On the heels of Singapore’s modern French fine dining eatery Odette taking top spot on the Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants list away from Gaggan in Bangkok after its four-year reign, Air France has announced its partnership with chef-owner Julien Royer. Armed with his two Michelin-starred title, he’s designed a new menu for travelers going to and from Singapore’s Changi Airport and Paris’ Charles de Gaulle Airport.
Available from now till March 2020, the line-up of 12 main dishes (six for La Premiere and six for Business Class) will rotate every two months. And those on flight AF257 from Singapore to Paris on Apr 9 can meet the man himself, in the latest edition of the airline’s “Oh my Chef!” series that invites well-known culinary personalities on board the aircraft to mingle with passengers.
In the La Premiere cabin, which is made up of four private suites, highlights include cod confit with rosemary and paimpol coconut, raw and sautéed chorizo, and “pimento del piquillo,” to be served in April and October this year, as well as duck leg and confit lemons offered this June and next January.
Other items on the menu include grilled scallops with parmesan polenta and roast beef steak with mushroom ketchup and boulangère potatoes.
As for Business class, signatures include grilled scallops with carrot mousseline and saffron nage in April and October, as well as sea bass with confit onion jam, ratatouille, and squid with confit lemons in August this year and next February. Travelers can also look out for dishes such as braised beef cheek in red wine sauce and confit beef ribs with smoked celery — all plated to perfection, if these photos are anything to go by.
