Katong & Joo Chiat Food Guide (Beyond just Laksa 🍜)
Besides the famous Katong Laksa, also checked-in at the other food spots...
✨328 Katong Laksa
It has been years since I came back again for the traditional Laksa.
1) Shredded Chicken Laksa 鸡丝叻沙 $7.80 (recommended)
Flavourful and rich coconut milk broth, and their signature style of shorter strands thick vermicelli noodles which you just scoop and eat with just a spoon. The laksa bowl is served with generous portions of shredded chicken, prawns, soft boiled egg and beansproats.
2) Katong Laksa 叻沙 $7.80 (Small), $9.80 (Large)
The originally popular laksa with fresh clams, prawns, fish cakes, just that it has lesser ingredients.
Both tastes are equally good, with the belachan chilli which gives off an additional level of spicy kick.

Having visited Katong and Joo Chiat multiple times, I can attest that this area offers a rich culinary experience well beyond its famous laksa. The 328 Katong Laksa stands out for its thick, coconut milk broth and shorter vermicelli strands that perfectly capture the traditional taste — the shredded chicken laksa is a personal favorite for its rich, flavorful toppings. Aside from laksa, Ah Yee’s Soon Kueh is a must-try for fans of traditional kueh. Their portions are generous and the fillings, especially for the Soon Kueh and Chives Kueh, burst with authentic flavors. It’s also great that they participate in the Monopoly challenge, a fun way to experience local food culture while enjoying some freebies. Kim Choo Kueh Chang offers an iconic taste of Peranakan heritage through its Nyonya rice dumplings. The distinctive herbs and spices in both chicken and pork versions are perfect for those seeking something traditional and rich. Don’t miss Dona Manis for dessert. Their banana pies, whether you prefer the original or chocolate banana, are freshly baked with a delightful crust and crunchy almonds. Plus, their exclusive Monopoly menu with Strawberry Matcha ice cream adds a special treat for visitors. For a change of pace, Little Farms at Katong Point delivers a modern brunch menu with Asian twists like chicken and cauliflower rice infused with ginger, and shakshuka that balances fresh sourdough, tangy tomato sauce, and creamy feta – perfect for a light yet satisfying meal. Exploring these spots offers a great way to appreciate the local food culture of Katong and Joo Chiat beyond the usual laksa. Each establishment has its unique specialty, making the area a vibrant food haven for locals and tourists alike.
