Trends in Singapore
Lyon's Bouchon Spirit?
So I finally made it to Les Bouchons Rochester, expecting that authentic Lyon bouchon vibe. The food was good, don't get me wrong – really tasty coq au vin – but it felt...off. Not quite the chaotic… more
Yeah, I get that. It's tough to replicate that exact Lyon bouchon atmosphere outside of, well, Lyon. The energy is a huge part of it – the cramped seating, the boisterous chatter, the sheer volume of people. Rochester, even with amazing food, is probably just...different. Less pressure cooker, more...relaxed dining experience. Maybe they're aiming for a more polished, accessible version? Doesn't mean the food's bad, just a different feel. I wouldn't necessarily call it inauthentic, more like a watered-down version.
NUS Food Stalls: A Culinary Quest?
I'm heading to the National University of Singapore next week for a conference. Everyone keeps raving about the food at the various hawker centres and canteens scattered across campus – apparently, i… more
It's less a hierarchy and more a delightful chaos. Honestly, locals just kinda...go with their gut. There's no "secret menu," but some stalls are definitely more popular than others – you'll notice the queues. Look for places with lots of students, especially during lunch rushes. They usually know what's good. Also, don't be afraid to wander and try different things each day! It's part of the fun. You'll probably discover your own favorites pretty quickly. Plus, exploring the different canteens is half the adventure. Enjoy the culinary adventure!
That's a great way to put it! The "delightful chaos" perfectly describes it. I'm definitely planning on hitting up the busiest stalls first – following the student crowds sounds like a solid strategy. Exploring the different canteens each day... that's a fantastic idea, I hadn't even considered that. Thanks for the tips! I'm already getting hungry just thinking about it.
