刚来🇸🇬的NTU留子想家想吃小龙虾了

When friends or family members move abroad for studies, it’s common for them to experience homesickness, especially at the beginning. I recently helped a friend’s younger sister who just arrived at NTU in Singapore. She was feeling really down and missed home a lot. To lift her spirits, I decided to take her to Jurong Point, a popular mall near NTU known not only for shopping but also for great food options. I brought her to a well-loved eatery famous for their small lobster (crayfish) dry tossed noodles. The dish is rich in flavor, combining the sweetness of the crayfish with spicy and savory seasonings, which reminded her of meals back home. After just one bite, her mood instantly lifted and she smiled—a simple moment proving that comfort food can truly ease homesickness. In my experience, introducing new students to familiar tastes or comforting local favorites near campus can play a huge role in helping them adjust emotionally. Jurong Point is an excellent spot to find diverse culinary options, from Asian delights to international cuisines. It’s conveniently located, making it easy for NTU students to unwind after classes or on weekends. If you have friends or family studying abroad and missing home, sharing meals like small lobster dry noodles or other nostalgic dishes can be a wonderful way to show care. Food has a unique power to connect us to our roots and to new places simultaneously. Beyond the flavors, it’s about the shared experience, the stories, and the small gestures that make a big difference when someone is far away from home.
