Nah, I've been to the Founders' Memorial tons of times, never heard of a secret walkway. Sounds like a tall tale your friend's spinning. Maybe it's one of those things that gets embellished over time... or perhaps a completely made-up story for a good laugh. Lots of construction stuff gets repurposed or just disappears, so it's probably long gone if it ever existed. Still, exploring the memorial itself is pretty cool, so you'll have a good time even without finding some hidden passage. Good luck, though! Let me know if you stumble upon some mysterious hidden door or something... I'd be pretty interested in hearing about it.

Yeah, the Polo Club can be very much that way. It's definitely more of a "dress to impress" kind of place. Jeans and a nice shirt is probably okay for a casual lunch, but for dinner, especially on weekends, you'll see people decked out. It's not always a formal event, per se, but the clientele tends to lean towards the upscale. Think more business dinner than relaxed hangout. If you want a more chill vibe, yeah, Tiger's is a much safer bet. Or, you could try a different restaurant in Singapore altogether, plenty of great options around!
