But did you know that Katong pre-land reclamation was home to one of Singapore's better-known kampongs that made its living from the sea? Or maybe you're interested to find out why there's a Chinese Swimming Club that was exclusively for Chinese-access only? Elliot and I dig into what makes Katong so special, both in the past and the present.
