Singapore Airlines has launched a new in-flight menu for Suites, First Class, and Business customers departing from the UK, in partnership with Monica Galetti, a celebrity chef and BBC MasterChef presenter.

The new dishes take inspiration from Galetti’s South Pacific heritage and classical French training, and four seasonal menus will be made available. Suites and First Class passengers will be offered a four-course menu, while Business Class passengers have three courses.

“After months of menu development, I am delighted to unveil my exclusive menu for Singapore Airlines,” said Chef Monica Galetti. “Bringing fine dining to customers at 35,000 ft is my most exciting culinary journey yet. From fresh lobster to fine caviar and warming soups to locally sourced lamb, customers can expect a world-class in-flight dining experience on board Singapore Airlines flights.”

The new dishes include confit lamb on a soft butter bean and pak choi ragout with smoked peppers, caper, and watercress salsa verde, glazed beef short rib in a red and Port sauce with burnt butter mash and seasonal winter vegetables, lobster salad with back garlic and chive mayonnaise, and Galetti’s Signature Hokey Pokey honeycomb and chocolate dessert with ice cream. The menus will be available from October 2024 until November 2025.

“We are excited to have Chef Monica’s new seasonal menus on board our flights from October 2024,” said Mohamed Rafi Mar, Singapore Airlines General Manager UK and Ireland. “Whether you are flying out of London Heathrow, Manchester Airport, or from our latest departure point in London Gatwick, our Suites, First Class, and Business Class customers will be treated to gourmet in-flight dining from one of London’s top chefs. We look forward to welcoming our customers on board to experience Singapore Airlines’ hospitality at its best.”

Singapore Airlines currently creates its menus in partnership with five world-renowned chefs: Georges Blanc, Matt Moran, Sanjeev Kapoor, Yoshihiro Murata, and Zhu Jun. Two of the chefs are Michelin star recipients, and the group forms the International Culinary Panel. The airline equally has a panel of wine consultants, and the cabin selection won awards at the 2023 Business Traveller’s Cellars in the Sky Awards ceremony.
