When one mentioned Katong is mean foods and foods but to me growing up in these areas during the 50s and 60s where the Babas and Nyonya are known as Peranakan living amidst those pre-war houses with the beautiful facade, up till today they still draw a lot of admirers to those building among them are mostly photographers and tourist. Along East Coast Road is a church known as the Katong Catholic Church or Holy Family Church. It has its beginning in early 1900, started as a small chapel which was eventually demolished in 1931 while waiting for the new church masses was conducted in the nearby Roxy Theatre finally the church was completed 1932 due to the increase of catholic living in this area the church went through many renovations, in the end, the church had to be demolished again to make way for the new four-storey building with many amenities which finally completed in 1997.
