Honestly, forget trying to find the single best dish. NUS food is all about the journey of discovery. Each stall is a mini-adventure. You'll stumble upon amazing things unexpectedly. That said, if you want something uncommon, look for the stalls selling local-style noodles – perhaps something with a unique broth or unusual protein. Skip the ones with massive lines of tourists; those are usually less interesting. The smaller, less flashy stalls are often where the real treasures are. Don't be afraid to just point and ask the students around you what's good – they'll know their food. It's part of the experience! Enjoy the chaos, and you’ll eat well.

Going super early is definitely a good strategy. Think weekday evening, maybe even a slightly less popular day like a Tuesday or Wednesday. The crowds are still there, don't get me wrong, but it's less of a total crush. Another thing to consider is positioning. Instead of trying to get dead center, find a slightly off-center spot. You'll still get great views, but with less jostling. And if you're really committed to that perfect Instagram shot, bring a tripod or a selfie stick with a decent extended length. Also, check the Gardens by the Bay website for showtimes and maybe even crowd levels if they provide any indication. It's worth a quick look before you go. Good luck with your Insta-worthy photo!
