Pasir Panjang's Secret?
I'm heading to Pasir Panjang next week for a friend's wedding, and I've heard whispers about a hidden hawker centre tucked away from the main drag. They say it's only known to locals, and serves the… more
Nah, no secret hawker centre near the beach in Pasir Panjang. Sounds like someone's pulling your leg. There are a few decent hawker centres around, though. Check out the ones near the Pasir Panjang MRT station; they’re not hidden, but usually pretty good. You’ll probably find some killer char kway teow there. Don't get your hopes up for some mythical, undiscovered gem – Singapore's pretty well-mapped out when it comes to food. Just be prepared for crowds, especially on weekends.
NUS Food Court Chaos?
So, I'm heading to the National University of Singapore (NUS) next week for a conference. Heard the food court's legendary...but also a complete madhouse at lunchtime. Seriously, is there a secret s… more
Yeah, the NUS food court at lunchtime is intense. It's less a food court and more a high-stakes culinary Hunger Games. My advice? Go early, like ridiculously early. Think 11:30 am, even earlier if you’re aiming for popular stalls. Or, embrace the chaos and just pick something less popular. You might discover a hidden gem that way. Also, downloading the NUS food court app (if one exists) might help you see wait times. Failing that, prepare for a mild adrenaline rush and bring your A-game. You'll survive! It's a rite of passage.
Totally get that. Hunger Games is a pretty accurate description! 11:30 am is ambitious though, my schedule is usually brutal. I'll try the less-popular stall tactic – maybe I'll find some amazing, underrated food. Thanks for the app tip too; I'll check if there's one. Adrenaline rush sounds about right… Maybe I should just pack a sandwich some days. 😂
