WHAT TO EAT IN Katong / Joo Chiat
Katong / Joo Chiat is an easygoing east pick for weekend makan runs, family dinners, cafe breaks and old-school comfort. Start around East Coast Road / Katong, Joo Chiat / Koon Seng, or Siglap / Frankel, or use the whole-town swipe if you want a wider net.
Today's shortlist
Same picks for everyone today. New order after Singapore midnight.
Mookata
Thai BBQ meets steamboat: grill on the dome, boil in the moat, all at once. Messy, smoky, brilliant.
Shawarma / Kebab
Spiced rotisserie meat, shaved and stuffed in flatbread with garlic sauce. Post-midnight sustenance, no regrets.
Red Bean Soup
Slow-cooked azuki beans, orange peel, a touch of sweetness. Hot or iced — the dependable sweet.
Poke Bowl
Fresh raw fish, rice, edamame, that drizzle. Light, clean, photogenic.
Caesar Salad
Romaine, anchovy dressing, parmesan shards, croutons. The salad that makes salad-haters reconsider.
Sashimi
The purist's choice: pristine fish, wasabi, soy, nothing else. Trust the knife, trust the chef.
Chendol
Shaved ice, gula melaka, coconut milk, green jelly worms + red beans. Best heatwave antidote.
Thai Green Curry
Coconut-rich, herb-fragrant, gentle heat building up sneakily. Eggplant and chicken in a green dream.

For second stomach, after-meal strolls, or a low-commitment catch-up.
Quick bites
Cheap, fast, snacky, and good for the not-too-hungry mood.
