This was originally meant to be the western portion of the Central Urban Loop, but since we already did the Kallang River, we decided to go a bit further west. Starting in Yio Chu Kang, go up the Ang Mo Kio Garden West, up that tall flight of steps, then visit the Birdsinging Club and Mayflower Market. Then, follow Thomson Road all the way to Balestier and finally Whampoa and Boon Keng.
We had lunch at Zhongshan Mall (McDonald's), and drinks at the 7-eleven near Mayflower MRT. There's a lot of coffeshops and stuff along Balestier, so you can have food there too. And maybe dinner at Boon Keng if you want
The worst part was the AMKGW, which was a pain to climb. Donovan keeps complaining until now. The best part was the Whampoa section, as the view of the houses was actually quite nice. Nice and peaceful river, with a weird bus interchange in the middle of nowhere. The Whampoa area looks like a nice place to live. Maybe even the 34 Whampoa West, which is the king of HDBs.
Don't underestimate the large staircase at AMKGW. If it is too tall for you, just go around it, or skip it altogether.
