NUH's Hidden Cafes?
So I'm heading to National University Hospital, or NUH as the locals call it, next week for a procedure. I've heard the food court's... well, let's just say "functional". But I'm hoping to sneak off… more
Oof, NUH food court, yeah... I feel ya. It's... an experience. There's a little place called "The Daily Grind" a short walk from NUH – nothing fancy, but decent coffee and pastries, and it's usually pretty quiet. Not exactly a secret, but definitely better than the hospital cafeteria. Prices are reasonable too, thankfully. Hope your procedure goes well!
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.
