514 Chai Chee Lane 03-16, Singapore 469029 Food is abundant. Especially in Singapore, it’s all around us. Turn left and you see food. Turn right and you see more food. Close your eyes and once you open them, voila, food.
But it’s the hustings. So if you fail to plan (for food), you are planning to fail.
It’s okay. We shall help you plan — where to eat!
You’ll also need to head home after the rally, and for that, we strongly advise against waiting for taxis or trying to get Uber or GrabCars, as they’ll very likely be few and far between. Public transport is the way to go.

- The Usual Place (346 Jurong East St 31 #01-73, Singapore 600346) A newly-opened café in the vicinity. Reviews so far appear satisfactory, and the Salted Egg Pasta and the Usual Wings are must-tries!
