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-area swipe if you want a wider net.
Today's shortlist
Same picks for everyone today. New order after Singapore midnight.
Chicken Nuggets
Crispy little dunkers. Sweet sauce, curry sauce, or both. No judgement.
Sushi
From supermarket rolls to omakase counter seats -- every grade of fish on vinegared rice is a good time.
Kopi / Teh
Robusta brewed through a sock, poured over condensed milk. Say "O" to skip milk, "Kosong" for no sugar.
Japchae
Chewy sweet-potato glass noodles, sesame, veg + beef. Springy and savoury.
Pasta
Al dente and proud of it -- aglio olio, carbonara, arrabiata -- whatever your mood, pasta has the answer.
Teh Tarik
Pulled, frothy, sweet, hot. The sound and sight of the pour is half the appeal. Best from a mamak stall at 2am.
Bak Chor Mee
Vinegar, chilli, minced pork, crispy ti poh. The breakfast of champions and queue legends.
Cheng Tng
Cooling clear sweet soup, longan, barley, gingko. Hot or iced.

Halal-friendly ideas
A useful starting point. Still check the stall's halal cert before ordering.
Dessert and drink run
For second stomach, after-meal strolls, or a low-commitment catch-up.
Need some heat
For days when bland food simply cannot.
