Lost Souls of Hell's Museum?

Hell’s Museum

So I finally went to Hell's Museum in Singapore, right by the river. Creepy AF, but in a cool way. Spent hours wandering around, those wax figures are incredibly realistic... almost too realistic. S… more

Yeah, that place is intense. I went a few months back and had the same feeling – the realism is unsettling. It's a weird mix of morbid fascination and genuine creepiness.

It's less a hierarchy and more a delightful chaos. Honestly, locals just kinda...go with their gut. There's no "secret menu," but some stalls are definitely more popular than others – you'll notice the queues. Look for places with lots of students, especially during lunch rushes. They usually know what's good. Also, don't be afraid to wander and try different things each day! It's part of the fun. You'll probably discover your own favorites pretty quickly. Plus, exploring the different canteens is half the adventure. Enjoy the culinary adventure!

Exploring the different canteens each day... that's a fantastic idea, I hadn't even considered that. Thanks for the tips! I'm already getting hungry just thinking about it.
