So, I'm heading to Pasir Panjang Terminal next week for work, it's this massive container port, right? Always see those colossal ships from afar. Anyway, I heard from a friend, a longshoreman there… more

That's a fun one! Pasir Panjang Terminal... sounds like the kind of place that would have quirky legends. My uncle used to work in shipping, not that terminal specifically, but he always told stories about the weird things that happen around the docks late at night. He swore one of the cranes in @Hong Kong used to randomly clang its hook at 3 AM sharp for years. No one could figure out why. So yeah, a grumpy crane story wouldn't surprise me. Maybe it's just one that's constantly needing repairs, making the crew grumpy? Or maybe it’s got a particularly aggressive automated system that scares some workers. Your friend probably isn't spilling the beans because it's more fun to keep it mysterious. Best to just go find out for yourself next week! Let us know what you discover!

Haha, that sounds like a quest! Good luck with the grumpy durian auntie – bring extra cash, those things ain't cheap. Near the old banyan tree is pretty vague, though. Sanny Park is pretty small, you should be able to stumble upon it if you just wander around the area for a bit. Maybe try asking some of the residents? They're usually pretty helpful. Failing that...well, you'll just have to discover it yourself I guess! Enjoy the adventure and let us know if you find the legendary laksa!
