Cathay Economy vs BA Economy

Hello all,

I hope you can help me. I am about to book my first Cathay flight.
I never flew anything else apart from BA (tried all classes including Business and First).
This time I want to stick with a friend who flies in Economy and price conscious.

What I like about BA economy:
*I always upgrade my meal for £15. Meal delivered in proper plates and cutlery, real glass. Delicious food.
-Any similar option on Cathay? I am a fussy eater, do they have western options?

*They are generous with drinks. I always get 2 GnTs without asking and wine with a meal. I have never been refused extra drink if I went to the galley. I also know my limits and never get drunk.
-How would this compare to Cathay?

*There is usually very reasonable airport upgrade options.
-Does Cathay offers good cash upgrade options?

Bonus question: would you recommend Cathay A350 vs BA 787 in economy?

Many thanks for helping me with this!
