Luke Nguyen to create Vietnam Airlines business class menus for Australian trips

Vietnam Airlines has signed on Australian celebrity chef Luke Nguyen to revamp its business class meals on all flights to and from Australia to Vietnam. The three-year contract will see Nguyen, whose family is originally from Vietnam, create eight dishes for the business class menu on the route and advise on the 50 dishes the airline serves on its global routes. Bringing on Nguyen, who is the owner of Vietnamese restaurant Red Lantern in Sydney and TV host of several Vietnamese cuisine shows and documentaries, is a logical fit for the airline that appears to be expanding its brand and presence in Australia. Last year the airline launched non-stop flights from Sydney to Hanoi operating the Dreamliner on the route. <br/>
