Hoot Kiam Road is a one-way road in Singapore. It separates River Valley from Tanglin. The road connects Zion Road, at the intersection with River Valley Road, in the south, to Paterson Hill, at the intersection of Grange Road, in the north. Hoot Kiam Road pairs with Irwell Road, which is another one-way road but in the opposite direction.
Hoot Kiam Road was named after Song Hoot Kiam, a 19th century personality who worked for the P.O. Company. His son Sir Song Ong Siang1 authored the book One Hundred Years' History of the Chinese in Singapore.2
Hoot Kiam Road still has rows of two-storey townhouses with a garden in the front.
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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
