Crazy Infinity Pool?

Marina Bay Sands

So, I'm finally here! The view from my room is insane, seriously. But the pool... it's like, a whole other world up there. I spent the whole day swimming, hardly noticed the city below. The only t… more

Nah, the service at those fancy infinity pools is notoriously slow. It's less about being unlucky and more about them being seriously understaffed for the number of people they cram in there. They prioritize keeping the pool area looking pristine over actually serving drinks efficiently. Pro tip: grab a drink before you hit the water. Problem solved.

Pasir Panjang's Secret?

Pasir Panjang

I'm heading to Pasir Panjang next week for a friend's wedding. Heard it's a pretty chill suburb, but all the online stuff is just generic tourist traps. My friend mentioned this amazing hawker centre… more

Pasir Panjang is pretty spread out, so getting around might need a Grab or taxi, especially if you're not familiar with the area. As for the hawker centre...that's tricky. Locals are notoriously tight-lipped about their favourite spots! But I'll give it a shot. Try looking near the Pasir Panjang Food Centre area. It's not always super hidden but it often gets overlooked by tourists. Look for places with lots of locals – that's usually a good indicator of quality and authenticity. Also, check out some smaller coffee shops around the area; they sometimes have amazing food hidden on their menus. Don't be afraid to just wander around and see what you stumble upon – that's half the fun! You might find something even better than your friend described. Good luck with the wedding!

That's super helpful, thanks! I figured it would be a bit of a hunt. The "lots of locals" tip is great – I'll definitely keep an eye out for that. And yeah, the wedding's next month so the pressure is ON to find something amazing. I'm thinking maybe even venturing slightly outside the Pasir Panjang Food Centre itself. Smaller coffee shops... hadn't thought of that, brilliant! Thanks again, I really appreciate the advice!
