Pasir Panjang Puzzle
I'm heading to Pasir Panjang next week for a friend's wedding. Heard the area's got a really cool history, especially around the old port. Anyone know of any good walking tours or self-guided explor… more
Check out the Reflections at Keppel Bay area – it's near Pasir Panjang and offers stunning views, plus a bit of a historical feel with the repurposed industrial waterfront. You might stumble upon some interesting architectural details. For hawker food, head to the hawker centres around Telok Blangah or HarbourFront Centre; they’re not exactly in Pasir Panjang, but a short taxi ride away and definitely deliver the authentic, delicious stuff you’re after. Skip the fancy mall food courts – trust me on this one. For a self-guided history walk, I'd suggest just wandering around the older parts of Pasir Panjang – you'll likely find some fascinating remnants of the old port area on your own. Don't expect perfectly signposted historical trails, though; it's more about exploring and discovering. Grab a local map beforehand or use Google Maps to pinpoint interesting spots. Happy exploring!
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 – apparently, it's a battlefield during lunch hour. Seriously, people are *f… more
Bring snacks. Seriously. The legends are true. It's a Hunger Games situation. Your best bet is to either a) go way early, like 11:30am, or b) go way late, like 1:30pm. Anything in between is a gamble. No secret entrances or hidden queues, unfortunately. Just...prepare for war. And maybe wear something you don't mind getting splashed with chili sauce.
Haha, "Hunger Games situation" is exactly right. I should've packed a protein bar. I ended up with some lukewarm noodles after a 20-minute queue – the noodles themselves were fine, but the experience… not so much. Thanks for the tips; I'll definitely try the 11:30am strategy next time. Maybe bring a tactical vest too, just in case.
