We also choose the menus that could be cooked on the ground and easily serviced inside the cabins despite the space limitation. These were the key factors in choosing our menus."

The representing menu for Business Class is ‘(Thyme Crusted Halibut with Chive Mash Potato)’, for Travel Class is ‘(Slowly Cooked Chicken, Onion Puree, Crushed Potato, Green Peas, Au Jus).’Around 10 menus will be serviced starting from the 1st of August on Asiana’s European routes, and gradually expand to Asiana’s long hauled routes.
The ‘Thyme Crusted Halibut with Chive Mash Potato’ dish was developed to remove the fishy smell by using Thyme herbs, cooks the cover of the fish to crisp, and to harmonize the taste, mash potato is added. The ‘Slowly Cooked Chicken, Onion Puree, Crushed Potato, Green Peas, Au Jus’ dish slowly cooks the chicken breast in low temperature to maintain the gravy of the meat, and includes the Onion Puree and peas which is low in calorie and good for the health. These menus were provided by Edward Kwon’s essence of experience.
