== Background == Marine Parade's early history can be associated with the precinct of [[Katong]]. Throughout the early to mid 20th century, the area was a haven for the wealthy [[Peranakan]] community of Singapore. Katong witnessed a growth in Straits Chinese culture, developing a distinctive architecture style and even becoming the place of origin for the renowned [[Katong Laksa]] dish. Marine Parade, as it is known today, mainly consists of HDB (Housing Development Board) flats along the southernmost points of the estate. These were built in the 1970s after the reclamation of the island's east coast. Today, many private condominiums are also being built in the area.
