Food, being the centerpiece of every celebration, plays a vital role in Asian culture. As Cebu Pacific aims to make each flight experience a celebration in itself, CEB has come up with a new selection of inflight meals guaranteed to make every traveller’s experience onboard even more gastronomic!
Starting 1 April 2019, all guests aboard Cebu Pacific flights will be able to savour new dishes designed to tickle the taste buds. Prepared by the airline’s new culinary partner, Macroasia SATS Food Industries, the new inflight menu presents a wide array of scrumptious snacks and meals that will surely satisfy passengers’ cravings – be it for Chinese, Japanese or Korean cuisine. The new menu also includes options for vegetarian passengers.
“As our earlier menu celebrated Filipino classics, we thought it’s time to highlight cuisines from other countries we travel to. We heard what our customers wanted—thus this revamped menu caters to our passengers’ preferences and tastes,” said JB Bueno, Director for Inflight Catering and Sales at Cebu Pacific.
“Passengers in and out of the Philippines fly with Cebu Pacific for our year-round low fares and extensive route network, but we hope that with these new dishes, we will be able to give our passengers a more memorable experience,” added Bueno.
Among the new line-up is the Beef Bulgogi – a famous Korean dish that is well-loved for its sweet and savoury mixture of soy sauce and sesame oil.
Chicken options have two new twists – one with sweet chilli sauce, and another with Japanese sauce and egg — perfect for those craving for a quick Japanese fix.
Those looking for a familiar Chinese dish may enjoy the classic fried rice with dumplings, served with a side of vegetables.
The Fish Steak is an ideal option for pescatarians as the boneless milkfish is covered in a tangy sauce seasoned with calamansi and onions, served with yellow rice.
Vegetarians, on the other hand, can now enjoy Cebu Pacific’s own version of Tofu and Rice Briyani.
For lighter options, the Kung Pao Chicken Noodles is another Chinese classic, spiced just right on a bed of egg noodles; while the Korean-Style Stir-Fried Noodles features rice noodles and fresh vegetables tossed in a Korean-style sweet sauce.
For quick bites, there’s the Japanese Chicken Mayo Sandwich — a triple-decker sandwich with distinctly-flavoured coleslaw on black bread; and the Seafood Quiche — a perfectly-baked egg tart with bits of crabmeat and egg, and a crispy outer crust.
CEB also showcases two turnovers—one with cheesy chicken sausage; and another that pays homage to the roots of Cebu Pacific — a turnover filled with Cebu-style lechon, cooked with the finest local herbs and spices.
The new on-board meals are available for pre-order upon booking a flight, or by managing a booked flight on the Cebu Pacific website. This guarantees that the food is prepared fresh, ensuring a safe and satisfying dining experience.
“Our meals being on pre-order also guarantees less food wastage in line with our continuous efforts to keep our operations as sustainable as possible,” added Bueno.

Moreover, the on-board meals come with nutritional and product information, as reference for an increasing number of health-conscious passengers on CEB.
