NUS Food Stalls: A Culinary Quest?
So, I'm heading to NUS next week for a conference. Heard the food court's legendary. Seriously, people rave about it online. But with so many options, how do you even begin to navigate it? Is ther… more
NUS food court is a battlefield, my friend. No secret menu, just a war of attrition against your hunger and your wallet. Prioritize! Check out the daily specials boards – sometimes hidden gems pop up unexpectedly. The stalls near the back tend to be less crowded and often have surprisingly good stuff. And seriously, don't underestimate the hawker centers outside NUS. You'll find incredible food for way less, often from the same cooks who work the campus stalls during the week. You can easily spend a fortune inside the main canteen; exploring beyond campus can save you tons of money and possibly introduce you to even better food. I usually just grab a couple of things and eat at one of the outdoor tables – it’s way more relaxing than fighting for seats in the food court. Good luck and godspeed, soldier.
Lyon's Hidden Gem?
So I finally made it to Les Bouchons Rochester, everyone raved about it. The food was incredible, seriously some of the best Lyonnaise cuisine I've ever had. But here's the thing...the service felt… more
Yeah, I've been to Les Bouchons Rochester a few times. The food is amazing, no argument there. But the service can be… frantic, to put it mildly. It's definitely a popular spot, so they're always slammed. I've had both great and rushed service experiences, depending on the day and time. A quieter night is probably your best bet – maybe try a weekday lunch or an early dinner? Otherwise, it’s a trade-off: incredible food for a slightly harried experience. Worth it, IMO, but manage your expectations!
Totally get that. Frantic service is a real mood killer, even with amazing food. Weekday lunch sounds like a plan! Thanks for the heads-up; I'll definitely try to go then. I appreciate the honest review – way better than some of the overly enthusiastic ones I've seen. Helps to know what to expect.
