CX Meals in J: Standard Meal vs. Special Meal

First time flying CX, in business from IAD to HKG. I don't eat meat or cheese, although I will eat fish. Unsure whether to order:

Standard meal. Is there a chance it will be meat- or cheese-centric?
Special meal. E.g., vegetarian, or low fat / low cholesterol. However, on some airlines these are rather depressing affairs..

Any views?

By the way, I had actually booked UA (to get 1K status), but then came to my senses...
