3.44 You use White Flower Analgesic balm 和興 白花油 ?

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

Yes. Good spot! I love the smell. It keeps mosquitos away and it makes your skin tingle too!

[@expresssoh]

I was just being introduced to Snail Mucus Gel to prevent mosquito bites. It works. You can give it a try

[@徐翊涵-u1f]

哇，搶頭香！很喜歡您的影片，很自然很中肯，恭喜您的訂閱人數越來越多，加油！

[@LucidFlight]

The visit to Coronation Plaza was a nice surprise! Wow... 30 minutes for popiah. Looks good, though. Thanks for the video!

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

Our pleasure!

[@hkkerh9823]

The cozy corner has a snack called Kuey Pai Ti, with abit of the chilli, it's really good.

[@tcwgraceful]

There’s a good popiah stall at Chinatown Complex. They made the popiah skin themselves. It’s done at the stall.

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

Thanks. I'll try next time I'm there.

[@percussimo]

原來是軍事區域無法空拍, 台灣潤餅會加花生粉和糖, 讓口味更多元一點, 也可以吸收些許的水份, 餅皮比教不容易破裂, 我猜水煮蛋比較不適合是風味單一且口感偏乾

[@LPS-ww4wl]

Wonderful to see, brings back memories of lovely Singapore .Lived there In the 80's

[@singaporehikers]

Nice. I just shared your video to Singapore Hikers facebook group

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

Awesome thank you! Hope you liked it!

[@YHTsai-kw9my]

2015新加坡的植物園入世界文化遺產👏👍新加坡🇸🇬潤餅看起來不錯👌

[@terrellyap]

It's the helicopters from the nearby Sembawang airbase - they fly daily around that area

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

Thanks

[@楊朝欽-t2s]

感謝您的介紹~讚（nice hiking trail and 潤餅）

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

You're welcome!

[@WiLLiSimply]

I saw that you were at Jelutong Tower and was also walking along rifle range rd...there are a couple of other trails which would lead you to macritchie and Windsor (thomson road). Tree top's closed for now ...They are all connected. As close as you can get to nature in Sg and like you were saying ....a gd workout...

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

Thanks!

[@mangotango733]

Coronation Plaza, used to be one of my hang out places when I was a student at Dunearn Sec back in the 80s. Time flies. The vegetarian restaurant upstairs serves pretty good food.

[@lisaliu06]

I recommend to tag the location to your videos, this should help when people are searching:) really enjoy your videos and hope to see more!

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

Thanks for the tip! and the kind words!

[@bobbuilder1255]

When you go on a hike, the fun is finding something different. I took the Mandai track, but took a different route. Its fun and exciting 👍

[@wongck4212]

Thanks Richard for the sharing, btw when you order coffee or tea ,you can request for less sugar (siew dai or kosong)

[@SuccessforLifester]

The popiah is expensive compared to the usual ones I had. But it does look bigger and also they are located in a rich people district. Long long time ago I used to go to coronation plaza to look at pirated games for Apple computer.

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

Glad to have helped you relive some memories!

[@RonLarhz]

Nice. Rarely tourist r interested in our nature parks yet they complain we have nthg but concrete.

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

It helps if you stay a while. Then you have time to explore!

[@Jesus_is_my_Shepherd_orchid]

Richard 真是好老公，什麼都會和老婆分享~…d===(￣▽￣*)b 讚！…

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

我的老婆應該不同意！哈哈

[@jack91g]

台灣的潤餅也有很多種，清明節南部會買潤餅皮在家自己包，每一個家庭包的料都不同。

[@japantravelermiya8000]

The world is wide ✨ I will do my best to post about walking around Tokyo! I will come back again👍

[@pingmomo1]

疫情中可以走在人少的熱帶雨林中是件幸福的事！好好保重身體及注意身體健康！加油

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

謝謝你的關心！

[@kahkiong]

Just went to MacRitchie Reservoir today, on the way back home to BoonLay, aligned bus at Coronation Plaza to look for the Popiah. Today the Cosy Corner open but "No Popiah on Sunday", feel so disappointed, so that went upstair to buy another Popiah, it's call AnnChin 安珍薄餅, not bad, also nice to eat.

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

Sorry. Should have maybe put the opening hours in the video!

[@kahkiong]

Never mind, it’s okay, still got chance, plan to go on next Saturday. :-)

[@chenyenyu88]

Loving ur vids, enjoy SG :)

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

Glad you like them!

[@leeys9192]

Thanks for your sharing Richard,didn't know there is giant scorpion around.love Taiwan as well.

