Boon Tat Street is a minor street in downtown Singapore. It is located within the Downtown Core and Outram planning areas. The street extends from Amoy Street in the west to Shenton Way in the east. It intersects with Telok Ayer Street, Cecil Street and Robinson Road, and forms junctions with Stanley Street and Boon Tat Link.

Boon Tat Street was originally known as Japan Street. Following the defeat of the Japanese in the Second World War, It was renamed in 1946 after local businessman and Municipal Commissioner, Ong Boon Tat (1888-1941), who runs the New World amusement park along Jalan Besar. Boon Tat's father Ong Sam Leong was also honoured with a street name, Sam Leong Road. Boon Tat Street was traditionally known in Hokkien as Mah1 Cor1 Keong3 Phi1 媽祖宮邊 , literally, "Beside the Mazu Temple," in reference to nearby Thian Hock Keng Temple.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
