Thanks for the responses. If the First Class passenger goes back to Business Class to eat, would they still get the First Class meal?

in business class the cabin is managed by the senior purser who is the OJ’s senior
in Asian workplace culture, you NEVER want to upset or inconvenience your senior. Even when your senior says OK. So please really try to refrain from creating difficulty for the crew

basically, in first class your meals are taken care of by your first class galley purser, also known as ‘OJ’
in business class the cabin is managed by the senior purser who is the OJ’s senior
in Asian workplace culture, you NEVER want to upset or inconvenience your senior. Even when your senior says OK. So please really try to refrain from creating difficulty for the crew
i shall let the crew involved to get you rejected for things they cannot do

Not if there are no seats available. As he explained in his opening post.

Open ?
Was looking at flying my parents back from Hong Kong to LAX on Cathay. Since only one seat seems to be open for First Class in advance, there's the chance we might have to end up putting one in First, and the other in Business. I've read reviews that show that two First Class passengers can dine together, but I was wondering if anyone has experience with the crew letting a Business Class passenger (with the Business Class meal) eat with their companion who's seated in First. This might not be a deal breaker for them, but would still be helpful to know. Thanks!
Does Cathay only release seats for sale in blocks ?

Don't want to sound nasty, I think before anyone entertains anymore questions going forward we will need to ask:
1) Redemption booking or revenue booking
2) Asia Miles or Other
If it is Other - we will bin these questions.
