My last two CX red eyes (CX 101 HKG-SYD 2135 departure) and (CX 138 SYD-HKG 22:20 departure) certainly had a full dinner service after take off; with an option to skip to main/dessert or skip dinner altogether if I wanted to sleep right away.
Both flights also had a fairly regular breakfast service before arrival, which, in case of CX138 (and its often earlier than scheduled arrival into HKG) involves eating a full breakfast at 0300 local!
