Staycation @ Hotel Indigo Katong Singapore

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.

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.

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.

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!

Goldleaf Reunion Abalone Yusheng 金宝仔捞鱼生

财源广进

年年有余 

may we blessed with all things good~

Loved the yusheng with lychee pearls and it's pretty sweet even without putting in all the plum sauce.

Next dish, is Superior Chicken Broth with Fish Maw. Didn't manage to get any fish maw but the mushrooms were meaty and smooth. The soup has a bit of thickness to it and lip smacking good. Grab the chicken skin before they're gone!

delicious chicken soup

Braised sea cucumber and tofu was an interesting dish with well braised tofu and al-dente sea cucumber.

Steamed Red Snapper in Hong Kong Style 港蒸红鳄鱼

lovely fish

The steamed red snapper was impressive with its size. Adequate to go round. Firm flesh and meaty.

Sauteed Prawns in Black Pepper Sauce 黑椒虾

The prawns in black pepper sauced was finger licking goodness. Messy, yes but so satisfying. Never thought I'd say this but the assorted mushrooms vegetable dish was so tasty!

Taiwanese Noodles with Scallops in XO Sauce XO酱带子面

The noodles dish was special as knife shaved noodles 刀削面  was used. Suggest eat the noodles as soon as it lands on the table.

lovely noodles

Last, diners could top-up $2 per head to change-up the Sea Coconut and Longan dessert to orh nee. Yes, why not? Orh nee was thick and sweetness just right. Perfect end.

Overall, Goldleaf Restaurant offers consistent dishes that's homely and satisfying. Make your reservations today, or order for pickup during the Lunar New Year period.

Thank you Kris for extending the invite and Karen for your hospitality! Reunion dinner with Kris, Ivan, Alvin, Tiara, Tracy and Hence.
