Our public release notes
We ship small and often, and this page keeps you in the loop on the changes you can actually see and use. From new dishes to smarter searches, here is how the app has grown.
A new About page explains who runs WhatToEat, how dish write-ups are made and checked, and where listings come from, plus a halal explainer covering MUIS certification.
Local Surprise can now mix in Har Cheong Gai, Sambal Stingray, Cereal Prawn and Sweet & Sour Pork alongside familiar and heartland favourites.
Broad area names such as Paya Lebar now get practical town coverage, while expanding a search no longer falls back to restaurants far beyond the promised area.
Choosing an office, station, library or similar landmark now looks for food across the nearby walking area instead of only around the building outline.
Group-vote hosts now add their name and choose the deck before the room opens, while hotels and offices search for food around the location.
Updates turns our internal release notes into a short, dated record of the improvements diners can actually see and use.
Halal mode shows a spot only when its outlet matches a recent copy of the public MUIS directory, with the official listing kept one tap away.
Popular dish pages gained credited food photography, while the location picker expanded to Tengah, Bidadari, Woodleigh and Tampines North.
The Saved page now describes what is kept on your device and makes the difference between a bookmarked Deal and a claimed coupon clearer.
You can now suggest a restaurant for a future Deal from its details, without interrupting the food-decision flow or contacting the restaurant automatically.
Indian rojak, satay bee hoon, lei cha, nasi ambeng and four more local favourites bring the catalogue to 204 dishes.
A compact feedback button now makes it easier to report a rough edge or recommend a restaurant while it is fresh in your mind.
Local, Comfort, Healthy-ish, Date night, Treat myself and Desserts now turn a mood into a ready-made five-dish mix.
Finished shortlists and visited group rooms can now be reopened for 14 days, with up-to-date restaurant information when you return.
The location box now suggests Singapore places as you type, so a selected address, MRT station or landmark resolves cleanly before the search starts.
Open now is a real switch: turn it off to include currently closed places and plan a later meal without losing their current hours.
Searches now stay inside the area you chose. If nothing fits, you can explicitly widen the search instead of getting a surprise result from another neighbourhood.
The new Areas hub offers crawlable town and neighbourhood guides with a rotating daily shortlist drawn from our own dish catalogue.
Twenty-three desserts joined the catalogue alongside a Halal-friendly dish filter, live operating hours and a smoother full-screen mobile swipe.
