    This shopping centre has been around for long as I can remember. Can't recall when was the last we visited but it was sure a very, very long time ago. Many maid agencies here, some dining options and like many other neighborhood malls, many children enrichment businesses here too. We found a few photocopying and printing businesses and a few hobby shops. There's even a Teo Heng office up there. We also found a new FoodCourt in the basement and as we were gathered will be open for business very soon. We wish them all the best and success to their impending opening and business.

    It's an old mall. We roamed around and I noticed there are a lot of maid's employment agency. So maybe if you're looking for a maid, this is a place to go. We went here to try their famous chicken rice and carrot cake and it's good. Aside from the food, i don't know what else to try here. Oh! there's a tailor, a boutique, a dental surgery clinic, antique house, calligraphy store and salon. That's all I noticed.

    Came here to try the highly raved Boneless Chicken Rice in their food centre and I was not dissapointed. Took some time to walk around the rustic mall. It is reasonably maintained and I get to see many small retailers retailing niche products. It is a nice experience away from the other major malls where you mostly see the major brands on show. The upper levels mostly consists of maid agencies. It is a good place if you are lookong for domestic workers where you can compare the price and services of the various shops. Overall, it is like a throwback of the malls from the 90s, where the glitter and glamour is absent, but the touch of nostalgic is ever present. 👍

    It's an old shopping centre. I went there mainly for meals at the food court which serves reasonably priced food. You can find a shop selling nice banana tarts.

    Little night live there as compared to shophouses few blocks away. But the Happy Wok serves good and reasonably priced 'zhi char'. Can try the seafood fried rice, evenly spread (no salt lump or white rice) and not too oily.

    A unique shopping complex filled with karaoke stores, gift shops, spas and certain unconventional stores, this place is a great getaway for people who are bored of generic shopping malls with generic shops. There’s a nice bar and a basement food court to satisfy your thirst or hunger pangs.

    This Shopping mall is locate at East Coast Road 🛣️, opposite side is the private condominium facing the seaview of East Coast Park. Basically, this Shopping mall have many domestic helpers agencies at the 2nd & 3rd level of the building together with other services such as private musical learning center and photocopy services. This Mall has diminished its vibrancy after many years of generations. Katong Mall nearby has replaced this Mall with better, innovative & attractive services to catch the attention of the shoppers.

    Aging mall about 50 years old; mainly maid agencies, aging trades n a decent food court.

  • 4/5 Daphne S. 7 months ago on Google • 372 reviews
    Usually patronise Katong Shopping Centre for the Mei Wei chicken rice that is generous and value-for-money. Addictive and worth the calories! There is a also a Yong tau hu stall and a KL noodles stall located in this food court. At Golden Cafe at the other end, there are a variety of stalls to choose from too. Desserts wise, this mall is also known for its famous old-school banana pie shop. There is also a gelato stall. Outdoors, there are zi char stalls. In general, this mall has a mish mash of stalls that wouldn't generally mesh together, like helper agencies, optical shop, garment shops, antique shops, music shops, etc. Heard that this mall is closing down, but not sure when.

  • 4/5 Donald P. 5 months ago on Google • 307 reviews
    Small and old mall, not many shops and restaurants but there is a supermarket that you can find what you need when staying around this area.

  • 2/5 Andy H. 4 years ago on Google
    Not much good shops here, most of them are maid agencies. Basically, the only shop that is useful is the clinic (Chan Family Clinic). Always go there for medicine.

    Car park is horrible. And the management has the cheek to charge high parking fees. Guaranteed to be bumped, scratched due to the narrow carpark slots. Best be there by public transport.

    One of the earliest shopping centre. Now a little dated but it still attracts people here perhaps because of the food prepared by expert cooks that developed their own uniqueness over the years. It has a basement street.

    Atrocious car park design. Lots by the pillars are too tight. Most cars only park at the middle lots. I suggest look for parallel lots. Give a 👍 is my review helps.

  • 4/5 Vin K. 1 year ago on Google
    Whilst the Chicken Rice and its home grown versions prepared by the helpers (FDW) form the bulk of its trade, it is still a very useful place which should continue to evolve until the reconstruction is due!

