New GV cinema to open in Katong
Movie-goers residing in Katong and Joo Chiat can look forward to the opening of Golden Village's (GV) latest cinema GV Katong on 22 December.
Located in the new premium lifestyle mall 112 Katong, the new multiplex which is also GV's tenth cinema in Singapore, will house eight cinema auditoriums; six traditional halls with stadium seating, digital projection and sound, as well as wall-to-wall screens.
There is a lot more to be excited about: GV Katong will have a seating capacity of 924 seats, which includes 56 plush and super-luxurious Gold Class cinema recliners.
Said GV's chief executive officer Kurt Rieder, "GV Katong will offer a boutique cinematic experience unlike any other and set a new standard for movie-going, closer to home."
To complement the rich history and culture of Katong's Peranakan heritage, GV Katong will also boast a unique Peranakan-inspired concept.
For instance, its signature Gold Class in GV Katong will offer a sampling of Peranakan cuisine, including Otak Samosas, Assam Fish with fragrant Basmati rice, Nonya Kueh delicacies, in addition to Chef Chris Foo's Western dishes.
Avid movie enthusiasts who are interested to watch the latest movies at the brand-new GV Katong are welcome to check its listings for detailed screening times.
Meanwhile, some residents such as Pete Hoong, 30, told Yahoo! Singapore he was delighted with the opening.
Said the engineer, "There has been no cinema in this area for as long as I can remember. It will be a lot more convenient and I would love to check out the Peranakan concept."
