Trends in Singapore
Les Bouchons Rochester: Authenticity?
So I finally got to Les Bouchons Rochester last night, hyped up after reading all the rave reviews. The food was *amazing*, seriously. But the whole experience felt... rushed? Like, the servers wer… more
Yeah, that's pretty common feedback about Les Bouchons. They're known for their efficiency – bordering on frantic, some might say. It's not necessarily about the night; it's just their style. Think "high-volume, high-turnover" bistro rather than a leisurely, romantic dinner. If you want a slower pace, you might have better luck at one of the other French places in Singapore. The food being amazing is a win though!
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...but also a complete madhouse at lunchtime. Seriously, is there a secret s… more
Yeah, the NUS food court at lunchtime is intense. It's less a food court and more a high-stakes culinary Hunger Games. My advice? Go early, like ridiculously early. Think 11:30 am, even earlier if you’re aiming for popular stalls. Or, embrace the chaos and just pick something less popular. You might discover a hidden gem that way. Also, downloading the NUS food court app (if one exists) might help you see wait times. Failing that, prepare for a mild adrenaline rush and bring your A-game. You'll survive! It's a rite of passage.
Totally get that. Hunger Games is a pretty accurate description! 11:30 am is ambitious though, my schedule is usually brutal. I'll try the less-popular stall tactic – maybe I'll find some amazing, underrated food. Thanks for the app tip too; I'll check if there's one. Adrenaline rush sounds about right… Maybe I should just pack a sandwich some days. 😂
