	Singapore Travel Guide : Fort Tanjong Katong at Katong Park
		Although Tanjong Katong Park is a popular picnic place for residences in the Meyer Road and Tanjong Rhu areas, this park was actually a heavily armed fortress during the time of British colonization.
		Construction on the Tanjong Katong battery started in 1879: As part of a series of defensive batteries and fortifications along the south coast of Singapore, its objective was to defend the eastern areas like the Singapore Harbour, Singapore Town and New Harbour now known as Keppel Harbour.
		The battery was surrounded by an escarpment of mangrove piles and a wet ditch measuring 100 feet on the flanks.

		Katong Gym is well-positioned to take advantage of the lifestyle associated with being close to the beach and next door to some of the best foods in Singapore.
		I told her that it is a aspiration of mine to host artwork at the hostel from artists from the Katong district.
		We took 3 months in selecting a location for the hostel and we chose Katong over other ethnic quarters for its distributed representation of all cultures in Singapore, its history, foods, architecture etc. One of the things that won us over was the fierce loyalty a Katonite (person from Katong) has of his community.

	HK Foodie - Another SE Asian favourite: KATONG
		It is a mixture of cucumber, pineapple, mango, turnip, fried doughstick (yau tiu), all mixed together with a dark, semi-sweet soy-based sauce, and sprinkled with peanuts and chopped chillis.
		I really enjoy Katong's version of rojak, as the amount of sauce is just right and does not smother the fruits and yau tiu (as it so often does in Singapore).
		Katong also serves a couple of local desserts: tau suan and cheng tng (neither of which I am a fan).

	Uniquely Singapore - The Katong Laksa Wars
		The Katong variety differs from its counterparts in that it is served only with a spoon (no chopsticks required), and mostly consists of rice noodles, cockles and shrimps.
		But of greater interest is that the dish can’t be separated from the territorial tussle that’s come to be known as the ‘Katong Laksa Wars’, with four stalls (47, 49, 57 and 328) along the same stretch of road claiming to be the best/the original - the Real McCoy.
		Indeed, the walls of these stalls (particularly No. 49) read like an honour roll of who’s who of the local entertainment scene, adorned with pictures of stall-owners posing proudly with their celebrity patrons.
