Kebun Bahru Birds Singing Club - 8.2km hiking walk

Nestled in the heart of Ang Mo Kio, Singapore, the Kebun Bahru Bird Singing Club is a hidden gem that offers an enchanting experience for bird lovers and curious visitors alike. I recently had the pleasure of spending half a day at this unique club, and I was captivated by the vibrant community, the melodic symphony of bird songs, and the fascinating cultural traditions that make this place so special.

From the moment I arrived, I was greeted by the cheerful chirping and harmonious singing of hundreds of birds. The club, which is situated in a serene park setting, is home to an impressive array of bird species, each housed in meticulously crafted cages that hang from tall poles. These cages are more than just enclosures; they are works of art, reflecting the care and pride that bird owners take in their feathered companions.

The bird singing tradition has deep cultural roots in Southeast Asia, particularly within the Chinese community. It is believed that listening to bird songs can bring tranquility and joy, making it a cherished pastime for many. At Kebun Bahru Bird Singing Club, this tradition is kept alive and thriving. The club regularly hosts competitions and events, where birds are judged on their singing abilities, and owners take immense pride in their birds' performances.

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.
