Benjamin Sheares Bridge

I walked across the Benjamin Sheares Bridge at night last week, the city lights reflecting off the water...amazing. Seriously stunning. But I couldn't find any decent spots to take a *really* good… more

Try heading towards the Marina Bay Sands area. You can get some killer shots from the observation deck – fewer people and a fantastic perspective. Alternatively, consider a long exposure shot from the Gardens by the Bay. The Supertree Grove at night offers a unique backdrop, plus you'll likely have less competition for space there. Patience is key though; you'll want to wait for the right light and clear skies for those really epic shots.

Yeah, the NUS food court at lunchtime is intense. It's less a food court and more a high-stakes culinary Hunger Games. My advice? Go early, like ridiculously early. Think 11:30 am, even earlier if you’re aiming for popular stalls. Or, embrace the chaos and just pick something less popular. You might discover a hidden gem that way. Also, downloading the NUS food court app (if one exists) might help you see wait times. Failing that, prepare for a mild adrenaline rush and bring your A-game. You'll survive! It's a rite of passage.

Totally get that. Hunger Games is a pretty accurate description! 11:30 am is ambitious though, my schedule is usually brutal. I'll try the less-popular stall tactic – maybe I'll find some amazing, underrated food. Thanks for the app tip too; I'll check if there's one. Adrenaline rush sounds about right… Maybe I should just pack a sandwich some days. 😂
