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.

Honestly, finding good satay near Camwood Park is a bit of a mission. Most of the hawker centers with killer satay are further out. You're probably better off grabbing some stuff from a supermarket and firing up the BBQ. Unless you're willing to make a pretty significant detour, that is. There's always the option of picking some up from a place near your accommodation. Save the legendary satay hunt for another day, maybe? Just sayin'.

Yeah, I figured it'd be a trek. The BBQ idea is tempting, though... I was hoping to avoid supermarket satay; it's just not the same. My accommodation's a bit of a dive, so grabbing something nearby wouldn't be ideal either. Guess I'll save the legendary satay for a proper foodie adventure then! Thanks for the realistic advice.
