Coach to KL

 Kuala Lumpur - I decided to book a coach to KL via Aeroline - an executive class coach direct from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur.  The boarding process is smooth but required a negative ART test before boarding.   With no ART kit with me, had to walk around Harbour front mall to locate a pharmacy to buy one - fortunately it was cheaper than usual at SGD 2.85 per kit set.

The coach did not leave on time and the journey was comfortable.  There was one cabin attendant and he distributed blankets.   A while later, he was back asking what kind of beverage I wanted - coffee, tea or milo.   

mask on throughout the journey

The entire journey took 6hrs as there were 3 stopovers.

1st was Singapore immigration through Tuas, 2nd was the Johor immigration and the 3rd was a 15 mins break if any one wanted a relief or buy some drinks.

Double deck coach

good leg room

The meal provided was minimal - plain rice with sweet and sour fish ball and boiled vegetables.   I was quite hungry so I finish it up.

Calesa around Intramuros

Manila - Together with Albert, we took a calesa (horse drawn carriage used in Philippines) around Intramuros. Albert and Lesley Albert and I Intramuros is the oldest district and historic core of Manila.  The walled part of Manila was called intramuros, which is Latin for "within the walls"; districts beyond the walls are known as extramuros meaning outside the walls.  Construction of the defensive walls was started by the Spaniards in the late 16th century to protect the city from foreign invasions.   Guarding the old city is Fortaiago wich is located at the mouth of the river.

Cheong Guk Jang - fermented bean soup

Seoul - Lunch with Youngjin was at a traditional soup restaurant and it was crowded.   Youngjin asked me many times Cheonggukjang "ok", I said ok not knowing what to expect.  I have tried many weird and smelly good in Seoul, so I was very prepared.   My first time tasting Cheonggukjang and I like it. CheongGukJang 청국장 is fermented soybean soup aka Stinky soup.  Actually, I like fermented food and the smell does not put me off.   I like fermented food because of the many health benefits and also we have them here in Singapore - tempe, belachan, fermented bean curd (which I love with my porridge), chincaluk, etc.. very hot Cheonggukjang  I always buy danjang paste and bring home to make soup.  I understand that they are the same but the difference is Cheonggukjang beans are uncrushed and are fermented for a longer period of time.
