What is the minimum lead time for catering at TWU?

We ask for as much notice as possible, but we handle short-notice requests routinely. Kosher catering is the one exception — certified preparation requires a minimum of 24 hours' confirmed notice.

Can you cater a multi-leg trip that includes Sandakan or Kota Kinabalu?

Yes. We coordinate uplifts across connected Sabah airports — including Sandakan, Kota Kinabalu and Lahad Datu — under one order and one point of contact, so nothing falls between legs.

Which handler should I specify for delivery?

We deliver to whichever handler holds your aircraft on the day. Simply confirm the handler name and stand details when you place your order and we will coordinate directly with them.

Do you offer local Sabahan dishes, or is the menu purely international?

Both. We build menus around local produce and regional recipes — reef fish, Sabahan sambals, cocoa-based desserts — as well as full Western and pan-Asian options. The brief is entirely yours.

How are dietary requirements handled?

Halal, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, low-sodium and other dietary needs are accommodated as standard. Please note them clearly when ordering and we will confirm all substitutions before dispatch.

Can you supply crew meals separately from passenger catering?

Yes. Crew meals are quoted and packaged separately, clearly labelled, and delivered in the same galley-ready consignment as the passenger order.

Tawau private jet catering menu

A short, working selection — not the full carte. This is what the kitchen boards most often for a Tawau departure: classics that travel, plated for cabin altitude, sourced the same morning.

The Altitude Dining kitchenMalaysia

To start

Celebes Reef Fish Crudo

Thinly sliced local white fish dressed with lime, fresh chilli, toasted coconut and micro-herbs from the Tawau interior — a clean, bright opening that speaks directly to the coast below.

Cold main

Chilled Poached Prawns with Sambal Belacan Aioli

Sabahan-sourced prawns, poached and served cold with a restrained aioli built on fermented shrimp paste and kaffir lime. Travels well and holds its character in a chilled galley.

Hot main

Slow-Braised Beef Rendang with Pandan Rice

A long-cooked rendang using local aromatics — galangal, lemongrass, fresh turmeric — finished with coconut milk and served alongside fragrant pandan-steamed rice. Rich, deeply spiced and entirely at home in this region.

Morning

Sabah Morning Congee

Silky rice congee with ginger-poached chicken, century egg, crispy shallots and a drizzle of sesame oil — a grounding early departure option that reflects the Chinese-Malay kitchen traditions of eastern Sabah.

Pâtisserie

Tawau Cocoa Financier

A small, dense almond cake built around single-origin cocoa sourced from the farms surrounding Tawau — one of Malaysia's notable growing regions. Served with a dark-chocolate ganache.

To finish

Chilled Mango and Sago with Coconut Cream

A classic Southeast Asian dessert made with ripe Sabahan mango, small sago pearls and fresh coconut cream — light, fragrant and composed to finish a meal without excess.

Inflight Catering · Tawau

Private jet catering in Tawau

Tawau is one of Malaysia's quieter international gateways, yet its surroundings are anything but ordinary. The region is a significant producer of cocoa, palm oil and seafood, and that agricultural richness feeds directly into what we put on board: ingredients with genuine provenance, sourced as close to the aircraft as logistics allow. The town's position on the Celepes Sea coast makes fresh reef fish and sustainably harvested shellfish a natural centrepiece of any Tawau uplift. We work with local suppliers to bring those flavours aboard, so a departure from TWU carries an honest taste of eastern Sabah rather than a generic interpretation of it.

Regional Catering Menu · Tawau

Fresh catering for Tawau flights

Sabahan cuisine draws on Malay, Bajau, Kadazan-Dusun and Chinese influences, producing a table that is layered and deeply regional. Expect fragrant rice dishes cooked with pandan, slow-braised meats seasoned with galangal and lemongrass, and sambals built from fresh chillies that grow abundantly in the interior — preparations that travel exceptionally well in a properly chilled galley. Beyond the local repertoire, our culinary team composes full Western and pan-Asian menus to any brief. Dietary requirements — halal, vegetarian, low-sodium and others — are handled as standard. Kosher orders are fulfilled with certified suppliers and require a 24-hour lead time; please confirm at the time of booking.
