The easy access to sea sports like the East Coast Sports Club also appeals to a wide mix of foreign residents like Americans accustomed to life on the East Coast. These outlets range from those offering western cuisines like the Etna Italian Restaurant to Asian delicacies like the Megumi Japanese Restaurant and even the Middle Eastern dishes like the Deli Turk Turkish Cuisine. Today, district 16 is known for its distinctly fine mix of local and foreign residents, due to the agglomeration of F&B outlets that cater to a wide array of taste buds. The New Upper Changi Road was built and completed in 1979 where massive transitions took place in the area. In 1973, the Bedok New Town was developed and paved with newer roads like the Bedok Plain, Bedok highway and Bedok Heights. Bedok is derived from the Malay word bedoh that refers to a type of slit drum made from a large hollowed log used to alert crowds of people to the mosque for prayers. Several commercial buildings that serve to cater to the needs of the neighbourhood can also be found here, namely the Siglap Shopping Centre, the Crescendo Building, Bedok Mall and Bedok Point.īedok is endowed with historical significance, as it is one of the earliest native place names dating from the time of Sir Stamford Raffles, as reflected in the first drafted map of the Singapore Island in 1828. District 16 which comprises Bedok and Upper East Coast Road is a residential enclave that is marked by several high-rise apartments and HDB flats clamouring for the scenic ocean view as well as private homes located away from the hustle and bustle of city life.
