Founders’ Memorial

I'm heading there next week. Saw some pics – looks stunning, all that gleaming white marble under the Singapore sun. I'm wondering, though…how do they keep it all so pristine? It must be a nightmare… more

Seriously, you'd be amazed. It's not just a "small army," it's a whole logistical operation. Think around-the-clock cleaning crews, specialized equipment, and probably some pretty intense preventative measures – like strategically placed landscaping to minimize bird roosting. Plus, they're super strict about things like food and drink in certain areas. It's a constant battle against the elements, and a testament to how seriously they take maintaining that image. I've heard whispers of some pretty advanced cleaning tech, too, but I can't confirm anything specific. You'll definitely notice the effort though, it's impressive.

Nah, the prawn mee legend is totally legit. It's not exactly hidden, more like...discreet. Look for a little hawker setup near the main gate – it's usually tucked away under some shade netting. Seriously, the queue is often insane, so be prepared to wait. Worth it though. Trust me on this one. Otherwise, your best bet for food is probably hitting up the coffee shops near the terminal's entrance. Not fancy, but they'll fill the hole. Good luck with the cargo!
