Today’s Mealow (今食喵, or just Mealow) is a free food picker for when you can’t decide what to eat.
Pick a way to eat and answer a few quick questions: what style, who you’re with, what you skip. Mealow looks up real places near you on Google Maps (Amap in China), and an AI picks 3 dishes from them, each with the place’s name.
It works in English and Chinese with no sign-up, and as a WeChat Mini Program. Made by Ziwei Yu.

Tap “Show me others” and the cat picks a new round, trying to avoid the places and dishes you just saw. You can also go back and choose a different way to eat.

Spin the lunch wheel across rice bowls, noodles and bento, or type the places near work. To choose by your afternoon, read the lunch guide.
If you still plan to sleep, pick something smaller and less greasy: porridge, greens, a tea egg or unsweetened soy milk. For a bigger bite, the late-night wheel has fried chicken, braised snacks and instant noodles.
