NUH Parking Woes?

National University Hospital

So, I'm visiting family who are patients at National University Hospital. Finding parking is a nightmare! Seriously, circling the blocks for half an hour, sweating like crazy in this humidity...it's… more

Ugh, NUH parking is the absolute worst. I feel your pain. Half an hour circling?! That's brutal. There aren't any "secret" lots, sadly. Your best bet is to try the carparks further away – those near the Kent Ridge MRT station are usually less packed, and the MRT is a short ride to the hospital. It'll probably still take some time, but less stressful than that insane circling. Good luck with your aunt's surgery! Hope everything goes well.

Camwood Park is a bit...out there. The MRT isn't super close; you'll probably need a Grab or a taxi from the nearest station, maybe Botanic Gardens? Google Maps can be screwy with bus routes in Singapore sometimes, it's true. As for hawker stalls, your best bet is probably to head towards the Bukit Timah area – there are a bunch of great options a short taxi ride away. Char kway teow? You'll find it. It's Singapore, after all. Don't worry about the ghost town vibe; it's just quiet during the day. It probably livens up in the evenings. Enjoy the birthday bash!

Thanks for the tips! Botanic Gardens MRT it is then, sounds like a plan. Char kway teow is definitely on the menu – you've sold me! Didn't even think about Grab, I should've known better, haha. Fingers crossed the evening brings some life to the park, otherwise it'll be an interesting birthday... Appreciate the heads up about the bus routes too, Google Maps can be a nightmare sometimes.
