New Business class, Dragon Air A330, KaoHsuing to Hong Kong

Got upgraded again on my flight back from Kao Hsuing and could try the new business class seat of Dragon Air. It actually resembles the previous CX business class but adapted it with some new features.


1. the Business class cabin. 2. I often wondered why most of the conventional business class seat is not wide enough for those who have a wider shoulder. Dragon Air is quite thoughtful to have the side arm-rest pushed down for a wider seat pitch. The seat also has various relax seating positions and with a massage function. Imagine you have an Osim seat on the flight.
3. Dragon Air has a guava/rum cocktail. Quite nice for a pre-flight refreshment. 4. My favourite warm wheat bread.


5. Though the flight time is just one hour, Dragon Air still has full meal service. Not easy for the crew when the flight is full. 6. Dragon Air had this main course Kung Po prawn (宮保蝦球)prepared by Fu Yuen Taiwanese Restaurant. When I checked on the background of this Fu Yuen, I finally got a bit missing Grand Hi Lai. This restaurant is just one of the 13 restaurant outlets of Grand Hi Lai. Yes, Grand Hi Lai has 13 restaurant outlets! Indeed I already told my friends that there should be some reason for 13 restaurants getting together at this Grand Hi Lai. Should have tried some of those 13 restaurants!

Why don't they just serve beef noodle as it is very rush for a full meal like this for one-hour flight.
I think the passengers need to eat fast too.
In the US, for any flight less than 4 hours there is no meal at all. Only peanuts or almonds. Last time we fly to Cancun(Summer 2005) for 8 hours only one meal.
