SYD-BKK Q-Eat offers only one meal (lunch)
I thought I'd look at the Q-eat options for my upcoming SYD-BKK flight in J.
The system only states there is a single meal service 'lunch', with a selection from a menu of 1x small plate (5 choices) and 1x large plate (6 choices). I presume there is a dessert, but this is not mentioned.
I am also surprised that for a J class 9 hour flight, that there is no second meal.
Is this another QANTAS 'enhancement'?! Is there a second meal service?
The menu is attached below for the curious,
cheers TK

I was only able to order 1 small plate, and 1 large plate. Note that some of the large plates are 'light/fast dine options - eg the Arancini and the schnitzel toasted sandwich.
I presume dessert is standard - it wasn't offered as a choice.
I have decided to take 'pot luck'.

The menu offered in flight was the same as offered online.
I had the prawn small plate and lamb rack large plate. Both were very good. Can't recall what dessert was as I don't usually have this, but I did succumb to the mango ice cream (Weis brand I think).
There was no second meal service per se, rather staff wheeled around a trolley of left overs - which mainly seemed to be of small plate choices. I tried the terrine but it wasn't to my taste too much. Snitzel or pizza would have been more tasty!
Overall a good level of service.

It was always like this. Daytime AU-Asia flights always had a single meal served. Some F/A's (apparently embarrassed with this policy) would go through the cabin and encourage passengers to pick items from the snack menus. Of course TG serves two meals... Even BA used to serve two meals (still does to SIN)...

From row 1 thence rearwards, including dodging the centre storage thing in front of row 4. This required a reversing manoeuvre after doing 03 A/B to go back towards the nose past row 2 and then rearwards again to serve 03 J/K.
Row 04 F/J/K were served, with a bigger reverse manoeuvre to finally complete on Row 04 A/B/E.
