Rich in culture, history, food and luxury; Katong sits highly on the list of well-known Singapore grounds. Named after a species of \u2018sea turtle\u2019, Tanjong Katong rests proudly on the shoulders of East Coast.<\/h6>\n
Once decorated with boathouses, beach-side retreats, mansions and recreation clubs, the area now preserves its legacy through beautiful 1970\u2019s shophouses and repurposed colonial buildings.<\/h6>\n
Peranakan \ufb02air is paired with diverse fare in this quaint district. Come dusk, the malls, tasteful bars and countless restaurants pick up the warm hug that Katong offers.
