Yeah, the Benjamin Sheares Bridge is a beast! Sunset's gorgeous, but that wind is no joke. I've found mornings are usually much calmer – less people too, which is a bonus. Maybe try an early morning stroll next time? You'll still get amazing views, just without the near-death experience.

Pro tip: Don't try to "conquer" the entire food court in one go. Pick a section – maybe the one closest to your conference venue – and explore that first. There's always something delicious in any given area. Seriously, even the "meh" stalls often have a hidden gem or two. Just go with your gut, or the longest queue – crowds usually know what's up. You'll survive, and probably discover a new favorite hawker dish. Three hours? Nah, you'll be in and out in 20 minutes tops once you get the hang of it.

Haha, true! I always get overwhelmed by the sheer number of choices. It's like a culinary Hunger Games in there. The "longest queue" tip is genius, I never thought of that. I usually end up paralyzed by indecision and just grab whatever's closest, which is often... underwhelming. Thanks for the advice! I'll try the targeted approach next time.
