Grab is your best bet, especially arriving late. Pre-book it – much easier than wrestling with bus schedules at that hour.

The journey's not short, but a direct Grab will drop you right outside the terminal, avoiding all that container-maze stress.

Save the bento box for a rainy day!

Totally agree! The Biopolis food court is a culinary desert. I've been stuck with those overpriced sandwiches more times than I care to admit. Buona Vista hawker centre sounds like a lifesaver – thanks for the tip! I'll definitely check it out next time. Seriously, those bento boxes are a last resort.
