To start off the flight with breakfast isn't appropriate, given there'll be another 10h before lunch is being served. It is weird if you ask me.
There's no option to BTC for the breakfast service. I am not keen of having late breakfast around 1000h after taking off. Do you think the crew would mind if I opt for lunch BTC for the first meal service? And stick to the menu for the second service? If you had similar experience, could you please share?

The flight departs in the morning 9am! Is dinner more appropriate? Well, 9 am Singapore time is about 3am London time. Wouldn't it be better for adjusting to the new time zone?
Anyway, I am sure the crew will try as best as they can to serve your "lunch" BTC for your after taking off meals, and you order from the menu for your lunch service before landing at LHR.
In between those two meals, there is light bites meals service which was not posted in the menu from the link given by MovieMan.
As the example of the light bites in between:
light bites SINGAPORE TO PARIS
Should you fancy a little snack or something more substantials, simply
make your selection known to our crew, during the flight
NOODLES
Fish balls noodles soup Vermicelli or flat rice noodles in broth served with fish balls and fish cakes
Prawn noodle soup Noodles in broth served with prawns and fish cake
Vegetarian and non vegetarian instant noodles
SANDWICHES
Smoked salmon with mascarpone cheese in sesame bun
Grilled chicken and tomato in focaccia bun
Roasted capsicum and Santa Lucia mozzarella sandwich
I took this flight last year in F and the 1st meal was served at around 10:30 am SGT. I don't think there is any other meal but breakfast that is appropriate for this time. Still way too early for lunch. There are BTC options for Breakfast for certain meals if you think the choices that's going to appear in the BF menu may not be appropriate for your timing. At least that's what I did by BTC the Nasi Lemak for the flight. And if you find something more liking for yourself once you get the menu onboard, you can always tell the crew that you'll take something off the menu and forget about the BTC you ordered.
There's no BTC for breakfast as a first meal service but you can choose from a list of breakfast online such as nasi lemak. For second meal service, I'd select a proper meal option from the BTC online. You see, I don't do lazy late breakfast.
OK, from your suggestion guys, I hope I can swap BTC for the first service and choose the menu for the second service. I'd be disappointed if the crew get funny about this especially after paying premium fare. Otherwise, I might as well fly J A380 ex-SIN midday departure, saving me a couple of quids. Any comment from people who know SQ first class trained crew?

Unless this is a recent change, it wasn't the case when I took the flight Sep 2007. As long as it was a breakfast designated BTC meal and does not fall under a "refreshment" nor "continental" type of meal service.
I called SQ in HK to BTC Nasi Lemak for the the BF meal and it was delivered to me for the flight when the BF meal took place not long after takeoff.
Yes, you are right. I just checked online. There's a BTC for breakfast first service but is a limited choice. The choice includes yu pian mi fen, fish porridge, nasi lemak, fish ball kway teow soup and some others but excluding steak, lamb, veal, salmon, lobster thermidor and kyo kaiseki. It is a cheap offering in First if you ask me. Anyone can buy the above breakfast for a mere SGD3-4. I might as well pack in my own lunch but will not because I've no reasons, I don't have any medical condition or dietary restriction.

Don't worry, if you've been given this advice by the regulars here, it's because they've tried it first-hand and found no issues.

I'm curious: which airline serves steak, lamb, veal, etc. for breakfast in F? That would be a very remarkable breakfast selection.
