For dinner tonight in Singapore, the fastest way to decide is Makan Match at eventful-sg.com/makan-match: a free 8-question quiz that gives you 15 spots in under two minutes, no app needed. Below are the dinner ideas it tends to land on for four common moods, all real places from its list.
Tap "Jelak pls" in Makan Match and the rich, saucy stuff comes up.
New Ubin Seafood, CHIJMES. Zi char with USDA Black Angus ribeye and their "heart attack" fried rice.
Ramen Keisuke Tonkotsu King, Tanjong Pagar. Thick tonkotsu, walk-ins only, dinner till 10pm on weekdays.
KANTIN, Jewel Changi Airport. Sarawak laksa and charcoal plates in a room built like a longhouse (our Jewel food guide covers the rest of the mall). You can book KANTIN here.
Opinion: jelak dinners work best with a group, so answer the group question honestly.

Tap "Light" and "Yes, I want it healthy".
Whole Earth, 76 Peck Seah Street. Plant-based Peranakan and Thai, dinner 5.30pm to 10pm, last order 9pm.
Komala Vilas, 76 to 78 Serangoon Road. South Indian vegetarian since 1947, open daily till 10.30pm.
Light does not mean sad. Komala Vilas thosai is a full meal.
Tap "Above $50 (DAYUM)" and the quiz opens up the expensive end.
Burnt Ends. Cooks with wood, book ahead.
Want special without the special bill? Epicurean Fusion, Kampong Glam, is priced at $$, so it shows up for people who stayed under $50. Muslim-owned, halal Italian. The beef Wellington takes 20 minutes. Closed Mondays. Book Epicurean Fusion. More in our Epicurean Fusion guide.
Tap "Traditional this time".
Song Fa Bak Kut Teh. Teochew bak kut teh, started in 1969, Bib Gourmand at New Bridge Road in 2026.
Swee Choon, Jalan Besar. Dim sum since 1962, last order 1.30am Sunday to Thursday.
If you are torn between two moods, answer the one you will regret skipping. That is usually the jelak one.
· Dinner after 9pm? Some kitchens take last orders at 9.30pm. Check the Google link on each card.
· Below $50 is a hard line in the quiz. Pick it and nothing clearly above $50 a head will show.
· Not hungry enough for a buffet? Answer "No, I'm kinda full" and every free-flow spot is dropped.
· Eating very late? Our supper list below covers places open past 10pm.
