Breakfast at Baba Chews Bar and Eatery @ Hotel Indigo Katong

0 comments

Was doing a staycation at Hotel Indigo and the weekend getaway package came with daily breakfast at Baba Chews, which is just downstairs.

let's get some breakfast


So let's see what's for breakfast then!

cafe latte

Was greeted by friendly Merry, and upon seated, she offered to get me a cup of coffee. A latte it is and thanks Christian (barista) for the lovely latte art!

Breakfast was a self-service semi-buffet kind of affair, so I started off with a mini bowl of teochew porridge to warm the tummy.

DIY orange juice bar

It was interesting to see a DIY orange juice counter, but if you're not into making your own juice, fret not as there is a fridge with ready-to-drink juices such as mango and apple.

As the place wasn't that busy yet as I was down for a early breakfast at around 7.40am, Christian came over to ask if I would like to have a bowl of Singapore laksa as that's one of the specialty for that day. He also recommended the eggs royale from the regular breakfast menu. Yes, of course I'd try if he promise that the laksa would be a small bowl. Hahaha, can't eat too much as I was meeting Hence, Tracy, Ivan and Kris later for lunch.

Baba Chews Singapore Laksa

Do note that different days will have different items for the breakfast hot food menu. Laksa was available for Saturday.

sweetish, savoury laksa

The laksa was of milder flavours and there was plenty of ingredients in that small bowl. Quails egg, fishcake, taupok (beancurd puff) and small shrimps.

Eggs Royale

The Eggs Royale was very likeable. The yolk was runny, the hollandaise sauce had hints of truffle, plenty of smoked salmon (if not enough, the semi buffet section still has more!) laid ontop of the muffin. Tasty stuffs!

let it flow


I like the minimalistic cheese section, so took a little bit to try. There's cut fruits and the watermelon was nicely sweet. Good to see there's jambu air (rose apple).

orange pineapple shot

Christian gave a delightful service to guests as he went around offering juice shots. Thank you!

For dessert, I had the mini egg tarts which was also a special for that day.

Staycation @ Hotel Indigo Katong Singapore

0 comments

Been saying it for a while and finally, decided to book a 3 days 2 nights stay at Indigo Katong. This was my journey to the East. 

exterior


entrance


Arrived at the hotel and check-in was a breeze, thanks to Kelly. Guest was offered a complimentary welcome drink of tea/coffee. Guess what I chose.

reception area

welcome drink - iced latte


My room was up at Level 8, after enjoying the cold latte, Kelly walked with me for a short distance to the lift lobby. Loved the decor at the hotel with Peranakan motifs.



King Bed Standard Room 30sqm

spacious room


Room was of a comfortable good sized and was looking forward to explore the nearby areas. I thought I could play carrom while I was there but, that's just a table that looked like a carrom board... hahaha.

bathrobe

bathroom

retro seat and washbasin for the tired feet

'sole' purpose


The toilet is near the room door while the bath area is way at the back of the room. No complaints, as both areas have their own sink.

Thanks to housekeeping for keeping the room clean and tidy! Bumped into her at the corridor too, friendly and cheerful lady.

lovely tiles

shower area


The shower area is rather spacious and shower strength was good and easy to adjust between the rainfall and the handheld.

is it visible to the outside? 


The room is equipped with a coffee machine and a kettle. Minibar is empty saved for milk shots in lieu of creamer for the coffee. Not an issue as there is NTUC Finest just a few minutes walk away to stock up on any drinks of your liking.

so cute the cups

sweets

illy, I like

time to stock up

room decor points elevated


With all the trinkets/decor in the room, it's probably challenging to maintain but glad to see everything's pretty well kept at Indigo Katong. Kudos to the team!

lovely cushion covers


Went to check out the swimming pool at Level 11 and bumped into an exercise class being held at the pool. Cool!

let's go up

let's visit the rooftop pool

Hotel was rather sweet to arrange a delivery of a slice of ondeh ondeh cake for the birthday girl.

Will post more on the hotel breakfast, as well as other things to do in this area. See ya soon!
