The new menu, designed by Chef Tam, will be served exclusively in Finnair’s business class on all long-haul flights from Greater China to Helsinki as of 5 December.
DeAille Tam is an award winning chef and was the first female chef to receive a Michelin star in China.
“We are excited to collaborate with Chef Tam as she treats every flavor and every dish like a culinary adventure,” says Maarit Keränen, Head of Inflight Food & Beverage Concepts at Finnair. “Our Signature Chef program honors the cuisines of our key markets, and we are proud to have Chef Tam’s menu as a part of our Finnair experience.”
“One of my passions is to bring Chinese cuisine to a broader audience,” says Chef DeAille Tam. “My mission is to give people an experience when they eat, a memory to keep. I think the aircraft is a perfect place for this.”
The airline currently operates to seven major airports in Greater China including: Beijing Capital, Beijing Daxing, Shanghai, Nanjing, Guangzhou, Xián and Hong Kong.
