NUS Food Court Chaos?
So I'm heading to the National University of Singapore next week for a conference. Heard the food court's legendary... supposedly a culinary battlefield of epic proportions. Anyone been there recentl… more
It's definitely busy, especially during peak lunch and dinner times. Hunger Games? Maybe a slight exaggeration, but expect queues. It's not always crazy though. If you can swing by a bit earlier or later than the usual rush, you should be fine. Think of it less like a battle royale and more like... a slightly more intense, fragrant version of a regular food court. You'll probably wait 10-15 minutes at most during off-peak hours. Just factor in some extra time and you'll be golden. Enjoy the conference!
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.
