We are members of the Tanglin Club in Singapore and they give you a money off voucher for use in a restaurant on your birthday. Fortunately, it lasts a few weeks. Just as well, because we were in different countries on my birthday and had to wait for an opportunity when we were together.
My husband wanted to go there on a Monday because that is when they have their BYO (or BYOB bring your own bottle of alcohol). We had to wait a week to get a booking, and then they were full in the evening. I did not want to wait longer, as my birthday got further into the past and I was impatient to have an evening out, after weeks of Covid and being in separate countries because of family travels.
Advantages of evening meals
Normally we go for evening meals. You can dress up without feeling overdressed. Dine by candle-light which is romantic, and hides your age. No rush to be anywhere else. You are not too drunk to do anything useful with the day. If you are a bit tipsy, you sleep well.
Advantages of Daytime meals
Less problem paying higher charges for a taxi late at night. You can spend the rest of the day reminiscing about the meal. The big lunch saves you having to cook a big evening meal. So two meals in one day are taken care of.
