Our Neighbourhoods: We Love Bedok Urban Sketchers Singapore Synopsis: Tucked away in the East is a sleeping giant: Bedok, a paragon of the heartlands. Previously bordered by the beach, this neighbourhood was known for its scrumptious seafood. Bedok, or Bodo, as it was once called, is now the district with the largest resident population—and the oldest. Journey with Urban Sketchers Singapore as great change sweeps eastward. Dodge through major construction at the beloved Bedok Town Centre, where Princess Theatre still stands, for the quiet of Bedok North’s songbirds. Have a dip at Bedok Swimming Complex, then replenish your energy with the famed rojak and cheng tng at Bedok South. The artists delightfully depict Bedok Reservoir too, where a certain Wall has travelled all the way from Berlin to Bedok. Praise: “Memory is the ultimate thing that makes a place come alive. I was a Bedok kid, and this book beautifully preserves the diversity and colour of Bedok!” —Royston Tan, director of Old Places ISBN: 987-981-07-5432-7 Format: Paperback Size: 125 x 175mm Pages: 96 Published: Apr 2013 Also in the Our Neighbourhoods Series: We Love Tiong Bahru by Urban Sketchers Singapore We Love Toa Payoh by Urban Sketchers Singapore
