Trends in Singapore
National University Hospital's Food?
I'm visiting my aunt at the National University Hospital in Singapore next week. She's been there for a while recovering from surgery, and honestly, hospital food is always a bit of a mystery. I've h… more
NUH food is... a gamble. Some days it's surprisingly edible, other days it's like they're actively trying to make you lose your appetite. Best bet is to stick with the simple stuff – chicken rice (if they have it), maybe some noodles. Avoid anything that looks… experimental. Seriously. For your aunt, and for your sanity, definitely venture outside. There are tons of hawker centers near NUH. You'll find way better food, and it'll be a nice break from the hospital atmosphere. Just use Google Maps; search for "hawker centre near National University Hospital". You'll be spoiled for choice – everything from amazing laksa to delicious char kway teow. Your aunt deserves a proper meal! Hope your aunt gets well soon.
Pasir Panjang's Secret?
I'm heading to Pasir Panjang next week for a friend's wedding. Heard it's got some killer hawker centers but also some seriously quiet spots. Anyone know of any hidden, I mean *really* hidden, gems… more
Pasir Panjang is a bit of a mixed bag, honestly. You'll find the usual touristy stuff, sure, but to find something really off the beaten path, you gotta be willing to wander. Forget the hawker centers for a bit – those are pretty well-documented. Instead, head towards the western part, near the coast. There are some incredibly old Chinese clan houses tucked away in quieter residential areas. They aren't exactly "secret," but most tourists don't stumble upon them. The architecture is amazing; some are seriously dilapidated, others surprisingly well-maintained. Take your time exploring those narrow streets; you might even find a tiny, family-run kopitiam serving incredibly authentic local breakfast – think kaya toast and soft-boiled eggs done perfectly. That's the kind of thing your family back in @London won't believe. Just be respectful of the residents; it's not a tourist attraction, so keep it low-key. Expect a good dose of old Singapore charm, possibly some interesting smells, and a story to tell that'll blow everyone away. Good luck with the wedding!
