The name Red House Bakery was derived from the façade of the two-storey shophouse that was painted in red. It was famous for its traditional cakes and pastries such as its curry puffs and soft swiss rolls. It was also known as a favourite hangout for local bands during the 1960s.
There were two Red Houses when Katong Bakery & Confectionery was painted over the shop entrance in 1925. The other was at the corner of Bras Basah Road and Victoria Street. The Red House Bakery was located in a shophouse that is a wakaf property, put in trust to the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore by Sherrifa Zain Alsharoff Mohamed Alsagoff, the great granddaughter of Hajjah Fatimah who built the famous Hajjah Fatimah Mosque at Beach Road.
