Hotel Indigo Singapore Katong is one of Singapore’s Peranakan-themed hotels. Filled with old-school fixtures and splashes of bright colours, this hotel would make any Peranakan feel right at home. Infusing Singapore culture and history into its hotel, Hotel Indigo has its walls decked out with drawings of old school Singapore.
What’s a better way to spend the weekend than to catchup on some R&R!? Kimberley Yong, one of our ambassadors, spent her weekend doing just that! She got a chance to laze by Hotel Indigo’s infinity pool which offers breathtaking views!
If you’re looking for a little R&R without breaking the bank or if you’re looking to spend a weekend time-travelling to Singapore’s yesteryear Hotel Indigo is the place to be!

Vanessa Ho, Anissa Tan and Dacia Kee were all there to catch Against The Current LIVE! Sadly, if you missed out on this spectacular performance, you’re pretty much stuck to listening to them on Spotify. But don’t let that get you down! They’re coming back to SCAPE* pretty soon!

Want A Chance To Literally Eat Your Feelings? Shangri-La’s The Table Is Your Answer!
With the latest initiative by Shangri-La‘s Golden Circle – The Table, you can let a delish meal take you back to a particular moment in time you have once relished.
Eating your favourite food is a multi-sensorial experience that can evoke endless emotions and memories. We’re sure you feel the same with, for example, your childhood food. What do you feel now that you are thinking of it?
The Table
Recognising the emotional experiences behind eating, The Table pushes the boundaries. Their
With The Table, you can literally eat according to your feelings, and to your whim and fancy!
Moods At The Table
Culinary choices are categorised under five moods (Elegant, Intimate, Upbeat, Chill, and Adventurous), and you can certainly trust that your desired dining experience will be met!
You can also filter through the various restaurant and bar options by curated experiences, local offers and member benefits!
Our Experience
We had the privilege of experiencing each curated mood with its accompanying dish and drink pairing. Here’s a glimpse of what you can expect! We’ll only feature three of the five different moods we’ve tried.
We’ll only reveal the ‘mood’ of the dish at the end, let’s see if you can guess the dishes’ moods right!
#1
If you’re slightly more daring with your food, a fusion meal would definitely tickle your fancy.
Sea urchin crab chawanmushi topped with a chilli crab toast by Executive Chef Frederick Kho of Hotel Jen Tanglin Singapore.
This tasty starter highlights the great flavours of the sea. The combination of local flavour from the chilli crab and the creaminess from the sea urchin over a chawanmushi bed certainly pleases the taste buds.
Mood?
The answer’s adventurous!
#2
On a date and want to impress your other half? You won’t go wrong with a classic dish of succulent steak and creamy foie gras!
Wagyu, foie gras, crushed potatoes, spinach by Executive Chef Franco Brodini of Shangri-La Hotel Singapore.
This dish was paired with an earthy glass of bordeaux, a quintessential steak wine.
Mood?
The answer’s elegant!
#3
Packaged oh-so-perfectly in a heart-shaped box topped with a striking red bow, this is certainly a romantic dessert!
Verbena, greens, buckwheat, lime caviar, white peach by Area Executive Pastry Chef Herve Potus.
The evening concluded with a beautiful landscape of sorbet lined with intricate clusters of verbena and greens. It was served on a paper thin layer of dark chocolate that provided a slightly bitter counter-balance of flavour.
Mood?
The answer’s intimate!
