(WARNING! This report will contain graphic food porn. Viewer's discretion is advised!)
With CX recently offering fares to HKG for a ridiculously low price of SGD260 return (and undercutting all the other budget carriers' fares), me and my partner booked a short trip to HKG for a weekend of food and shopping. This report will be mainly photo-based as I guess most of you would be rather familiar with CX's regional economy service. Also, be warned that this report may also cause withdrawal symptoms on those who are craving the culinary treats of Hong Kong!

Economy Class
Checked in online 48hrs prior and got boarding passes at the airport.
Our flight today was operated by an A340. It has been a rather long time since I have stepped onboard an A340. The aircraft was fitted with the old herringbone J, new Premium Y and old shell-Y. My first time trying the infamous non-reclining Y seats, having tried all the other variants of CX's Y seats.
My seat at 69A.
Welcome aboard. Legroom was actually quite good for my 1.8m frame.
Seat pocket contents.
Headsets already in the seat pockets.
At the gate.
Boarding in progress.
Doors closed and pushed back 5min ahead of STD.
However, it was a long taxi to Rwy02C for takeoff.
