Bikecation at The Warehouse Hotel

As we countdown to our big day at the end of the year, we felt that we needed a break from all of the preparations and enjoy the festive season. So we decided to have a fun bikecation where we bike to The Warehouse Hotel for a leisurely two-day stay without online meetings and conference calls.

Cycling to The Warehouse Hotel is relatively simple as you bike along the Kallang River, head up to The Merlion Park, and follow the Singapore River as you go through Clark Quay to reach Robertson Quay. Once we reached the hotel, we simply parked our bikes inside the hotel and the hotel staff helped us to store it. The hotel also offers bikes for guests to cycle round the neighborhood to explore the riverside life.

Thanks to a dear friend, we were able to upgrade to a spacious River View Room. The room was generally clean with a large bathroom and the typical amenities. One of the highlights of the room was a Bluetooth Bang & Olufsen Speaker with an amazing Spotify song list specially curated by DJ KFC for the hotel.

Once we have settled in, it was time to have a drink at its Lobby Bar which serves impressive craft cocktail concoctions.

Our first round of drinks featured THE GOLDEN AGE (saffron gin & vermouth, verjus, shoyu, olive tapenade) and BARBARELLA (hibiscus gin, elderflower, raspberry, egg white, earl grey). The drinks were balanced, full bodied, refreshing, and perfect for the festive season.

After nursing our drinks for an hour, it was time for another round with the B.B. King featuring banana sous vide in whisky to create a silky smooth aromatic spirit mixed with smoked maple syrup and barbecue bitter. It is a drink that you only need to savor once to fall in love with it.

Before the rain clouds rolled into town, we took a quick dip at the small pool accessible by the staircase on the 2nd level. There was minimal privacy from the street and the surrounding buildings, and the view was non-existent so hotel guests can definitely skip it.

Since The Warehouse Hotel is part of The Lo & Behold Group, we had to enjoy a meal at Po which features a refined modern Singaporean concept on local classics and staples.

Below is a quick round-up of our favorites from the breakfast menu:

HERBAL PORK BONE BROTH: Tender US Prime pork ribs, 8-hour rich white Sarawak pepper broth, freshly fried charcoal Chinese dough fritter.

The soup was delicious though it seemed to lack that extra bit of umami with the pepper being too gentle for my taste buds. The pork ribs were tender and juicy but I prefer it to be less fatty.

COLONIAL CHICKEN CURRY: Simmered chicken and potatoes served with crispy roti prata or jasmine rice.

One of the best chicken curry that I have savored these past few years and the roti prata has just the right level of crispiness and body to soak up all of the juices without losing its crunch.

CHEE CHEONG FUN by CHEF BEN YEO: The famous artisan take on a local favorite served with soya sauce, sweet sauce, peanut sauce, fragrant oil and sambal chili. 

My wife simply adored this version and she did not usually like chee cheong fun at all so it is a good indication of how good the dish is.

HEARTY ENGLISH BREAKFAST: Sunny side up eggs, chicken sausages, crispy smoked bacon, herb potatoes, mushrooms, vine tomatoes.

Standard breakfast fare done right and lives up to expectations though it is a little bit lackluster compared to its unique perspectives on local dishes. I would have loved it if the classic English Breakfast was also given its own twist and flair.

And with that we end our two-day bikecation at The Warehouse Hotel and for the big question on everyone’s mind right now:

Was it worth it? Would I return for another stay at the warehouse?

The answer is a resounding yes mostly due to its excellent service, its amazing lobby bar and flagship restaurant, and its strategic location to Robertson Quay and Clark Quay for wining and dining. 

Small suggestions for improvements include better cleaning in the rooms as I can spot dust and stains under the tables and shelves, and better use of the pool area for amenities that might make more sense.

Counting down to our big event at the end of the year!

If you don’t end off with Chef Damien’s dessert platter when at @RestaurantKin.SG, can you really say you had a complete meal there? Rich and moist Sugee Cake, with a hit of brandy, that’s just the right amount of crumbly; Soft, wobbly Kueh Kosui that almost melts on the tongue; and baked Kueh Bengkah, enjoyed with gula melaka syrup and vanilla ice cream, that warms you up like a Peranakan grandmother’s embrace. 😍 #FindNewFood #RestaurantKin #lobeholdgroup (at Restaurant Kin) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEvy7k5nO0g/?igshid=1nbrbiewk0aza
