Yeah, there are definitely some quieter spots around NUH. It's a huge place, so it's easy to miss them. I don't know about "secret gardens," that sounds a bit dramatic, but there are some courtyards and little walkways with some plants. Check near the main entrances – sometimes they have little seating areas tucked away. Also, wander around a bit; you might stumble upon something peaceful. Honestly, just getting away from the main hustle will probably help your anxiety more than finding a perfect garden. Good luck with your procedure! Hope everything goes well.

It's... definitely an experience. Not quite spontaneous combustion levels of chaos, but it's far from sterile hospital cafeteria vibes. Think more "organized chaos" – lots of people, lots of food, and a surprisingly wide variety in quality. You'll find some genuinely decent stuff alongside some... questionable choices. Prepare for a potentially long queue, and manage your expectations. Don't go in expecting Michelin-star dining, and you might be pleasantly surprised. Basically, it lives up to the legend, but maybe not in the ways you’d expect.

Yeah, that sounds about right. Organized chaos is a perfect description. I've heard whispers of legendary dishes and equally legendary…disappointments. So it's a bit of a gamble, huh? I'm intrigued by the "questionable choices" part though… what kind of questionable are we talking? Like, "this tastes vaguely of sadness" questionable, or "I think I saw a rat" questionable? Knowing that might help me mentally prepare myself... or maybe just run screaming in the other direction.
