It's really hard to please everyone. But if anything, I think it's more about improving quality first.
I have been on many flights that is as short (if not shorter) and the airline has no problem dishing out quality food in time.
Another issue is staff. Cathay is the one that cuts staff to a bare minimum, and once Cathay does that they lose any right to whine about lack of time to serve quality meals.
Other airlines that fly this route has no trouble giving quality hot meals. Shame on Cathay for claiming to be a top-of-the-class airline and just throw cheap sandwich to passengers paying a premium to fly this route.
