Cathay Pacific Premium Economy Class Menu Thread for the year of 2013

Inspired from CGK's highly organized and successful SQ F/J/Y menu thread, I think we should start one for the CX Forum. I will volunteer to organize the title thread and put all the information in some kinds of formats. Since lots of folks always ask what CX is serving on a particular route, why don't we start something similar to CGK in SQ forum? I know some of you don't care about it, but for those who care about it, hopefully it will be a helpful guide to present and future CX flyers.

If you don't want to type out the menu, feel free to scan it and post a link here, or you can email it to [email protected], and I will type it out.

Thanks,
Carfield

On 3 PE flights I've been on, it always seems to me that the PE main meal is the same as the J class meal and the small meal is the Y class meal, is this not the case and they actually load a seperate meal for PE?

Cameron38

That does seem to be what everyone is reporting. 1st meal J class, 2nd Y class.

ano429

the 'bigger' meal service has JCL entree and smaller one is an EY one.
(Breakfast - EY entree)

JALlover

So it is the same as what BA is offering? JCL entree for first meal and same as EY for second?

ano429

As I said, the bigger/longer/more 'important' meal service will be having JCL entree while the smaller/shorter/less 'important' meal service will be the same as EY. Breakfast service must be having an EY meal.

In other words, if it is a long haul flight departing in the morning, say CX139 to sydney, pax will have an EY main course on an EY meal tray for the first service and a JCL main course on an EY meal tray for the second service. does it make sense to you?

Snacks

I had the beef and congee and they were both very good. However the mid-flight snacks are very limited in supply and are shared with regular economy. Only 100 cup noodles are loaded for each flight or a rough ratio of 1 per 3 passengers. I think CX is ridiculously cheap in this regard given that this is a 15-hours flight and there are 10-hours in between the first and last meals.

Also beware that there is no dedicated lavatory for Premium Economy. PE passengers use the regular economy lavatories.
