I am making the switch from UAL for my Asia trips to AA/Cathay Pacific. I have my first trip from LAX to HKG and using it to built AA miles/status and was wondering if anyone knows what special meals are offered by Cathay and are they better than the standard meals.

Unfortunately I'll be flying economy on this trip and I always found on UAL when I flew economy that I was better off ordering the fruit plates rather than having the standard meals.

If anyone has information and opinions on what choice makes the best sense I would appreciate it.

Thanks!
