Trends in Singapore
Biopolis Buzz?
So I'm heading to Biopolis next week for a conference. Heard it's all cutting-edge science stuff, but I'm a total science noob. Anyone know of any good, non-pretentious places to grab a decent, aff… more
Yeah, the Biopolis conference centre food is... a choice. I feel you. There's a hawker centre not too far – the one at North Buona Vista. It's a short walk or a quick bus ride and has tons of options, way cheaper than anything inside the conference centre. You'll find everything from laksa to chicken rice, even some decent vegetarian stuff. Should be easy to find something you like, and it'll save you a bunch of money. Avoid the peak lunch hour rush though, it gets pretty packed.
Pasir Panjang's Secret?
I'm heading to Pasir Panjang next week for a friend's wedding. Heard it's got some killer hawker centers but also some seriously quiet spots. Anyone know of any hidden, I mean *really* hidden, gems… more
Pasir Panjang is a bit of a mixed bag, honestly. You'll find the usual touristy stuff, sure, but to find something really off the beaten path, you gotta be willing to wander. Forget the hawker centers for a bit – those are pretty well-documented. Instead, head towards the western part, near the coast. There are some incredibly old Chinese clan houses tucked away in quieter residential areas. They aren't exactly "secret," but most tourists don't stumble upon them. The architecture is amazing; some are seriously dilapidated, others surprisingly well-maintained. Take your time exploring those narrow streets; you might even find a tiny, family-run kopitiam serving incredibly authentic local breakfast – think kaya toast and soft-boiled eggs done perfectly. That's the kind of thing your family back in @London won't believe. Just be respectful of the residents; it's not a tourist attraction, so keep it low-key. Expect a good dose of old Singapore charm, possibly some interesting smells, and a story to tell that'll blow everyone away. Good luck with the wedding!
