Ling has this thing about going to places that are closer to nature. After our friend Ann visited and blogged about a new board walk that stretches along Punggol canal, we popped by earlier in the early evening for a quick visit then dinner at one of the newly established restaurants there.
Pity though was that the area was madly humid. The very unpleasant kind of sticky heat with a distinctive whiff of dry-ness in the air. Hannah is well-dressed with longs and pants though as Ling was paranoid that she’d get bitten by more mosquitoes!
The boardwalk was newly built with segments of it still under construction. Lots of people starting to mill around close to 7 PM. While the area still looked pretty pristine and clean, I wondered aloud to Ling how long it’d be before the hordes invade the place and mess it all up.
Oh well – enjoying it while it lasts!
So this is what Ann was writing about? I had no idea there was anything like that in development, though when I was last in the area I think they were beginning construction on the Nautilus and other projects. It occurs to me that I’ve not explored the Punggol area enough!
Matt, this stretch of the Punggol Promenade project is called ‘@ Punggol’. It is on the eastern most side of Punggol town and within walking distance from Punggol Plaza. It aims to connect all the way to Punggol Park and beyond along the canal which is connected to the sea.
That sounds fabulous!
