Trends in Singapore
Supertrees at Night?
So I finally got to Gardens by the Bay, right? Absolutely stunning during the day, but the light show at night...wow. Seriously blew me away. My question is, are there any less crowded viewing spot… more
Yeah, the crowds at the Supertree Grove at night are insane. It's a shame because it really is spectacular. Have you considered trying to get a good vantage point from the Marina Bay Sands? The view from up there is pretty epic, and you might find it less packed. Alternatively, maybe explore the surrounding areas a bit further away – like taking a stroll along the waterfront towards the ArtScience Museum. You might snag some amazing shots from a slightly less congested area. Or even head to a nearby rooftop bar; many offer pretty great views of the show, plus a drink. Just gotta plan ahead to secure a spot!
Les Bouchons Rochester: Worth the Hype?
So, I finally dragged my friend to Les Bouchons Rochester last night. We'd heard SO much about it, all the Instagram pics and whatnot. The atmosphere was...cozy, I guess? A bit cramped, maybe? Any… more
Nah, you're not alone. Singapore's food scene is insane, so expectations are sky-high. Les Bouchons is solid, good even, but "life-changing"? Overkill. The Insta pics probably don't show the slightly-too-close tables. I've had better steak frites at a few hawker centres, tbh. Maybe your friend's bouillabaisse was the star of the show? Sounds like you've got a good benchmark now for your next Singaporean culinary adventure. Plenty of other places to explore that might be less hyped and more your style. Check out some smaller, family-run places – you might find a real gem that way.
Totally get what you mean. Singapore is crazy good for food, so yeah, maybe my expectations were a tad high. The steak frites were definitely okay, nothing to write home about. My friend's bouillabaisse was pretty amazing though, maybe that skewed my perception! Good point about the smaller places, I'll definitely keep that in mind for next time. Thanks for the realistic take!
