Wanderlust of smileybrows: April 2015

I am sure many are familiar with Lola's Cafe situated at Simon's road which is just a few minutes walk away from Kovan mrt. It is your backyard cafe amongst the landed house/ blocks of condos.The small homely cafe seats about 30pax and with many of the well-loved dishes. It is no wonder that the wait for a table on weekend can goes up to 90mins. We were lucky to be able to skip the crowd on a weekday noon, when Weiying and I were both clearing leave.

Yes very belated post, visited during last year-end hence the reindeer hair band on the server and christmas decorations below.

Piercing through the thin layer of egg white, you will see bright yellow egg yolk flowing out like a lava. What's unique is the avocado spread that comes along. They got their basic right on this dish:D

All time fav croissant, I love croissant!! My fav dish at every breakfast buffet spread. Buttery croissant with fluffy scrambled eggs, honey bacon, pork ham with cheddar cheese and mayo dressing. Another very well played dish made up of simple breakfast food.

Look at the generous amount of nacho cheese on the shoe string fries. This is love, but kindly share this dish as they come in enormous portion.

We were really hungry after skipping breakfast and lunch, especially after our first Bikram Yoga class. Lola's is quire generous with their portion and despite being famished, we really had difficulty finishing what's on the table.

Lola's only allows reservations on Weekdays, Mon -Thur and not on weekend. But fret not, if you would like to try such awesome food without worrying the wait, go to On The Table

#Onthetablesg, remember to add sg behind the hastag because #onthetable is overly used for tagging anything that is literally on the table. A spread of food, books, flowers anything. This cafe is a sister's cafe of Lola's. Even though they share almost the same menu, the layout of the cafe is a total opposite. Spacious seating that gives you your del deserved personal space. The cafe design follows a rustic industrial look and feel.

I have decided to ask Weiying to skip the wings at Lola's because I knew we would order this on the next day when I visit On The Table. Crispy honey glazed wings with succulent meat is one of the favourite that wins the brunch crowd over.

The table salad(S$10) with almond nuts and mescaline and balsamic dressing. Loves the crunchiness of the almond flakes bring. Get healthy before we get nasty.

Duck Confit with mushed potato(S$18) I am a sucker for anything potato, I love how creamy the mashed potato is, melting in your mouth.

Eggs Atlantic(S$15)- comes with my all time fav smoked-salmon. Again they always perfect their poached eggs with hollandaise sauce.

Prawn Aglio Olio (S$18): Flavourful with sweet juicy prawns pasta. I like the right amount of spice for this dish.

Fries with dipping truffle mayo (S$18), finds this over-priced for a side dish especially when the trull is in the dipping sauce.

The Big One (S$18) The big platter that has everything. But I actually prefer the fluffier scrambled egg served at Lola's.

Salmon & Mushroom truffle cream linguine (S$16) When anything comes with truffle, just order. I will chose cream based pasta to tomato based anytime. Creamy and tasty truffle but this is definitely gelat for one to finish on his/her own.

Waffles with ice-cream (S$10) $8 for single scoop and additional $2 for every scoop of ice-cream. They have quite a variety of ice-cream flavors which took us a while to decide then finally go for Strawberry and salted caramel. I love how thinly crispy the waffles are. Note that there will be a 15-20 mins wait for making the waffles.
