Locals in the know like to eat at Katong Square because it has varied and interesting F&B options, is relatively quiet and has convenient parking facilities. Enticing offerings of restaurants and cafes in Katong Square range from local kopi and craft beer to Taiwanese porridge and Peranakan pulled pork burger.
Katong Square
The site of the old Joo Chiat Police Station, which was formerly occupied by Katong Village, was re-developed into Katong Square a few years ago. The development includes Holiday Inn Express and Hotel Indigo and a 2 storey mall.
Unlike busy malls, Katong Square mall has a serene atmosphere. It is a good place for a unhurried meal or to savour coffee or tea tea nice and slow.
