While I admit I do eat that food, it's more because I'm just hungry (and cheap ). More often then not, I just grab the salad in the AC MLLs. At least I won't regret it later on.

NB: NH ex-HKG usually use contract lounges that aren't Star Alliance. As a result, I've been to the AF and the Plaza Premium lounge, of which I was able to score unlimited Magnum ice cream bars in the latter.
