I haven't flown to Asia since the pandemic, but I remember DL used to have snacks and stuff put out for D1 like soup/noodle cups, rice snacks etc.

On tatl they put out a snack area with different things and water bottles, although that is really munchy type snacks and not anything considered a meal.

I do agree that some FAs seem to rush the first service on long daytime flights. Doesn't make sense to have the main service start 30 min after takeoff for a 10+hr non-redeye flight.
