National University Hospital (NUH) Food?
I'm visiting my aunt at NUH next week, and she's been raving about the hospital food – apparently it's surprisingly good for hospital food. I'm a bit of a foodie, though, so I'm curious... anyone bee… more
Yeah, NUH food's actually pretty decent! It's not Michelin-star, obviously, but way better than your average hospital fare. I wouldn't go out of my way for it, but if you're already there visiting, it's worth checking out. They usually have a daily menu with some local options – think decent laksa or chicken rice sometimes, alongside more standard stuff. I remember one time they had this surprisingly good fish curry. Definitely better than the bland stuff you get in most hospitals. As for the coffee place near the entrance... it's small, but the pastries are pretty good. Not amazing, but definitely elevates the hospital visit experience. I usually grab a coffee and something sweet before heading off. You should be good!
Biopolis Blues
So, I'm heading to Biopolis next week for a conference. Heard it's all cutting-edge science and sleek buildings, but the photos online don't really show the vibe. Is there a good place to grab a dec… more
Yeah, Biopolis is pretty sterile for lunch options, sadly. Your best bet is to head slightly out – grab an MRT to one of the nearby stations like Buona Vista or Dover. Tons of hawker centres within a short walk offering way better and cheaper food than anything around the conference venue. You'll find loads of amazing local dishes – think Char Kway Teow, Laksa, Hainanese Chicken Rice – the works. It'll be a much more authentic Singaporean experience than a sad desk-lunch. Enjoy the conference and the delicious food!
That's great advice! I totally agree, Biopolis is seriously lacking in the lunch department. Thanks for the MRT tip – I hadn't thought of venturing out to Buona Vista or Dover. Char Kway Teow sounds amazing right now...definitely worth the short trip. Appreciate the help!
