i am pretty sure CX does not use powder eggs when compared to the pale yellow eggs served on BA.
Given CX obviously miscalculated the required effort to process the new diner style in the current manual administration form, so some things had to go, to avoid meals stretching out to long. And I can imagine, LH product management at CX told their food department: "We gave you this budget with this staff: Work with it, solve your own problems"......
Having back a nice starter would be nice, though. The soup is also highly appreciated. And for me, skip the heavy main meal and serve something nice and small.
I also do not think, the CX eggs are power based. If it would be, then the result would be the watery, snotty, lumpy stuff you get sometimes at other airlines. The CX eggs do seem to be made from "liquid" egg containers, "baked" in an automated oven, in the home CX kitchen and just heated up in the air.
