With enough garbage ingredients and filler to literally fill up the entire side of said carboard box in size 6 font - to people paying through the nose for a premium airline.

Sorry I know it's OT so mods please feel free to move, but being based in TPE I'm curious myself and called the TPECX airport desk (always lovely, only if you can reach someone) and asked for a list of TPE-HKG flights that have full meal in Y and W.

The list is:
CX469 (1000-1205)
CX475 (1115-1320)
CX421 (1210-1420)
CX495 (1320-1525)
and
CX405 (1745-1950)
CX473 (1840-2045)
CX401 (1930-2130)
CX451 (1935-2140)
CX531 (2015-2215)

The agent said that KA flights are not introducing full meals on TPE-HKG yet and she doesn't have accurate information for HKG-TPE.
