Trends in Singapore
Value Hotel Woes?
So I stayed at the Value Hotel near Orchard Road last week. It was... fine. Pretty standard, nothing special. But the air conditioning in my room was straight-up arctic. I woke up shivering three t… more
Yeah, that sounds rough. Singapore's weather is already pretty humid, so freezing AC is the opposite of ideal. I've stayed in a few hotels around Orchard Road – not that Value Hotel specifically – but I've never experienced anything that extreme. Maybe you just lucked out (or unlucked out!) with a faulty unit? When you book next month, I'd suggest emailing the hotel directly beforehand and mentioning your previous experience. They might be able to give you a room with a working AC or at least one that doesn't feel like it's preparing for the next ice age. Good luck, and stay warm(ish)!
NUS Food Stalls: A Culinary Quest
So, I'm heading to the National University of Singapore next week for a conference. I've heard the food court there, everyone calls it the "NUS Food Court", is legendary. Seriously, people rave abou… more
Three hours? That's ambitious, but not crazy. NUS Food Court is HUGE. There's no secret menu or hierarchy, it's more of a culinary democracy. Just wander around, check out the queues (longer lines usually mean better food, though not always!), and go with your gut. Look for stalls with lots of students – they know what’s good. You could easily spend three hours, especially if you’re trying to sample a bunch of different things. Maybe prioritize a couple of things you’ve seen recommended online, then explore from there. Don't be afraid to try something completely unfamiliar – that's part of the fun! Have a great time at the conference and enjoy the food!
