Hihihihihihi!!!! In a blink of an eye, a new week is about to end. How's the week been for you all? Mine consists of completing assignments, joining a CCA and just purely relaxing for the rest of the available time. Plus, I had my regular yoga classes today which was absolutely refreshing for the body and soul! Yoga is really something you all should try out!

Anyways, a couple of my friends and I decided to head down to Lola's Cafe for dinner after my yoga class today. It was my first time hearing about Lola's Cafe and upon a quick research I found out that it was a quaint little cafe that had just been open recently! Several bloggers have caught on it's scent and blogged about it and here I am, telling you my experience at this awesome cafe.

We ordered a Summer Swimmer Crab Spaghetti ($15), a Slow Braised Pork Goulash ($13), a Honey and Paprika Crispy Wings ($9), a Lemon Meringue Tart ($4) and a Caramelized Banana Earl Grey Tart with Pistachio Topping ($4). Our billed totaled to $45. It was $15 per person! (Very cheap considering the number of things we've ordered. We were very full customers when we walked out). I have included their menu here as well for your reference!

Summer Swimmer Crab Spaghetti:

• The sauce was tangy and slightly creamy. It is not spicy at all. It is very appetizing
• The texture of the spaghetti was good and the portion of the whole dish was very reasonable.
• The dish was filled with ingredients! Every spoonful had crab bits and chunky onions in it!
• I love the fact that they added the Rockets on it, absolutely lovely. (But Phyllis didn't really like em'. It's a preference problem.)
• I would say this dish is a must try!

Slow Braised Pork Goulash:

• It had this unique taste to it which we thought could be due to the Paprika. This taste is acquired. For me I love this soup so much, but for dear Phyllis, the Paprika taste was too strong for her.
• The pork was soooooooooooooooo tender and it had fully absorbed the essence of the soup itself. Simply marvelous!
• Being a vegetable lover, I am gonna list down the vegetables available: Celery, carrots, and red and green paprika.
• It also came with four crispy slices of baguette. 

Honey and Paprika Crispy Wings:

• These lovely crispy wings are a MUST to try! It's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Lovely!
• It's sweet and slightly salty, there was a tinge of spiciness, just a teeny little bit.
• However, the honey wasn't evenly distributed.
• There are 8 pieces in total: 4 wings and 4 drumlets.

Lemon Meringue Tart:

• This was by far one of the best Lemon Meringue Tart I have tried.
• The lemon filling wasn't too sour and the top egg white cream wasn't toooooo sweet. As the tastes did not come it two extremes, it fits really well as a dessert to end your meal.
• The tart was soft, not too hard.

Caramelized Banana Earl Grey Tart with Pistachio Topping:

• The Earl Grey filling was light and the caramelized banana complimented it so well.
• The pistachio topping was good.
• The tart for this was harder than the Lemon Meringue.
• I would definitely recommend this to people who wanna try something new. This is something that would definitely interest you.

Advantages:

• NO service charge and GST payable.
• The food's great!

Disadvantages:

• There is a space constraint, so it is definitely recommended that you make a reservation in advance before you head down.

My experience at Lola's Cafe was really good and I would definitely wanna go back and try their Brunch! This is a place that I would definitely recommend you all to go for quality food at affordable prices! Have you been to Lola's Cafe? Share your experiences with us!
