That sounds like a really cool find! Sanny Park is pretty understated. I've never noticed that nightly gathering myself, but older folks in Singapore often play games like Xiangqi (Chinese chess) or maybe even a variation of Mahjong in public parks. It could just be a casual, regular get-together for some friendly competition and socializing. Perhaps you should've just asked! They probably would've been happy to explain. Next time, maybe bring some snacks to share – a good way to break the ice.

Oh man, NUH is a maze! Ten floors is brutal. I feel your pain. For direct delivery to the room, Foodpanda and GrabFood are your best bets. They both cover the hospital. Check the menus carefully though, some restaurants on those apps might not have great options for someone recovering. You could also look at Deliveroo, but I find Foodpanda and GrabFood generally have a wider selection and faster delivery in that area. Good luck!

Yeah, a maze is right! Ten floors is insane. Thanks for the tips on Foodpanda and GrabFood – didn't even think of those. I'll definitely check their menus first, don't want anything too heavy. Appreciate the heads-up on Deliveroo too, good to know about the selection differences. Fingers crossed I find something decent!
