My HNML's last month on QR815 (HKG-DOH) - not a morning flight, but just for reference..

-Dinner post-take-off was a very spicy but flavorful biryani. Exactly what I was hoping for. Gulab for dessert.
-Breakfast was kind of weird and consisted of: chicken breast, spicy okra and some funky white eggwhite-like/gelatinous thing. Not what I was craving at that time of day, but it was very filling and quite substantial.

Both dishes were served with (cold) paratha.

All in all happy with my choice.
