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.
NUS Food Court Chaos?
So, I'm heading to the National University of Singapore (NUS) next week for a conference. Heard the food court's legendary...but also a complete madhouse at lunchtime. Seriously, is there a secret s… more
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. 😂
