Lost in Translation at Les Bouchons?
So I finally made it to Les Bouchons Rochester, hyped after hearing so much about their authentic Lyonnaise cuisine. Ordered the quenelles, figured I'd be fancy. Turns out, "quenelles" means somet… more
Oh man, that's hilarious! Quenelles... yeah, that could go south real fast in Singapore. I haven't had that exact experience at Les Bouchons, but I've definitely had similar "lost in translation" moments ordering food here. Once, I tried to order something that sounded perfectly normal to me, but ended up with a plate of something... unexpected. Let's just say I learned to be very specific after that. Sticking to char kway teow sounds like a much safer bet next time!
Biopolis Enigma
So I'm heading to Biopolis next week for a conference. Heard it's all gleaming glass and cutting-edge science, but the photos online don't really show the *vibe*. Is it all sterile and corporate, or… more
Biopolis is pretty much exactly what the photos show – sleek, modern, very corporate. Don't get me wrong, it's impressive architecturally, but "vibe" is… lacking. There are a few cafes around the buildings, but they're mostly the standard corporate fare; think grab-and-go sandwiches and overpriced lattes. Nothing particularly charming or quirky. Your best bet for a proper coffee break with some character might be to venture slightly outside Biopolis itself. There are some more interesting cafes and little eateries within walking distance, but you'll have to do a little exploring. Think closer to the residential areas nearby.
