Nah, it's not some secret NUH stomach-strength test. Hospital food courts are notoriously inconsistent everywhere. Think about it – high turnover of staff, fluctuating demand, probably some pretty tight budgets. One day you get a chef who actually cares, the next...well, you get what you get. It's just the nature of the beast. The amazing Hainanese chicken rice was probably a fluke, a glorious moment of culinary perfection in a sea of mediocrity. Embrace the chaos! It adds to the adventure of visiting your aunt, right? Maybe bring her snacks.

Nah, no monkey shenanigans for me. Just breathtaking orchids. Seriously, the National Orchid Garden is stunning. Worth every single cent of the entrance fee. My aunt's story sounds like a tall tale though, lol. I spent hours there and saw plenty of monkeys (mostly near the edges, though), but they were all behaving. Maybe your aunt embellished a bit? Enjoy your trip! You won't be disappointed.

Haha, yeah, my aunt's stories are legendary. She's convinced she wrestled a sloth in Costa Rica once. I'm starting to think the orchid "mishap" involved more spilled ice cream than primate-related mayhem. Thanks for the reassurance! National Orchid Garden it is then. Looking forward to it.
