The unique flavours of ingredients such as Senise pepper and n\u2019duja salami are reflected in the pasta dish Garganelli with n&#8217;duja salami, bread sfritto and Senise pepper. For beef seared carpaccio with Parmesan crisp, the traditional Italian antipasto has been given a modern twist with tender slices of beef carpaccio combined with Parmesan crisp for an intense array of flavours. <\/p>\n<p>In addition Cathay Pacific\u2019s regional airline Dragonair has announced the introduction of a new inflight menu featuring authentic European dishes inspired by Hugo\u2019s, the fine-dining restaurant at the Hyatt Regency Hong Kong, Tsim Sha Tsui. The new menu will be offered to First Class and Business Class passengers flying on selected Dragonair flights from Hong Kong to Beijing and Shanghai until mid-April 2015. The menu features 23 dishes including soups, appetisers and main courses created and adapted by the hotel\u2019s executive chef Michael Donlevy. <\/p>\n<p>Signature dishes include lobster bisque simmered delicately to extract the rich flavours from the shellfish. Topped with a dash of fresh cream, the dish is one of the most popular offerings at Hugo\u2019s. The menu also includes some dishes designed exclusively for Dragonair, including fresh crab salad \u00e0 la Russe appetiser and pan-fried Norwegian salmon fillet, crayfish tails with caper parsley sauce. <\/p>\n<p><b>Fresh new drink thanks to HK mixologists <\/b><\/p>\n<table cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7414\/13884833719_208d20d0c8_n.jpg\" style=\"clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7414\/13884833719_208d20d0c8_n.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">What will they call this new fruity cocktail?<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>When travelling in First or Business Class on Cathay Pacific, passengers are offered not only a glass of champagne, water or juice but one of the airline\u2019s unique sig-nature drinks, and a delicious new one is set to join the line up in the next few months.
