PAL, Chef Tina Legarda upgrades in-flight dining

Business class passengers on board Philippine Airlines flights to and from North America can now taste the best of Filipino food starting this November, courtesy of Filipino chef Tina Legarda.

The country's flag carrier is collaborating with Chef Tina Legarda to further elevate its in-flight menu served during nonstop flights from Manila to Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, Honolulu, Vancouver, and Toronto.

Chef Tina is the creative force behind Bamba Bistro, a well-loved restaurant serving gourmet comfort food in BF Homes, Parañaque for almost a decade.

She has always focused her menu on heirloom home-cooked meals that give a sense of nostalgia and reflect both her Filipino and Spanish roots.

Her recipes are heavily inspired by her family's repertoire and extensive professional training in Italian, French and Asian cooking under renowned culinary experts here and abroad.

Now, Chef Tina is helping PAL unveil a new menu that would fulfil its promise to continuously deliver a wonderful experience for passengers.

"With the increasing consumer confidence in international and domestic travel, we continue to look for innovative ways to elevate PAL's in-flight dining experience," PAL president and COO Capt. Stanley Ng said.

Ng added that the partnership with Chef Tina supports PAL's thrust to become a more customer-centric brand that upholds the highest standards of service, safety, and security to travelers.
