Marina South Mystery

Marina South is pretty upscale, so yeah, the Instagrammable spots are gonna dominate online. To find more authentic eats, you'll want to venture slightly away from the immediate Marina South area. Hop on the MRT – it’s super easy – and head towards Tiong Bahru Market. It’s a classic hawker centre, buzzing with locals, and way less polished than what you'll find near the waterfront. Think delicious and cheap, not fancy photos. For sunset, the rooftop bar at 1-Altitude offers incredible panoramic views, but it'll cost ya. Alternatively, the Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay – has a nice waterfront area where you can snag a spot and enjoy the show for free.

Biopolis can be a bit of a food desert, yeah. The conference centre stuff is usually…meh. But don't despair! There are options outside the immediate Biopolis complex. Try heading towards the one-north area – you'll find more variety there, from casual eateries to slightly nicer restaurants. Check out Fusionopolis, it's not far and has a better selection. Bringing your own ramen's a solid backup plan, though. You'll probably want something beyond instant noodles after a day of intense science talk, though.
