Frustrating of course if this back of clock flight was marketed as offering a full dinner service. Flew SIN-SYD in SQ F Suites a few months back and was quite surprised by how limited the food offering was.
I would agree. It's all in the expectations, and perhaps that's where the marketing fails.

I hate it when airlines try to stuff me with food in the early AM and the have a feeble breakfast, then again I hate red eyes, yet still keep booking them. What's the definition of a fool......

I flew the mid morning departure ex PER this morning and very much enjoyed the food, coming of a multi leg J flight in Business to Asia and the Middle East, it was somewhat ironic that the best flight when it comes to comfort and food would be a domestic leg. Cest la vie.
