MacRitchie Reservoir, a 10km trail, offers a moderately challenging terrain as it winds through lush forest and circles around the reservoir. While the natural setting provides a serene running experience, some sections of the trail can be narrow, making it difficult to pass slower hikers. It’s advisable to complete your run before sunset (around 6:45 PM), as there is no artificial lighting within the forested areas.

5. Sun Ray Cafe
Credit: Google maps
Established 17th December 2010, we have started as a noob in this industry and struggled through a decade and past COVID to become the shape and size we are today. We did specialty coffee when nobody knew about cafe hopping. We roasted our own coffee in 2013 on a small electric roasting machine that is still with us awaiting the day when we shift it into our company ‘museum’. We were one of the first pet-friendly cafes and we understand that we are in fact the oldest pet-friendly cafe in Singapore today. Your fur-kids can dine with you in air-con because we are a Singapore Food Agency licenced pet-friendly cafe. We even started baking breads and cakes. Sun Ray Cafe is indeed, our hardship, entrepreneurship, craftmanship and mothership.
The roastery and bakery became Parchmen & Co in 2016, to focus on our passion for coffee, tea and pastries. Training services are also subsumed under Parchmen & Co, after we had major wins in both coffee and tea international competitions in 2017. Sun Ray Cafe remains the only hot kitchen for our group, with full time chefs. Although now an outlet of Parchmen & Co, but before everything, there is Sun Ray Cafe.
