Late-night makan at Bedok Point

For Mrs G. L. Low, 45, the soft opening of Bedok Point in New Upper Changi Road yesterday has brought her and her family much convenience.

The housewife and resident of Bedok Central for 12 years said: "My family and I used to go to Tampines or Parkway Parade for food and shopping. With Bedok Point up now, I'm happy to dine here more often and even do my shopping here."

Developed by Frasers Centrepoint, the 7,525 sq m shopping mall in Bedok Town Centre will house more than 70 tenants over four storeys and two basement floors. It officially opens in the first quarter of next year, a Frasers Centrepoint spokesman said.

When my paper visited it yesterday, many of the food-and- beverage outlets were open. They include nydc cafe, Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen, The Manhattan Fish Market, PastaMania, Killiney Cafe, Mos Burger, Yoshinoya and Jollibean.

Retail shops that opened for business include Pet Lovers Centre, Mini Toons, Eu Yan Sang and Giordano.

Most of the residents my paper spoke to were happy with the mall's range of food choices.

Student Diana Mohammed Zul, 16, said: "There are many young people who frequent Bedok Town Centre before and after school. It will be easier for us to find food here in an air-conditioned setting."

However, Madam Monica Lee, 57, a housewife who has lived in Bedok since 1980, said the mall must have unique features to attract and retain shoppers. She said: "I don't want the same old same old."
