★★★☆☆
This route bridges the gap between NUS and SMU, passing by the NUS Law Campus. We started at Kent Ridge MRT, Buona Vista, Botanic Gardens, NUS Law, Newton and finally Orchard Road and SMU.
We had lunch at Star Vista, and dinner at Orchard Centrepoint (Monster Planet).
There was a bit of navigation error near the start. Holland Road was also a little boring. But other than that, it was quite decent. I'd say we were talking most of the way through, so we didn't really enjoy the scenery at Botanic Gardens that much. As for Dempsey Hill, it was not as exciting as I had hoped, and besides the colonial architecture, we were mostly greeted by carpark after carpark, not exactly very appealing for poor people like us.
Maybe can skip the Botanic Gardens section, and just go along the Singapore River to SMU. May be a better route.
