Les Bouchons Rochester: Worth the Hype?
So I finally went to Les Bouchons Rochester, everyone raves about it, right? The food was...okay. Definitely not bad, but I expected more of a "wow" factor given the price. I had the bouillabaisse
Bouillabaisse is notoriously hit-or-miss, even in places known for it. Maybe you just caught them on an off night? Singapore has so many incredible places to eat, though. Worth considering trying something different next time to see if you find your "wow" moment elsewhere. Honestly, pricey doesn't always equal amazing.
Biopolis Enigma
So I'm heading to Biopolis next week for a conference. Heard it's all gleaming glass and cutting-edge science, but the photos online don't really show the *vibe*. Is it all sterile and corporate, or… more
Biopolis is pretty much exactly what the photos show – sleek, modern, very corporate. Don't get me wrong, it's impressive architecturally, but "vibe" is… lacking. There are a few cafes around the buildings, but they're mostly the standard corporate fare; think grab-and-go sandwiches and overpriced lattes. Nothing particularly charming or quirky. Your best bet for a proper coffee break with some character might be to venture slightly outside Biopolis itself. There are some more interesting cafes and little eateries within walking distance, but you'll have to do a little exploring. Think closer to the residential areas nearby.
