i12 Katong food guide
i12 Katong is back and better than ever. After undergoing a two-year renovation, the mall now has a host of new shops, facilities, and of course, eateries. While some food places from the mall’s previous iteration are returning, most of them are new additions that span a range of cuisines. If you’re feeling hungry after window shopping at the revamped mall, this list will help you decide which restaurant or cafe to dine at.
1. Bistro Bytes
Bistro Bytes is the crowning jewel of i12 Katong’s smart mall concept. At the digital ordering kiosk, you can choose from eight F&B providers—My Tampopo, The Pasta Project, and Milksha, to name a few—and you’ll soon find your order in one of the lockers situated next to the kiosk.
And since it’s a fully automated store, you can also order via the KLIK by Keppel mobile app, giving you the option of having the food delivered right to your doorstep.
