One of Singapore's first suburban residential areas, Katong was known for its hodgepodge of residents, many of whom were families of mixed-marriage heritage such as Peranakans, mixed Chinese and Malay families, and Eurasians, descended from early European settlers. The streets of Katong are lined with ornate terrace houses. From the junction of East Coast and Joo Chiat roads, you can explore shops that sell Peranakan and Eurasian foods, clothing and antiques. To get there, take SBS Bus 14 from the Central Business District.