  • 5/5 Dr. Martin K. 1 year ago on Google
    If you need to hire a maid there are a lot of agencies, but there is a special shop for fishes and you can buy everything you need for your pets- tank, pump, food and fishes! Really beautiful fishes!!!

  • 3/5 Sans 1 year ago on Google
    Not a big mall but gives a nostalgic vibes. Mostly maid agencies and saloons. A few massage parlours also but looks sleazy. They have some eateries also. Even have a couple exorcist shops.

  • 5/5 Dennis H. 1 year ago on Google
    Many maid agency here. No lack of comparison. Famous chicken Rice yum yum at B1 cafe. Want to shop? Not a good location, for food and services only.

  • 3/5 Lee J. 1 year ago on Google
    A rather old building, got a lot of massage shops, maid agencies, a few enrichment centre. Recently, there is a new foodcourt. You can find the best banana pie in this shopping mall. Shop is known as Dona Manis.

  • 4/5 Nasvill P. 1 year ago on Google
    If you are looking for helpers / MDWs, this is the place to go. Certainly, more than 30 agencies housed in this one place. Rates are almost standard, competitive.

  • 3/5 Maximilian J. 1 year ago on Google
    Dodgy as hell! But this place is like a time capsule, nostalgic building of the 70s and 80s. I always wonder what businesses would be put up here. Interesting to walk around. Some pubs on the basement that might be worth visiting. Ample parking.

  • 5/5 Mark 1 year ago on Google
    Chicken rice! Very nice owners running the place. Free flow soup and achar. With chicken rice so good, they didn’t have to, but they do. 👍

  • 4/5 Jun Rong C. 1 year ago on Google
    Would like to commend SSO Jumat from Elitez Security for his initiative and kind understanding. I visited the mall but was unable to find a bicycle rack to lock my bike to. SSO Jumat kindly walked with me to a nearby rail and helped me watch over my bike while I ran in and grabbed what I needed as fast as possible. I appreciate his kind gesture, initiative and innovation in the absence of a bicycle rack. I hope that his superiors recognise his effort. To the management: would be great if you could have a bicycle rack with CCTV security.

  • 3/5 Shyvonne L. 1 year ago on Google
    It's a pretty old and looks a bit run downed place. There are a number of restaurants and 2 food courts as well as a number of agencies. There's also a judo center which has quite a lot of students. I would recommend going to the new food court as it is air-conditioned, quite clean and has lots of food varieties compared to the old food court.

  • 3/5 SIMON SC L. 11 months ago on Google
    THIS Katong Shopping Centre REALLY CHANGED A LOT. It stood outstanding on its architecture layouts. During the 70 era, it was one of the popular areas in the east coast, where we used to "patron" n frequent during our school outings n sessions, but recently, when l revisited that area, l was sad to see that the centre were full of Employment or Maids Agencies n nothing special. The crowd flow was slow n limited. In fact, l was told that Katong Shopping Centre was put on "EN BLOC" SALE as of late

  • 1/5 Richard C. 9 months ago on Google
    They put up signs not allowing bike parking all over the place. Good way to be Anti-ESG and make it a pain to visit the businesses there. There used to be ample out-of-the-way space for bikers.

  • 3/5 Spencer P. 8 months ago on Google
    Old building smell, as expected. Mainly full of maid agencies. Make sure you check out the old school famous banana pies!

  • 3/5 Yap Hoe B. 6 months ago on Google • 88 reviews
    Katong Shopping Center is one of the oldest shopping centre in Singapore. One where u find the place to find textile fabrics silk cotton etc to make dresses shirt pants. It used to have the biggest snooker Center. Today it is run down with maid agency watch shop children classes and some unseen massage parlours. There is 2 thing since worth to visit 1. The famous Katong Delicious Chicken (definitely worth ) 2. Pie of all type .

  • 2/5 GN M. 8 months ago on Google
    Mall consists mostly of maid agencies, tailors, a few retail shops, printing shops and hawker food. Recently the building has had an issue with air-conditioning therefore quite warm inside.
