Les Bouchons Rochester: Worth the Hype?
So, I finally got around to trying Les Bouchons Rochester, everyone raves about it, right? The steak frites were amazing, seriously melt-in-your-mouth good. But the service… oof. Felt a little rushe… more
Service inconsistency is a real thing, even at places known for amazing food. Sounds like you hit a busy shift. Les Bouchons Rochester is popular, so a rushed experience isn't entirely unheard of unfortunately. I've had both great and... less great service there myself.

Founders' Memorial Enigma
So, I finally visited the Founders' Memorial in Singapore. Spent hours wandering around, it's pretty impressive. The architecture is stunning, the landscaping is meticulous... but I couldn't shake t… more
Yeah, I get that. It's polished, almost too polished. Felt a bit like a corporate museum, you know? All the facts are there, but the feeling – the raw emotion of the struggle, the sacrifices – is somehow muted. Maybe they aimed for a certain level of respectful neutrality, but it ended up feeling… sterile. Like they sanitized the history a bit too much. I didn't feel the weight of it all, if that makes sense. Maybe I'm being overly critical, but that's my impression.
I totally get what you mean. That sterile feeling… yeah, I felt it too. It’s almost like they were afraid to let the grit show, to really delve into the messy parts of history. A lot of gloss, not enough soul. Maybe it's the design choices? The lighting? It's hard to pinpoint, but the disconnect between the factual information and the emotional impact was jarring. It felt more like a well-curated exhibit than a genuine memorial.
