Carlton Restaurant

This restaurant has been closed for 3 weeks already, not sure if it will be in business again.

One of the few remaining eating places in Katong that has been here for ages. Almost every other shop in that row of East Coast Road has changed, but this one has remained the same, as have most of the stall holders who run the place.
The familiar but now nostalgic calls of drink orders yelled from one end of the coffee shop to the other is still very much a part of Carlton, and that’s great considering how upmarket most of Katong has become. We still have a bit of our roots noisily yelled across the madness.
All the usual Singaporean food is available here, like Chicken Rice, Char Siew Rice, Wantan Mee and Duck Rice. I’m vegetarian and don’t eat any of those things, but from past experience it’s good stuff. It’s not the type you’ll get ty Boon Tong Kee of 5 Star just down the road, but it has an authentic reality that you won’t be able to find anywhere else.
Go immerse yourself in the truly Katong Carlton, and have fun watching the old men who sit there and drink late at night!
