If you want to find old Peranakan houses or have some tasty kueh, you've probably made your way to Katong. Elliot himself is a proud homeboy of the area. But did you know that Katong pre-land reclamation was home to one of Singapore's better-known kampongs that made its living from the sea? Or maybe you're interested to find out why there's a Chinese Swimming Club that was exclusively for Chinese-access only? Elliot and I dig into what makes Katong so special, both in the past and the present. Tune in to find out about places like:
Kim Choo Kueh Chang
Janggut Laksa
328 Laksa
Birds of Paradise
