As one of the residential districts of Singapore, Katong is often ignored by tourists. However, this neighborhood also has its own share of surprises that await visitors, particularly foodies. A must-try place is Chin Mee Chin Confectionery, best known for its kaya toast (coconut jam on toast), the quintessential Singaporean breakfast. Another local dish that visitors can try out is laksa, the coconut-based soup, from 328 Katong Laksa (it’s listed in the Michelin Guide so you know you can’t miss it!). You can even get your souvenirs in Katong, as Rumah Bebe sells Peranakan products like bright-colored sarongs, that travellers can take home with them. Stay at one of the hotels and Airbnbs vacation rentals near Katong and discover its hidden secrets yourself!
