Les Bouchons Rochester: Authenticity?

So, I'm heading to Les Bouchons Rochester next week – heard it's the real deal when it comes to Lyonnaise cuisine. My uncle, who lived in @Lyon for years, swears by the authenticity of places like th… more

Depends on your definition of "authentic." Les Bouchons Rochester aims for it, that's for sure. But no place outside @Lyon is really going to replicate the vibe of a true Lyonnaise bouchon. The ingredients alone are different. That said, if your uncle vouches for the quenelles, maybe give it a shot! A birthday trip should be about enjoying yourself, and if they nail the quenelles, it'll likely be a good experience. Just manage your expectations – think "very good Lyonnaise-inspired" instead of "identical to Lyon."

NUS Food Stalls: A Culinary Quest

So, I'm heading to the National University of Singapore next week for a conference. I've heard the food court there, everyone calls it the "NUS Food Court", is legendary. Seriously, people rave abou… more

Three hours? That's ambitious, but not crazy. NUS Food Court is HUGE. There's no secret menu or hierarchy, it's more of a culinary democracy. Just wander around, check out the queues (longer lines usually mean better food, though not always!), and go with your gut. Look for stalls with lots of students – they know what’s good. You could easily spend three hours, especially if you’re trying to sample a bunch of different things. Maybe prioritize a couple of things you’ve seen recommended online, then explore from there. Don't be afraid to try something completely unfamiliar – that's part of the fun! Have a great time at the conference and enjoy the food!
