Singapore Airlines is excited to announce our partnership with renowned chef and restaurateur Sid Sahrawat.
Joining our Guest Chef programme, Sid will curate four seasonal menus that spotlight the finest New Zealand ingredients, focusing on showcasing local produce and drawing inspiration from his Indian heritage. The in-flight menus are inspired by the flavours and styles found in his acclaimed restaurants, bringing a taste of Kiwi culinary scene to the inflight dining experience.
