I recreated “Japan Hour” and made Singapore’s version. Let’s call it SINGAPORE HOUR! Today we are exploring Bedok, in “Japan Hour” style. Bedok has a rich history, with evidence of human settlement dating back to the 14th century. Today, it is known for its vibrant and diverse community, with a good mix of housing, shopping centres, parks and a thriving food scene. It is a lesser-known area among the tourists but is filled with charms. Join us to explore all the hidden gems Bedok has to offer.

you managed to visit the worst salon in Bedok – check out their google reviews – one year ago they made the news for selling an almost $5k package to an old lady and her son made a police report for the scam. haha that’s why haircut $10 wash $12. that’s a scam shop!
Ghid, you can do a Goodwoods park durian buffet.
シンガポールで働いていた時,Bedokに3年住んでいました，たくさんの思い出があった！ when I working at Singapore I living at Bedok for 3years ,I miss this place !
I enjoy the videos on Singapore Hour. You have made Singapore so interesting. Thank you.
haha this “Singapore hour” video style is entertaining. It’s funny to see how this show can adapt “Japan hour” into our local context. Do check out Bedok 85 market, a popular dinner/supper spot with satays, ba chor mee, hokkien mee, sting ray and your usual hawker fare! Also Simpang bedok, with some cafes, Indian food like roti prata etc. Different vibes! The market and hawker centre at Block 216 (next to Heartbeat) is also bustling in the mornings!
Hi Ghib, are there equivalent heartland areas like Bedok in Japan? Would love to see where and how the locals live!
I dont remember the exact number of mrt stations in singapoor but there’s a lot yeah. Not all of them are as big as bedok for sure, but bedok is probably on the bigger side, and you could walk to either station on each side. In fact I believe there’s another station thats still under construction, and if you count the existing bedok north and bedok reservoir station thats four in total. Quite a distance though.
There’s a decathlon between bedok and kembangan as well, but its a bit awkwardly positioned.
Distance between bedok north and bedok south is like 3-4km so thats a huge area
Honestly singapoor is so dense you could throw a random dart and still find a lot of people. Probably.
Bedok I believe has some of the taller buildings with interesting views(?) Not sure since I’ve never been there myself
Not just bedok of course but the integrated pool design is kinda curious actually. From the outside you cant even tell there is a pool, but there is.
One thing I forgor to mention is the stadium as well.
Actually getting to east coast park or the reservoir from the bedok station itself is kind of difficult.
Off the top of my head yeah, bedok has the massive hawker center right in front of the station which is very different from the others.
Ghib, next time can mrt hike on Singapore various network to show case around Singapore. Suggestion only. Thanks
