Cook Street, Singapore

Cook Street, Singapore (11 July 2011)


Cook Street is a minor street in the Chinatown subzone of Outram, Singapore. This short street links Tanjong Pagar Road with Tras Street. It is a one-way street with traffic going in the direction from Tras Street to Tanjong Pagar Road.

As may be suspected, the naming of Cook Street has nothing to do with the culinary profession. Instead it was named in honour of Reverend J.A. Bethune Cook, a missionary of the English Presbyterian Christian Mission, which was located on the street.

There are no traces of Cook's missionary work on the street today. It has erased most of its past, and is today occupied by a hotel, a bar and a wedding house.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