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@ixactan69]

I have tried潤餅 from a push kiosk stall at Kaohsiung before. Thinking it will be like a snack like Singapore's popiah, I was soooo wrong. OMG, the潤餅 was very thick and big which ended up as a filling meal instead... I cannot really remember the taste of the 潤餅 already to be honest, but Singapore's popiah will be laced with garlic chili and sweet dark sauce which I think probably won't be in Taiwan's 潤餅? Actually I know some popiah places in Singapore will use egg omelette, fried tofu and add prawn. But traditionally I do not recall any meat though.

[@yapolloable]

if you wonder off trail, you can actually see actual soldiers doing field practice, mandai is a great place for military exercise.

[@alexchia0121]

There are also some old trails in Chestnut Park that are only known to some. Those are the better trails.

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

I know them too!

[@ChiaDaHsu]

新加坡的螞蟻都很兇，Mandai T15如果在假日走的話要很注意雙向來的登山車，因為假日會有很多

[@ixactan69]

如果遇上“火螞蟻”，真的不是開玩笑的。

[@vinnysing1324]

I love hiking ❤️👍😀

[@guest-fk2dGhDjRhf5]

潤餅起源是福建菜色，看起來各地區都有不同內容物，我倒是很想嚐嚐福建的味道，不過內容物來說算是比較可以均衡現代人多肉少蔡的一道菜色

[@quakespr]

I saw a king cobra around 1.8m long along the trail at chestnut nature park. Do be extra careful with the surrounding at singapore nature reserve areas.

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

I actually go there looking for snakes and stuff. Haven't seen a king cobra yet!

[@quakespr]

@@AsiaHikelopedia If you go there frequently enough, one day you will encounter the king cobra.

[@tairandodx]

步道感覺起伏不是很大。能看到黑蠍真的運氣不錯呢。

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

沒錯。很平的。新加坡最高的“山”只有166公尺！

[@9191-x5j]

Seems like a nice place to do some trail running

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

Yes, probably is. Although I don't trail run.

[@jakoskyhsu]

真意外！！Richard 竟然連台灣潤餅也吃過.....那有沒有台灣的食物 是想吃但還沒吃過的嗎？？

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

我應該都吃過！

[@尤俊閔]

他在台灣住了十多年 應該大部分的食物都吃過了

[@jakoskyhsu]

@@尤俊閔 ..........我應該要仔細看影片的

I try my best!

[@bukuku]

Wow I never know we have scorpions in Singapore.

[@leeedward4399]

Hi, 4.57 may I ask what hike tracker / app you are using. Thanks

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

I have a Suunto watch

[@atmosphere95]

2:50 Wow!!

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

Thanks. It's a great shot!

[@ericyeo8824]

Fair enough Richard. Hahaha...

[@NasuMeji]

wasn't it practice for national day?

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

Kind of, but the distance was not enough!

[@desandylam]

$2.50 for 薄餅 is too exp. Everywhere else is probably $1.90 and less.

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

I guess that's what happens when you go to Bukit Timah! I used to get good ones from Tampines Mall Food Court. I think it was $3 for 2 rolls. But it's not there anymore.

[@desandylam]

@@AsiaHikelopedia you can explore the many other hawker centres. i think can get $1.50 if lucky.

[@jasonch50]

$2.50 for 2 rolls is actually cheaper than most places, as it usually costs $1.50 each.

[@desandylam]

@@jasonch50 but the one in the video is $2.50 for 1.

[@jasonch50]

@@desandylam If $2.50 for one roll, then it's more expensive, unless it is a bigger version and/or has more ingredients.

[@SuccessforLifester]

Have not been there before. But I had been in such areas during national service and reservist. At one point, seeing green brought back traumatic experiences.

[@SuccessforLifester]

@Jeffrey Tham Physically and mentally abused 😓😩😫

[@SuccessforLifester]

@Jeffrey Tham I cannot do vigorous running as my arty vocation ruined my knees. Started to have problems in reservist but need to carry on.. When I do my long walks I do sing army songs for no reasons..

[@joannawong4155]

You must eat it immediately , it’s not that nice to bring home.

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

That's why I ate mine in the park! haha!

[@hankuo707]

Popian, 薄餅？發音？

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

I read that "poh-pia" (薄餅) is from a Teochew dialect, but I'm no expert.

[@hankuo707]

@@AsiaHikelopedia 謝謝，現在清楚了。

[@jasonch50]

"薄饼"来自福建闽南语, 就是新加坡所说的福建话。据说, 新加坡的薄饼和台湾的潤饼都源自福建, 尤其是泉州一带。

[@mrsyk12345]

新加坡的潤餅個人不喜歡 台北的也普通 最好吃的還是新竹城隍廟的

[@AsiaHikelopedia]

我沒吃過。下次去新竹吧！

[@hglim738]

I'm surprised to see cyclists riding on the same trail as you. For obvious safety reasons, there are separate trails for hikers and cyclists in this park.

😳O no, pls dont mention that Hypothesis word "M...invasion", Just a scenerio for planners, Unmentionable, ostensibly for diplomatic reason
