China Eastern seat assignments and special meal requests

Can we request special meals and seat assignments on China Eastern flights via their website?

Also, is there a list of what special meals are available?

I will be flying them on SHA-TSA.

I never flew that route, but it is probably a 1-hour (or shorter) flight. I doubt if they can actually serve a real meal.

I fly that a lot and they do actually get a meal in, but no choices. It's actually not bad, usually glutenous rice with some pork.

I don't know if it's worth it to go through the effort to order a special meal -- as someone said above it's a 1:20 or 1:30 flight.

Update:

I called the Los Angeles office to request seat assignment and special meal. The agent added the details very quickly and even added my DL FF number. Was very painless and sure enough, I received the same seat at the airport and my meal was on board. Meal was pretty substantial for a 90 minute flight. My Sky Priority info was properly pulled as well.

The business class lounge at Hongqiao T1 left a lot to be desired though.
