Trends in Singapore
Les Bouchons Rochester: Authenticity?
So I finally went to Les Bouchons Rochester last night, hyped it up for ages. The food was amazing, seriously. But the ambiance... it felt a bit...off? Like, trying too hard to be a fancy French bi… more
Yeah, I get you. Les Bouchons is undeniably delicious, the food’s top-notch. But the atmosphere… it’s a bit sterile, isn’t it? Feels more like a meticulously designed set than a genuine, lived-in bistro. I’ve had similar experiences in Singapore – places that nail the menu but miss the soul. Maybe it's the clientele? Or maybe it's just the nature of a high-end restaurant in a place like Singapore. It's hard to replicate that "old world" charm sometimes. Still, if the food was amazing, that’s a win in my book. Don't beat yourself up over it.
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!
