Cebu Pacific brings Filipino favorites in its new menu of pre-ordered meals

Food is a major part of Filipino culture, reflective of the warmth and diversity of Philippine culture. Food also serves as a reminder of home. Taking cue from these ideas, Cebu Pacific presents a new array of inflight meals that showcase flavors from home—from comfort food to classic Filipino dishes to more contemporary cuisine, the new inflight menu will surely bring CEB travelers an enjoyable experience in the skies.

Starting August 1, 2018, all guests aboard Cebu Pacific flights will be able to enjoy hot and fresh dishes to satisfy their cravings for great-tasting food. Cooked-up in partnership with the world-renowned MIASCOR-Gate Gourmet Philippines, the new menu of Cebu Pacific offers a wide selection of delicious hot plates and savory bites intended to appeal to different tastes, yet guaranteed to make flying with the leading Philippine carrier a delicious experience.

“The new Cebu Pacific inflight menu celebrates Filipino classics and showcases diverse flavors found in the destinations we travel to. By listening to customer feedback, we were able to refine our menu to suit our passengers’ preferences and tastes. Passengers choose to fly with Cebu Pacific for year-round low fares and extensive route and frequencies, and we hope our new food options will help give passengers a more pleasant experience aboard our flights,” said JB Bueno, Director for Inflight Catering and Sales at Cebu Pacific.
