How far out can you book your meals? I have HKT-SIN. 3+ hour layover and then SIN-IAH in J.
The second leg (SQ 52) does not leave SIN until 2am and that is after a 3+ hour layover. Not sure what food will be available in Changi during my layover that late so i am wondering what they will serve, if anything, right after takeoff that late? Is it a snack or full meal, and are there things one can get in between if one is hungry? I am a pretty big/frequent eater and if i can not sleep I will want to eat! Will I go hungry? Its a long flight. Sorry this our first experience with SQ and also the longest flight by far we have ever done.

I've done SIN-JNB (departs 0210) and there was the option of a meal shortly after take off. It was just a single course, as far as I recall, but a very substantial one (I couldn't finish it). There was still plenty of food in the lounge before I boarded the flight. I don't remember whether other snacks were available during the flight.
As for how far ahead you can BTC, usually about 6 months. But the in flight menu isn't available until about one month before the flight.

I recently booked and had Japanese Soya Beef. It's usually a favorite of mine, but that meal last week ex-SIN was just awful. My husband's lobster seemed to be fine since he finished it off without even offering me to try. Time for me to find a new favorite. Pistachio Lamb will be the next to try.

I wish that the BTC for SQ 2's second meal is more than just the congee... haven't tried it but does anyone recommend it since I'm not looking forward to having cereal and fruit for 'breakfast' (when it's actually evening in SFO and it really should be dinner).

1. I am curious why there are 2 separate Book the Cook threads. It seems to me it would be easier if it were all in one place. In the main BTC, people post menus and photos along with questions. In this thread, there are questions about recommendations, but it seems overlap as well.
2. The main BTC thread, FTers have posted photos of their meals. I posted photos of mine from March-April 2016, August 2016 and most recently November 2017. The April 2016 post had a photo of the veal.
These are the pages, not the individual posts are there is more than one.

3. I would also be great if, in a single thread, FTers posted not just "I flew SQ1" but also the route. Many who visit this forum do not know the routes for every flight number and often ask "What's served on SQ SIN-TPE" kind of questions.
According to the Singapore Air website, on departures from SIN, the veal is described as:

Thanks in advance
