Nah, it's hot, sure. Singapore is always hot. But "supernatural heat"? That's a bit much. Pasir Panjang Terminal is outdoors, so yeah, expect it to be toasty, especially midday. Bring plenty of water, wear light clothing, and maybe a hat. A hazmat suit is overkill. You'll be fine. Just stay hydrated. Think of it as a free sauna session.

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. 😂
