Venue layout for Sunday (October 12)
Getting to YST Conservatory and UTown
At the end of Sunday, October 12, you are invited to attend the FARM performance, which will take place at YST Conservatory and will start at 7pm. You can also grab a dinner at one of several Hawker Centers and Restaurants of NUS UTown. Below is the guide on getting from NUS SoC to UTown and YST Conservatory on foot (which is a nice 15 min walk).
Important: Most of the stalls at UTown Hawker Centers do not accept cards, and only take cash or local payment means, such as PayLah! and Grab Pay. Make sure to carry 10-20 SGD if you plan to have a dinner there.
Exit the Sunday workshop venue at Level 2 of NUS COM1 going towards SR6 and the Student Area, so you have the view like on the picture below:
Descend to the first floor and proceed in the same direction.
You are below NUS Central library. Follow straight ahead; upon reaching the road, turn right and go uphill.
Cross to the other side, walk past the bus stop, and proceed below the sky bridge.
Cross to the opposite (right) side as shown below and go left.
This should have been about 10-15 minutes of walking. You can now go directly to YST Conservatory (to the left) or to UTown to get a dinner (to the right), which will take another 10 minutes of walking.
Let’s go to UTown.
Just go along this very long sky bridge. Make sure you are on a pedestrian path, the path on the right is for cyclists!.
You are now in NUS UTown, with lots of food options to explore.
The most affordable and authentic options are the two Hawker Centers: Fine Food and “Flavours of Utown” (further straight ahead). A few things to remember:
- You will need cash to purchase a dinner there!
- Hawker Stalls in Singapore don’t offer tissues. It is recommended to carry your own. Alternatively, you can typically purchase tissues at drink kiosks.
- When returning your food tray, pay attention to bring it to the correctly coloured stand (halal/non-halal). Halal collection stands are usually green.
Once done with the dinner, don’t forget to return your tray to the tray collecting station, and backtrack to the Conservatory (about 10 minutes). The performance will start at 7pm.
See you there!
