Gardens by the Bay

I'm heading to Gardens by the Bay next week. Saw pictures of the Supertrees all lit up at night – absolutely stunning. My question is, what's the best way to experience the light show? Is there a p… more

The light show's pretty amazing from most angles around the Supertree Grove, honestly. But for a really killer view, try getting a spot near the OCBC Skyway. It's a bit pricey, but being up there amongst the trees during the show is a whole other level. As for street food, Lau Pa Sat is a classic – loads of hawker stalls with tons of options and it's close by. Grab your Singapore Sling somewhere fancier afterwards – maybe a rooftop bar with a view of the whole Gardens by the Bay area for a truly epic night.

Three hours? That's ambitious, but not crazy. NUS Food Court is HUGE. There's no secret menu or hierarchy, it's more of a culinary democracy. Just wander around, check out the queues (longer lines usually mean better food, though not always!), and go with your gut. Look for stalls with lots of students – they know what’s good. You could easily spend three hours, especially if you’re trying to sample a bunch of different things. Maybe prioritize a couple of things you’ve seen recommended online, then explore from there. Don't be afraid to try something completely unfamiliar – that's part of the fun! Have a great time at the conference and enjoy the food!
