Katong-Joo Chiat

• Katong is a village situated on the East Coast of Singapore. It is famous for 2 things. The first is being the Peranakan enclave of Singapore. The second is food.
• Those visitors who do make it to Katong often come to see our colourful shophouses. These Peranakan homes are famous around the world and have been kept in mint condition. They add a unique characteristic to the area.
• Being near to the coast makes Katong an irresistible area to do an evening food tour. The cool breeze offers us perfect conditions to explore the heritage streets and to enjoy our food on the streets as local life goes by. Katong is know to be one of the best foodie neighbourhoods in Singapore. It is the home to one of our national dishes, Katong laksa. In a short walk you can experience Malay, Chinese, Indian, Indonesian, Eurasian and of course Peranakan food.

Sri Senpaga Vinayagar Temple

• One of the oldest and most beautiful Hindu temples in Singapore. We visit this temple on the evening tour for a number of reasons. First it is important to realise how multi-cultural this part of Singapore is. The community around Ceylon road has played a huge part in the Singapore story and the temple is the centre point in their life.
• We also get to see how food and religion mix. The banana leaves arching across the entrance and the coconuts being smashed at the front of the temple all carry meaning.
• Our temple visit shows an insiders look at life in Katong.

Peranakan Houses

• Katong is famous for the stunning Peranakan houses that line its streets. Due to strict laws, the houses have kept their old school charm. Many are painted in bright colours and all have decorative additions. Some of these houses are private residences worth millions of dollars. It is easy to see why people pay such a high price to own one. We'll take a stroll down the back lanes of katong and see firsthand these famous buildings.
• We also get the opportunity to have a look inside one and try some tasty home made bites.
• They really are an amazing backdrop to our food tour.
