Michelin-starred Chinese goes airborne

Chef Lai's Michelin-starred Neighborhood restaurant is expanding to airlines, bringing elevated Chinese gastronomy to in-flight dining.

Chef Lai's restaurant, known for its innovative takes on Cantonese cuisine, secured its Michelin star in 2022, marking a turning point for the neighborhood eatery. This recognition likely paved the way for collaborations beyond the restaurant's walls. The airline partnership focuses on crafting in-flight menus that mirror the restaurant's sophisticated dishes. Passengers can anticipate tasting elevated versions of classic Chinese flavors at 30,000 feet. This move reflects a broader trend of airlines partnering with celebrity chefs to enhance the dining experience. Such collaborations aim to differentiate airlines and cater to discerning travelers.
