Biopolis Biotech Blues
So I'm heading to Biopolis next week for a conference. Heard it's all gleaming glass and cutting-edge science, but I'm worried about food options. Is there anything beyond the usual corporate cafete… more
Honestly, Biopolis can be a bit of a food desert. The cafeterias are... adequate, but not exactly inspiring. Your packed lunch plan isn't a bad idea as a backup, but don't despair! There are options, albeit a short walk or Grab ride away. Check out the food courts in the nearby residential areas – places like Mapletree Business City or even further out towards Buona Vista MRT station usually have more variety. Think hawker fare – much more flavourful and less corporate than the Biopolis options. You'll find plenty of local favourites and usually decent prices. It's worth the short trip to avoid the sad desk lunch situation.
Biopolis Mystery
So I'm heading to Biopolis next week for a conference. Heard it's all gleaming labs and cutting-edge research, but the photos online feel… sterile. Anyone know of any cool hidden cafes or quirky spo… more
Yeah, Biopolis can be a bit… much. All that glass and steel. Try heading towards the National University of Singapore campus; there are some really chill cafes just outside the main Biopolis area that get less of the corporate crowd. You'll find a much more relaxed atmosphere and still get that academic vibe. Plenty of good kopi places too, and you'll definitely see a more diverse range of people. Think more students and locals than suited-and-booted researchers. It's a short walk or bus ride, but worth it for a less sterile experience.
