The Louise dish exceeded my expectation. Finally a tenderloin dish on CX flight that is not overcooked. Western breakfast was mediocre at best, especially when you consider you paid tens of thousands of dollars on the flight but the breakfast was identical to that of short haul economy. Finding inspiration from First Class lounges, I don't think Egg Benedict is feasible, but maybe CX could give Belgium waffle a try? It tastes really good at both the Wing and the Pier.
