CraveMatch — what to eat tonight, decided in 10 seconds

CraveMatch asks five quick questions and gives you up to three restaurants in Singapore — open now, near you, matched to your craving. And you earn points for going.

By TasteVue Team

It's 7:15pm, everyone's hungry, and someone in the group chat has said "anything lah" for the third time.

Singapore doesn't have a shortage of restaurants. It has 3,000 over F&Bs within a 30-minute radius and no sane way to pick one. That's the problem CraveMatch solves.

Five rounds, three picks

Cuisine. Mood. Type of place. Budget. Location. Five taps, under 10 seconds.

You get up to three restaurants that fit — near you, curated based on your picks and open right now. Don't like any of them? You get one free rematch.

What it's actually doing

1. What cuisine are you craving? Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Western, Thai, Local, or the full list. Pick Surprise Me if choosing the cuisine is the problem.

2. What kind of place fits your mood? Date night, hidden gem, quiet & cosy, good for groups, solo dining, family-friendly, pet-friendly, Instagrammable. This round does the most work — it's the part Google can't do.

3. What type of place? Restaurant, cafe, dessert, bar, quick bite, casual dining. Dinner and 3pm cake are two different searches.

4. What's your budget? Under $20, $20–50, $50+, or no preference.

5. Where should we search? Near you, a specific area, or let TasteVue decide.

CraveMatch turns your five answers into a structured search against live venue data — location, opening hours, cuisine, ratings, photos. On top of that sit hand-picked lists our editors picked for top date night, pet-friendly, hidden gems, quiet and cosy F&B spots in Singapore.

Partners get priority — and pay you more

If a TasteVue partner fits what you asked for, it goes to the top of your results. We'd rather say that than pretend the ranking is neutral.

A partner only wins the slot when it genuinely matches. Dine at any of the picks and that's 1,500 points. No minimum spend, no receipt to upload, no catch. Dine at any of our partners and get paid more!

You claim it by sharing the meal on TasteVue Diary — a few photos, a rating, what you thought. That's it. TasteVue Diary is where the rest of the community finds their next meal, so your post is doing the same job for someone else that CraveMatch just did for you.

More on Diary in the next few days, so keep a lookout.

Why CraveMatch

F&B is tough. Rent goes up. Margins were thin to begin with. Manpower is hard to find and harder to keep. A lot of good places in Singapore are running with very little room for error.

The food is usually not the problem. Exposure is. An F&B chain can buy its way in front of you through marketing via ads or influencer marketing. A 12-seat cafe is relying on whoever happens to walk past.

CraveMatch brings those places to you. You get a meal you'd never have found, they get a customer they'd never have reached, and it's the same trip out.
