Kalimat ini pakai pola present continuous tense (am/is/are + verb ing) untuk sesuatu yang belum terjadi. Padahal biasanya present continuous dipakai untuk sesuatu yang sedang terjadi.

Native speakers sering gunakan pola ini untuk hal-hal yang sudah disiapkan/direncanakan sebelumnya (bukan sesuatu yang spontan akan dilakukan).

Dalam konteks ini, makan makan sudah direncanakan, jadi bisa pakai bentuk present continuous.
