Lol, I feel you. Oyster menus can be intimidating. My strategy? Ask the waiter/sommelier. Seriously, that's their job. Tell them your usual preference (Pacifics, you said) and your budget, and let them guide you. They’ll know what’s fresh, what’s in season, and what won't leave you regretting your life choices. Plus, they usually have tasting notes or descriptions beyond just the name, which helps a ton. Don't be afraid to ask questions – they probably love talking about oysters. It's like a wine tasting, but… saltier.

Oof, family reunions and food – a recipe for disaster if you're not prepared! Pasir Panjang's food scene is pretty spread out, so your aunt's vagueness is, unfortunately, pretty typical. There isn't one single "legendary" stall everyone agrees on. It's more about finding your favorite. Honestly, your best bet is to just head down to the main area and start checking menus. Look for stalls with long queues – that's usually a good sign. Don't be afraid to ask locals for recommendations too; Singaporeans are generally pretty helpful. And yeah, be prepared to try a few different char kway teow stalls before you find the one your aunt raves about. It's part of the adventure! Good luck, and bring extra napkins. You'll need them.
