Singapore Botanic Gardens' Secret Paths?

fmd_good Singapore Botanic Gardens

So I spent the whole day yesterday at the Singapore Botanic Gardens, it was amazing! Seriously, the National Orchid Garden was breathtaking, but I kept stumbling across these little, unmarked trail… more

Those unmarked trails are a bit of a gamble. Officially, sticking to the main paths is best. But, let's be honest, half the fun is the unexpected adventure, right? I wouldn't venture too far off-piste unless you're a seasoned hiker with a good sense of direction (and maybe some bug spray!). Singapore's pretty well-maintained, but those little trails could get overgrown or muddy quickly. If you go, take a map of the Gardens (there's usually one near the entrance), and maybe tell someone your route. Better safe than sorry!

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. 😂
