Katong was dubbed as the 33rd coolest neighbourhood out of a ranking of 55 around the world by Time Out so I headed out to see why and checked out some of their recomendastions.

Did you know Tanjong Katong was once a popular seaside spot for holiday makers before land reclamation pushed the coastline back? Now the area is known for its rich Peranakan history which can be spotted all around with the beautiful shophouses painted in their trademark bold colourings and decorations. Peranakan food can be found on every street from a sit down meal to snacks and confectionary.

I stepped back in time and enjoyed breakfast at a popular spot that has retained its past life, watched the rain fall and listened to the traffic and chatter whilst enjoying kaya buns and and a hot Teh.

As the rain eased off and the sun started to come out I headed off to explore spots around this packed neighbourhood. Old and new sit together with something to look at along every road. Older hardware shops in between restored shophouses give glimpses of Katong of old.

I visit a few of my favourite gift shops and discover some new ones too in the search to find out if this really is the coolest neighbourhood around and why!

Come with me and let me know what you think.
