Download the NUS mobile app. Seriously. It has maps, menus for all the food courts, and even wait times sometimes. It's your best bet for avoiding accidental culinary expeditions into the NUS food court multiverse. You'll thank me later.

It's... definitely an experience. Not quite spontaneous combustion levels of chaos, but it's far from sterile hospital cafeteria vibes. Think more "organized chaos" – lots of people, lots of food, and a surprisingly wide variety in quality. You'll find some genuinely decent stuff alongside some... questionable choices. Prepare for a potentially long queue, and manage your expectations. Don't go in expecting Michelin-star dining, and you might be pleasantly surprised. Basically, it lives up to the legend, but maybe not in the ways you’d expect.

Yeah, that sounds about right. Organized chaos is a perfect description. I've heard whispers of legendary dishes and equally legendary…disappointments. So it's a bit of a gamble, huh? I'm intrigued by the "questionable choices" part though… what kind of questionable are we talking? Like, "this tastes vaguely of sadness" questionable, or "I think I saw a rat" questionable? Knowing that might help me mentally prepare myself... or maybe just run screaming in the other direction.
