Yeah, the wind around Marina South can be intense. It's not always like that, but definitely more often than a "gentle breeze." Think of it as a natural wind tunnel effect sometimes – buildings and the water create some pretty powerful gusts. Plan your outdoor activities accordingly. The waterfront promenade is lovely, but you might get your hat blown into the harbor. Bring something to secure loose items! And maybe a sturdy umbrella, just in case.

Good luck with your quest! Sounds like a proper legend. Pasir Panjang Terminal is a beast, though. Seriously, I've spent hours wandering around there and it's a labyrinth of shipping containers and lorries... Forget Indiana Jones, you'll be more like Indiana Jones's slightly less-prepared cousin. My advice? Befriend a longshoreman. Seriously. Buy them a Tiger beer or two. These guys know EVERYTHING about the place. They're the gatekeepers to this mythical char kway teow. Otherwise... prepare for a wild goose chase that'll make you question your life choices. Let us know if you find it! I'm genuinely curious now.
