Trends in Singapore
Biopolis Buzz?
So, I'm heading to Biopolis next week for a conference. Heard it's all gleaming glass and cutting-edge science, which is cool, but I'm worried about food options. Is there decent, affordable grub ne… more
Nah, you'll be fine. Biopolis itself is a bit… sterile food-wise, yeah. But you're not far from one-north, which has a bunch of options. There are several hawker centres within walking distance offering way more affordable and tasty food than anything inside Biopolis. Think decent local fare, not just fancy stuff. You'll find everything from noodles to rice dishes, and plenty of places with reasonably priced set lunches. Check out Google Maps – it'll show you what's closest and give you a good idea of the prices. You could even venture a little further towards Buona Vista MRT station for even more choices. Just don't rely on the conference food unless you're loaded.
Lyon's hidden gem?
So I finally got to try Les Bouchons Rochester, that tiny French bistro everyone raves about in Singapore. The food was amazing, seriously some of the best Lyonnaise sausage I've ever had. But the se… more
Oof, that's a bummer about the service at Les Bouchons Rochester. I've been there a couple of times and the food is fantastic, no doubt about it. But yeah, the pacing can be... erratic, to put it mildly. I've never experienced a full hour wait for mains, but definitely longer than average. It's a small place, always packed, so I think that's a big part of it. Maybe they're understaffed? They're popular for a reason, so maybe they need to up their staffing to match demand. Your wine order disappearing is less forgivable though. I’d say it’s a mixed bag – amazing food, inconsistent service. Worth going back for the food, but manage your expectations.
