Exploring Katong: From Iconic Laksa to Vintage Finds (BONUS! POP Bakery)

Date of Visit: 19 September 2026 A weekend date with your partner doesn’t always require an expensive meals, an overpriced plane ticket or an elaborate itinerary. Sometimes, the best trips are right in our own backyard that blends in rich local flavors, a walk down memory lane, and a relaxed afternoon exploring historic neighborhoods. If you're looking for a perfect day trip in Singapore, here is how we spent a meaningful weekend re-exploring the charm, nostalgia, and hidden gems of Katong and Marine Parade. My hubby will be the storyteller for the day. Nostalgic Detour: Roxy Square Address: 50 East Coast Rd Singapore 428769 Nearest MRT: Marine Parade (TEL) We kicked off our day with Roxy Square . Built on the historic site of the old Roxy Theatre, this spot retains a quiet retro charm. Wandering through its classic tailor shops, traditional beauty salons, and quiet music nooks felt like stepping into another era; a true hidden gem for anyone who appreciates the quieter side of her...

Food Review | 267 Eating House at Jalan Kayu

I realized that patrons to 267 Eating House will sure have a pack of otah from that famous Hiang Soon just few shops away. That include us. After ordering our food, expect probably 10-15 mins of wait before serving up to us. So I guess that is the best way to feed that itchy mouth or hunger. Follow suit.

Just last week I tried Thasevi Prata. This week another try at this stretch of shophouses of Jalan Kayu. Another choice of Zhi Char stall and variety to choose from. The only thing that I don't like is those irritating flies around our table while our food is served. Probably they should take hygiene into consideration. They have limited seat capacity so do find the right time to beat the crowd.



How I range the food will be from best to good: Indonesia Prawns, Sambal Stingray, Beancurd and Stir-fried french beans.


The beans can be better if it is cut into smaller length. Quite decent plate of beans but nothing to shout about. As for their beancurd, the inside is silky but I don't understand the purpose of topping it with so much of garlic and chopped beans. I don't taste the blending of this combination. That's a minus point and not worth the price for these 2.


The stingray craving is satisfied although a little pricey with that portion (for 2 pax, $10). Covered with sambal chilli, the texture is soft and tender on the inside. Very appetizing. 

The Indonesia Prawns that we ordered is different from the photo on their signage (which supposed to be those dry type) but wonderfully, it turns out good with that curry gravy which the husband loves it to the moon and back. Although the prawns are not at its freshest, it didn't fail to impress our taste bud. Most importantly, we don't feel thirsty despite the heavy flavour of the gravy. Well done. Please try if you want.

Lastly, end your meal with their refreshing Mas Lime with Prune and Home-made Barley.


Overall, the food here is decent but a little pricey for servings of 2. This dinner is a beany and spicy one indeed.

They are at: 267 Jalan Kayu, Singapore 799497
