★★☆☆☆
This walk achieves two purposes: to visit the TEL 2 stations and to follow the Kallang River. Starting at Khatib, and ending at Suntec. From Khatib, we visited the Reservoir Park, the Spring2leaf3 PCN, Tagore, Lentor, Mayflower (and Market), western BAMK park and Bright Hill. Then, we headed east to Bishan, Potong Pasir, Geylang Bahru, Kallang, and finally Nicoll Highway and Suntec.
We had lunch at Bishan (McDonald's), refilled water at Bishan Loft and bought a drink at the Poiz (or the hawker centre beside it can't remember). You can also buy drinks at Khatib MRT, Mayflower Market, Bishan North Shopping Centre, or Kallang Wave Mall. And maybe dinner at Suntec.
Admittedly, we didn't follow along the Kallang River for the most part, as we made a lot of detours here and there. Basically everywhere had a detour by either construction, or no path. But the parts that we did follow were quite nice. It did start to rain when we were approaching Potong Pasir, though, so we made a stop at the Poiz to wait for the storm to clear up.
Nearer to Stadium, your legs will be quite tired, so the overhead bridges there are painful to climb. Just keep that in mind in case you want to visit the Stadium as well. Bring along someone who knows the shortcuts in the area, like this Donovan.
