines - Travelers who appreciate Hawaiian Airlines’ dedication to sharing Hawaii’s unique culture and tradition of hospitality will enjoy the airline’s new onboard menu and homegrown snacks showcasing the diversity of foods and flavors in the islands. The new offerings are available on all of its domestic and international flights.
“Allowing our guests to savor the delicious flavors of our local cuisine helps them begin their Hawaii experience hours before they actually arrive,” said Blaine Miyasato, Hawaiian Airlines vice president for product development. “It’s an important part of the Hawaiian hospitality that sets us apart from any other carrier to our islands and another example of how Hawaii flies with us.”
Hawaiian Airline’s variety of inflight meals reflect the Hawaii-inspired flair that executive chef Chai Chaowasaree has brought to the new menus using ingredients found in the islands.
For example, among the meals being enjoyed by Economy Class customers on domestic routes are a Hawaiian breakfast Wrap of fried rice, Portuguese sausage, and edamame, and a chicken yellow curry with rice and pineapple. Vegetarians can enjoy the yellow curry Penne Pasta with vegetables.
On international routes, one of the meals being enjoyed by travelers is a Hawaiian Moco, Chai’s take on the local favorite breakfast dish made with grilled hamburger patty, steamed rice, brown gravy, and fried eggs.
Hawaiian Airlines remains the only airline serving Hawaii to offer complementary hot meals to all Economy Class customers.
These selections are in addition to the premium meals available for purchase in Economy Class, which include fresh sushi platters and large specialty salads.
Hawaiian’s First Class menu also offers a variety of meal options that showcase the cultural diversity of Hawaii’s cuisine, such as Kalua pork and cheese omelet, shrimp & crab salad with crispy won ton taco, and grilled prawns with fusilli pasta & mac nut pesto.
