Hi there,
Toa Payoh is a place that where i have grown up. I live here since i was born till now, primary schools n secondary school also in Toa Payoh area, 1st time work also in Toa Payoh area, 1st time hang out with friends till late night also in toa payoh and alot of things in Toa Payoh
Research from the internet, is like what every 1 had said, which Toa Payoh is a Hokkien language reference to "big swamp". When i am small hear from my primary school teacher that last time my primary school, Westlake Primary School, last time was cemetary or somewhere near 1, and from my mother that now where i am staying last time was a vegetables farm. Now it have been developed to so much different from last time.
Now in Toa Payoh we have air-con bus interchange, children or small kids wanted toys can go to kiddy palaces, More Than Words or shops that are open inside the bus interchange. There also have KouFu, Fork & Spoon, food court for people to eat. New families that just come to Toa Payoh and stay and families which stay at Toa Payoh for a long time, when they needed new furnitures they can go to Courts, cash converter or electronic store. People can buy go their daily needs can buy in either 1 of the 2 FairPrice or some covenience shop in Toa Payoh Central. People need to buy clothes can shop in Toa Payoh central. There are also having 3Macdonal, KFC, Mos burger. There also have Japaness food.

People who are a sporty can go to the stadium to run, swimming complex to swim, gym to have their workout and World Of Sport to buy their needs. People who want to buy bread and cakes can buy at Bengawan solo, Bread Talk or shops which have sell both. People who care about their hair and beauty here also have shops for them to go to, now Toa Payoh central have more hair salon as shop close down.
