It was the 0830 flight and I was very surprised how they timed the meals. I was expecting a full, solid breakfast service and then a snack at the end, but they did it exactly counter to that. They served a small continental breakfast at the outset and then, with out 3 hours to go in the flight (basically, right around the middle) , started hauling out the main service. Personally, I was annoyed by that, because not only was I sleepy, I was pretty hungry too. So, i grabbed a couple croissants at the outset and then woke myself up for a plate of food when they started serving then when back to sleep. Missed out on the whole EK nice relaxing meal thing (though when i saw that it was 1995 Dom, I did force myself to indulge

That said, the FA was wonderful and quickly plated me very good meal (and gave me my chocolates as well). But still, it seemed odd. Given that for an 0830 flight most people would have left their place at 6AM or so and not necessarily eaten at LHR, as i chose not to . . . )

Did not get upgraded on the 773 flight to BOM, in which 1st looked just amazing. And finally had my first taste of ICE - wow.
