I have a feeling it has to do with the flight time vis-a-vis meal service. I see them on TPE/MNL sectors at the lower level of the trolley, normally if i don't take the meal they SP normally offers it. As for longer regional flights like SIN/KUL and Japan, they are normally offered first with the drinks after take off.
That said, OP might just want to ask next time...I doubt the crew will turn it down.
