Trends in Singapore
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!
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. 😂
