Instead of skipping dinner completely, eat something light like I do (like a cereal bar or something).

And don't eat supper

It depends on your goals. And at the end of the day it's calories in vs calories out. For me, supper is a must. Growth hormone synthesis occurs the most during sleep, but catabolism occurs the most during this phase. Some form of slow digesting protein (caseinate) is recommended.

Of course eating nasi lemak, roti canai, mee goreng, etc is plain silly and asking for trouble. This is where the myth comes from. That eating supper makes you fat.
Think, 8 hours of sleep, 8 hours of not eating, 8 hours of catabolism if your last meal is 3 hours before you sleep, most of the protein would have been digested. Your muscles will be leeching of amino acids from each other. Eating a proper supper before you sleep can actually hardwire your metabolism causing muscle gain and fat loss.

But I don't eat much during night when I feel like it is not needed to
