14Km Walking Trail through housing estates - Serangoon Central - Bidadari - Potong Pasir - Toa Payoh - Bishan - Serangoon Gardens

Singapore - I met Edmund at Nexmall @ 7.30AM and we walk to Sunshine Park at Serangoon Central.  


Sunshine Park @ Serangoon Central

This is a small park for the neighbourhood residents is situated nearby to St. Gabriel's Secondary School. It was wonderful walk in a park and enjoying the beautiful scenery.  There are fitness stations suitable for all ages, making it an ideal location for individuals of all fitness levels to engage in physical activity. The kids' play area features fun-filled climbing frames and swings.

We can then walk through the Sunshine estate of private residences towards Bidadari.   This is the newest HDB estate in Singapore, many of the block of flats were still being built.   I saw it from a vast cemetery and then exhumed to make way for residence living.  Now it is change into a sprawling landscape of HDB and private residences.

This is the newly built The Woodleigh Mall - we had our breakfast at Tiong Bahru Bakery.   There a lots of outpatient and dental clinics, kids enrichment centres and 2 basement of food and shops.   

We cross the bridge to Stamdford American International School and took a look around the huge campus,  after which we went to Potong Pasir.   Then Edmund said we could walk to Bishan - and we did.

This footpath joins Toa Payoh to Bishan and it was a very long walk.

Once we reach Bishan, we decided to head back to Serangoon Gardens passing the Australian School and down Lorong Chuan to Serangoon Gardens.   Edmund went back home after that.  I was so exhausted and slept after a nice shower.

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.
