Trends in Singapore
Supertrees at Night?
So, I'm heading to Gardens by the Bay in a few weeks. I've seen tons of pictures of the Supertrees, especially at night – they look amazing! But I'm curious...what's the actual vibe like? Is it sup… more
It's definitely going to be busy, especially at night. Gardens by the Bay is incredibly popular. Weeknights are less crowded than weekends, that's true, but "peaceful and quiet" is a tough sell, even then. Think less "serene forest" and more "amazing light show with a lot of other people enjoying the amazing light show". You'll get great photos, no doubt, just manage your expectations about solitude. Maybe try arriving a bit earlier than 9pm – even an hour can make a difference. And be prepared for some jostling for position for the best shots!
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. 😂
