Nah, no hidden waterfalls in Marina South, sadly. Those whispers are probably just greatly exaggerated tales spun by locals trying to sound mysterious. Gardens by the Bay is pretty much it for amazing views in that area, unless you're a keen urban explorer who enjoys scaling construction sites (which I do not recommend). However, for awesome hawker food, hit up the Maxwell Food Centre. It's not directly in Marina South, but a short MRT ride away and totally worth it. Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken Rice is the famous one there but honestly, most stalls are great. Go early to avoid the queues, especially on weekends. You'll find way better and more authentic food than anything near the tourist traps in Marina South. Seriously, Maxwell's the place to be.
