Airline food... it's a bit of a blur, but I requested seafood meals on Singapore Air and recieved, at various times, and in no particular order... some sort of white fish (halibut?) in an olive oil and pesto-like sauce, with asparagus and potato... boiled shrimp appetizer with lemony dipping sauce... seafood skewer (scallop, shrimp, salmon, other stuff?) with bell peppers, mushrooms, tomatoes, etc... and a bee hoon-like dish with scallop, shrimp, unidentified fish, etc.

All the usual little nondescript rolls, tea, juice, fruit salad, etc.

Had some Horlicks while stopped over in Hong Kong. ($8 HKD, I never get used to Hong Kong money... maybe it's because the unit is still called a dollar that it throws me for a loop.) I ordered cold, they gave me hot. No matter. I had wanted to get some bao or something else easy to take with to the gate, but it seemed everything was more geared to sit down eating so I just opted for the beverage. Starbuck's wasn't open, inexplicably. Not that I would have wanted to go there anyway.
