ex-TPE CX / KA does differentiate based on departure time, but it seems irrelevant to whether it is meal time or not.

I was on a CX flight at around 6pm, and if my memory serves me right, I received something that resembles a hot (warm) pastry. But then, with so much great food in HKG and TPE, why would you bother eat onboard?

Flew Y last week - was some horrid pastry, hard as a rock, hit it on the tray table several times and it did not damage the shape of the pastry....
Ordered a Gluten Free meal on the return flight, will report on that. That way I cannot get a dodgy pastry! But given the awesome food in TPE, it might be a good thing CX food is crap on this sector

The bread from TPE is normally better than then one from HKG
However, if I were you I will eat before departure at air side cafe or lounge and get fruit platter instead

Seeems in Y on CX is not much and not good food (KA is better, even on the short KHH-HKG flights they manage a hot meal.). I would as others said eat at the airport (s) , HKG has many good choices. TPE termial one (the one CX is in) has fewer choices, but is better now since the makeover is done (try the food court in Term 1, bottom/basement levels land (public) side. The food court is interesting because the number of airport staff eating there now vs. before it was there,when there was street food from cars/food trucks (ie night/street market) mainly because staff did not like food (before) at the airport.

Just eat on ground. It's sandwich service flight which I always order food platter and stuff myself at lounge instead.
