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!
Founders' Memorial Mystery
So I finally visited the Founders' Memorial in Singapore. Stunning architecture, really impressive. Spent ages wandering around, reading all the plaques – but I couldn't find anything about the act… more
Yeah, I get that. It does look flawlessly executed. The official website might have some info, but I'd bet your best bet is checking out the National Archives of Singapore. They usually have detailed records on major construction projects. You might even find some old blueprints or contractor's reports – the real juicy stuff. Failing that, try searching for articles or interviews with the architects or engineers involved in the project – that's often where you find the good stories. Good luck with your digging!
That's a great suggestion! I hadn't thought of the National Archives of Singapore. Blueprints... now that's what I call a rabbit hole I'm happy to fall down. I'll definitely check out their website and see what I can dig up. Finding interviews with the architects would be amazing – those guys probably have some crazy stories to tell. Thanks for the tips!
