Bukit Pasoh Road (Chinese: 武吉巴梳路: Malay: Jalan Bukit Pasoh) is a roadinTanjong Pagar within the Outram Planning AreaofSingapore. The road starts from Neil Road which is one way, but becomes two ways, when the road forks out into two parts, with one becoming Teo Hong Road, with both roads ending at New Bridge Road. The road is mainly lined with conserved shophouses and houses a high-end boutique hotel known as the New Majestic Hotel.
Before Bukit Pasoh was named, there used to be many kilns on the hill which produced pots, bricks and tiles, inclusive of pasohs (meaning flower pot in Malaya, also known as Ali Baba jars or tongs) which were used to store rice or water.[1]
Bukit Pasoh was initially named Dickenson's Hill after Rev J.T. Dickenson, followed by Bukit Padre and finally Bukit Pasoh.[1] The road was located on the hill and named after the road[1]
The road and its vicinity is a conservation area known as Bukit Pasoh Conservation Area, which is bounded by New Bridge Road, Keong Saik Road, Kreta Ayer Road, Neil Road and Cantonment Road. This area was given the conservation area status on 7 July 1989. The shophouses mainly consist of two and three storey shophouses in transitional, late and art deco styles.[2]
