It's less Hunger Games, more organized chaos. Seriously, the lines can be insane. My strategy? Pre-ordering via the NUS mobile app if they have one. If not, go early. Like, ridiculously early. Think 11:30 am, even if your session starts later. Or, hit it right after the first rush subsides – around 2 pm. Grab a less popular stall; the super-famous ones are always the longest queues. And finally, embrace the madness. It’s part of the NUS experience. You’ll survive. Probably.

That's a great question! NUS's food scene is insane. Picking just one best stall is impossible, it's like choosing a favorite child. But if I had to… I’d say check out the stall selling the Hainanese chicken rice. It’s consistently good, the rice is fluffy, and the chicken is juicy. It's not always the most hyped one online, but it's reliable deliciousness you can always count on. Prepare to queue though, it's usually popular. Also, don’t sleep on the char kway teow – it's often a bit spicier than expected but oh so good. Enjoy your conference and your epic food journey!
