Key areas of the hospital, such as its ward rooms and operating theatres are being revamped with improved clinical and operational capabilities. A refreshed A&amp;E department has been specially designed to help patients feel at ease, while a new cafeteria promises greater comfort for visitors and guests.

Stroll along the 2.2km boardwalk that stretches from Changi Jetty to Sunset Walk. And if you have time, you can even spend the day at Pulau Ubin before refuelling with Changi Village\u2019s famous nasi lemak.<\/p>\n<h3>7. Of cotton and coconuts<\/h3>\n<p>The East Coast of yesteryear is nothing like today: we bet it&#8217;s hard to imagine that the neighbourhood was once home to cotton and coconut plantations! How times have changed. In fact, the Joo Chiat area derived its namesake from Chew Joo Chiat, one such plantation owner.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_253424\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-253424\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-253424 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/East-side-Singapore-katongg-900x643.png\" alt=\"East side Singapore - katong\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/East-side-Singapore-katongg-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/East-side-Singapore-katongg-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/East-side-Singapore-katongg.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-253424\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Kim Choo Kueh Chang<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Katong may be bustling today, but it used to be a coconut plantation back in 1823. This spanned the familiar residential areas of Siglap and Frankel Avenue. Katong was also home to Kampong Amber, a coastal enclave, as well as a Malay village between East Coast Road and Amber Road. In fact, before 1819, pirates were known to stalk the waters off our Eastern shores. Imagine that!<\/p>\n<p>To learn more, why not embark on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.roots.gov.sg\/places\/places-landing\/trails\/Bedok-Trail\">Bedok Heritage Trail<\/a> and visit spots that were once home to kampongs, mangroves, military keypoints, fishing villages, and more.<\/p>\n<h3>8.
