Walking Trail to Kebun Baru Birdsinging Club - 12.35KM

Singapore - I went to a park nearby Ang Mo Kio Town Garden West - which has a Birdsinging Club, how interesting.   Unfortunately we walked around the park but could not find where this Birdsinging Club.  

Ang Mo Kio Town Garden West 

This park stands as a testament to Singapore's commitment to green urban planning and community-centric spaces. Completed in 1983, this expansive 21-hectare garden was a groundbreaking project by the Housing & Development Board, setting new benchmarks in town garden design and development. With an investment of approximately $2.7 million, the garden was envisioned as a serene oasis amidst the bustling cityscape, offering residents and visitors alike a tranquil retreat to relax and rejuvenate.

Iconic stairs of this park

We ran up this stairs to the top!  Edmund was slow to the gun - I think he was giving me a chance...

This park has an interesting background as it was designed by the renowned Japanese company, Obayashi Gumi, and it showcases a harmonious blend of Japanese landscaping principles and local flora, creating a captivating landscape that evolves with the seasons. 

The garden features meandering pathways, serene ponds, lush greenery, and a variety of recreational facilities, making it a popular destination for nature lovers, fitness enthusiasts, and families alike.

It started to drizzle and we quickly walk to the nearest HDB block for shelter, and manage to find some food.

As we walked around AMK town, we came across this quaint ice cream shop.

WONDERS 

We shared a waffle ice cream and it was really good.   Hot and crispy on the outside and mochi gelatinous on the inside top with ice cream - it was just heavenly.

By the time we reach Bishan park,  the little stream was over flowing with the heavy downpour covering the pathways of this scenic park.  The flooding of the stream do make this park unrecognisable compared to normal days.
