In the past SQ would board a regular meal along with your special meal ... this is no longer done, they will not have a regular meal avaiable if you decide you don't like your special meal. Even in F, much less in J.</font>
While this may be SQ policy, it is not necessarily true in practice. I was recently on a flight where in addition to the pre-selected 'Book The Cook' selection, we were offered the menu option
as well. We were given both.
I would not count on this for flights, but it does happen.
