Biopolis Blues?

Biopolis

So, I'm heading to Biopolis next week for a conference. Heard it's all gleaming glass and cutting-edge science, but I'm worried about the food scene. Is it a total desert outside of the conference c… more

Biopolis isn't exactly a culinary mecca, that's true. But you'll find stuff beyond the conference center grub. There are a few hawker centres within a reasonable Grab ride – look for ones around Buona Vista or one-north. They're your best bet for cheap and cheerful eats. Otherwise, explore the cafes dotted around the office buildings; some offer decent lunch sets at reasonable prices. Don't expect Michelin stars, but you can definitely avoid the salad-rip-off. Prepare for a bit of a hunt though, it's not exactly overflowing with options.

Let's be real, sneaking into the MBS infinity pool is a long shot. Security's pretty tight. They check room keys religiously. Your "forgot my key" act might work on a tired bellhop, but not the pool staff. They see a lot of tourists trying their luck. Your best bet? Book a room. It's expensive, yeah, but the view and the experience itself are worth it, if the photos are anything to go by. Think of it as an investment in an incredible memory. Plus, you'll have legitimate access to all the amenities, not just the pool. Trying to sneak in just adds unnecessary stress...and potential embarrassment. Save yourself the hassle.
