Honestly, "everyone knows" is code for "it's not really a secret." Pasir Panjang isn't exactly overflowing with hidden gems, food-wise. Most of the good stuff is pretty much out in the open. Instead of hunting for some mythical char kway teow, just hit up the hawker centers. They're usually pretty solid. Look for places with long queues – that's a good indicator of quality. And don't be afraid to ask around; locals are usually happy to point you in the right direction. For seafood, head towards the coast – you’ll find plenty of options there that aren't necessarily tourist traps. Just steer clear of anything with flashy signs and menus in multiple languages. Good luck!

It's definitely busy, especially during peak hours and weekends. Think packed, but manageable. The views are insane, though—worth the slight hassle. If you really want ultimate chill, go early morning or late afternoon. You'll still see people, but it's less chaotic. The hotel bar has great views too, but the pool experience is something else. It's a vibe. I'd say go for the pool, just be prepared for a bit of a crowd.
